Arabian coffee
Coffea arabica
Arabian coffee is a glossy-leafed tropical shrub that can be grown indoors as a houseplant or outdoors in frost-free climates, preferring bright indirect light and consistent humidity. Keep it in well-draining, slightly acidic soil and water regularly, ensuring the pot never sits in standing water. With patience, mature plants may produce fragrant white flowers followed by red coffee cherries, making it a uniquely rewarding conversation piece.
