Can these really grow coffee? The answer is yes! If your plant flowers, which usually happens in year 3 (these little guys are approx 7 months old), you may get just enough beans to roast, grind and make yourself a cup of coffee!

 

They like bright light but not direct sunlight and will grow fast during the summer months. They prefer the soil to be more on the wet side. Coffee plants are generally very robust plants but they do need a good regular feed.

 

If the new foliage comes through pale or mottled then it is lacking in nutrients, you can combat this by repotting your plant into a larger pot with fresh compost or a good houseplant feed.
