Product Description
The original home of the coffee plant is Africa. To be exact, there are three different coffee plants, all related: Coffea Arabica from Ethiopia, known from prehistoric times. Coffea Robusta from Congo, discovered in 1898. Coffea Liberica (Coffea Canephora) from Western Africa, of no great importance in coffee trade. The first coffee plant of economic importance was Coffea Arabica. It grows to the height of 2-3 feet but the cultivated plants are cut to the height of 1-2 feet to get more width. The leaves of the coffee are lustrous dark green with lighter underside. The flowers emerge from the branches together with the leaves. The white coffee flower has five petals and a scent resembling that of jasmine. The coffee berries are cherry-sized and green at first, turning dark red later on. The ripening takes eight months. The coffee plant can simultaneously have flowers and berries in all stages of development. The coffee tree requires temperature of 65-80 degrees F. Thus, the coffee tree is a tropical plant. It is not a coincidence that coffee and humans thrive in the same temperatures. Our original home is the same - Africa. It is quite possible that Eve and her contemporaries (about 2.8 million years ago) munched coffee beans for pleasure. In the home, the Coffee Plant should be grown in a filtered light window. Keep evenly moist, not wet or dry. Fertilize regularly with a general purpose house plant fertilizer. The plant you will receive is growing in a 4" pot and is about 8" tall. There are multiple plants in the pot.

 coffee plants August 31, 2008
Randal L. Zelhart (salem, il.)
I bought a plant, or plants(?), which are now in my kitchen window. Seem to be growing well, but I'm hoping they survive the winter. I also bought some coffee seeds and have planted them in a BioDome starter tray, which is like a little mini greanhouse, and hopefully they will grow as well. Of course I suppose I should have this outside during the summer, but I'm not sure until I see how it does that I want to take that chance. I'm looking forward to good results though and maybe the seeds I bought will be something to look forward to this winter.

I was also pleased when this plant arrived. I have had it for a few months now, and it grows slowly and steadily. Very attractive plant, that you can leave in the kitchen window, and spritz with water every few days. I think it would also make a great gift, because who'd ever think to go to a nursery and buy a coffee plant? It makes a great addition to the kitchen or any room. I have not seen the red buds on mine yet, but am hopeful.
Even I couldn't kill it! October 2, 2007

The plant showed up in great shape and didn't wilt or anything when I switched it to a different pot. I am known for my black thumb of death and this tough little guy didn't even flinch during it's two week stay with me before it went onto a friend as a gift.
