Coffea arabica (Coffee Plant)

Coffea arabica (Coffee Plant)
Family: Rubiaceae
Coffea arabica is a tropical evergreen shrub grown for its glossy, dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers, which can eventually produce coffee beans under ideal conditions. While fruiting indoors is uncommon, it is prized as an ornamental foliage plant and educational species.

🌾 Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, slightly acidic houseplant fertilizer.
