What customers say
Customers consistently praise the superior quality of the Coffee Plant upon delivery. Reviewers highlight its impressive size, lush foliage, and excellent health, crediting Bloomscape's expert packaging. The plant offers immediate visual appeal and robust condition, making it a worthwhile investment. However, long term care presents a moderate challenge, especially for new owners needing to maintain adequate humidity levels. Despite the specialized attention required, the initial quality justifies the purchase.
Know before you buy
While the plant is capable of producing fragrant white flowers and berries that contain coffee beans, it requires significant maturity and specific environmental conditions to do so. You should view the potential for beans as a fun, long-term bonus rather than a reliable harvest.
This plant prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the glossy leaves, or in deep shade, which will stunt its growth.
No, the Coffee Plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it in a room or on a high shelf that your pets cannot access.
The Coffee Plant requires a moderate watering routine. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Your plant arrives already planted in premium soil inside a recycled plastic Ecopot, complete with a matching saucer. It is ready to display immediately upon arrival, so you do not need to worry about repotting it right away.
