{"product_id":"ps-1ltr-hp-cof-ara","title":"Coffea arabica (Coffee Plant) – Evergreen Houseplant (12cm Pot)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCoffea arabica, the coffee plant, is an evergreen houseplant grown for its glossy, deep green leaves and upright, bushy growth habit. Native to the tropical highlands of Ethiopia, it brings a lush, tropical feel to a bright living room, office or conservatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoung plants are grown chiefly for their foliage: oval leaves with gently waved edges held on an upright stem. Only on mature specimens, usually several years old, do small white flowers appear, followed by the red coffee cherries the plant takes its name from; this is unlikely to happen on a young houseplant within its first few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as an established young plant in a 12cm pot, it is ready to pot on into a larger container as it grows. Coffee plants contain caffeine, concentrated in the beans but also present in the leaves, and are toxic to cats and dogs, so keep the plant out of their reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it bright, indirect light out of harsh midday sun, and keep the compost consistently moist without letting it become waterlogged, watering a little less in winter. It likes moderate to high humidity, so stand it on a pebble tray or mist the leaves regularly, keep it away from cold draughts, and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every two to four weeks through the growing season. As a strictly indoor plant it needs to stay above about 15°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee Plant, Arabian Coffee Plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffea arabica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, bushy evergreen shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright living rooms, conservatories, offices and other warm indoor spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy, deep green, oval leaves with gently wavy margins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring to summer on mature plants only, rarely in the first few years as a houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect light; avoid direct midday sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender, rated H1a; keep above about 15°C and away from cold draughts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep compost consistently moist, raise humidity around the plant, and feed in the growing season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender evergreen houseplant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Verdant Living","offers":[{"title":"1 Plant","offer_id":67617687208156,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-COF-ARAX1","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Plants","offer_id":67617687240924,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-COF-ARAX2","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Plants","offer_id":67617687273692,"sku":"PS-1LTR-HP-COF-ARAX3","price":49.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2455\/8300\/files\/1_975c2777-65c5-40ce-86fa-f2a76c8deac7.png?v=1790891956","url":"https:\/\/www.verdant-living.co.uk\/products\/ps-1ltr-hp-cof-ara","provider":"Verdant Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
