Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Coffea arabica bloom in a windowless office? No — it needs bright indirect light to grow properly and produce flowers. A windowless office is unsuitable. A grow light turned on for several hours a day can partially compensate, but flowering will remain difficult to achieve without enough natural light.
How do I care for the textured concrete-effect pot to keep its appearance? Wipe it occasionally with a slightly damp cloth — avoid household cleaners and abrasive sponges that can damage the texture. The textured concrete may show slight color variations over time, which is part of its natural and handcrafted character.

☕ Arabian coffee plant — coffee plant • 🌿 Dense shiny dark green foliage • 🌸 Fragrant white flowers at maturity • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🪴 Included textured concrete-effect pot • 📏 H20 cm | Pot Ø12 cm
The Coffea arabica, or Arabian coffee plant, is a fascinating indoor plant native to Ethiopia — it is the plant that produces the coffee beans we consume. Its shiny dark green foliage with wavy leaves is very decorative. When mature (3 to 4 years), it produces small star-shaped white flowers with a jasmine scent, followed by decorative red berries.
Delivered in its included light gray textured concrete-effect pot — the same clean and contemporary pot as our concrete range, which highlights the shiny dark green foliage. Discover it in our collection of original plants and in our plant gift selection.
Which Coffea arabica version should you choose?
Coffea arabica is available in several containers in our catalog:
- Coffea arabica in concrete-effect pot (this product) — H20 cm | Pot Ø12 cm. The clean and contemporary version.
- Coffea arabica in golden pot — H20 cm | Pot Ø12 cm. The luxurious and shiny version.
- Coffea arabica in handcrafted two-tone ceramic pot — H20 cm | Pot Ø12 cm. The artisanal and distinctive version.
- Coffea arabica classic size — without decorative container included.
The textured concrete-effect pot creates a natural and clean contrast with the shiny dark green foliage — a combination that evokes the Ethiopian origins of the coffee plant, a species from volcanic and mineral-rich lands.
Exposure & location
The Coffea arabica prefers bright indirect light — in its natural habitat, it grows under the canopy of Ethiopian forests, sheltered from direct sun.
- Exposure: bright indirect light — avoid direct sunlight that burns the shiny leaves.
- Ideal: bright office, well-lit shelf, near a window with a sheer curtain.
- Temperature: 18 to 24 °C, without cold drafts.
- Substrate: light, well-drained, and slightly acidic — universal potting soil with perlite.
To encourage flowering, provide high ambient humidity (60–70%) — mist regularly or place near a humidifier.
Watering & care
Coffea arabica prefers a slightly moist substrate — neither dry nor waterlogged. Check our watering guide to find the right rhythm.
- Watering: moderate — keep the substrate slightly moist, let the surface dry between waterings.
- Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduced in winter.
- Humidity: prefers 60 to 70% ambient humidity — mist the leaves regularly.
- Fertilizer: every 4 weeks in spring-summer with a liquid fertilizer for green plants.
- Pruning: pinch the tips to encourage bushy and compact growth.
Turn the pot regularly — Coffea naturally grows toward the light and tends to become unbalanced if not rotated a quarter turn each week.
Flowering & fruiting
It is one of the few indoor plants that can produce fragrant flowers and edible fruit. Find our guide on the life cycles of indoor plants to understand its stages.
- Flowers: small, deliciously fragrant white stars (jasmine), after 3 to 4 years of cultivation under favorable conditions.
- Flowering period: spring-summer, can last several weeks.
- Berries: after flowering, green berries gradually ripen to bright red — each contains 2 coffee beans.
- Conditions for flowering: constant bright light, high humidity, stable temperature, regular fertilizing.
Flowering can take 3 to 4 years — a plant that rewards patience with a unique olfactory plant display indoors.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
The shiny dark green foliage and the textured concrete gray pot create a mineral and natural composition — a sober and contemporary combination that highlights the density of the foliage.
- In combination: pair it with a Ficus elastica Tineke or a Calathea Makoyana for a graphic tropical arrangement. Find more ideas in our tropical combinations guide.
- Pot included: the light gray textured concrete effect pot is included — the set is ready to place with nothing else needed.
- Atmosphere: perfect on a desk or bright shelf — the textured concrete pot naturally fits into contemporary, industrial, or minimalist interiors.
Verdeia advice
- A plant with a story — Coffea arabica is the plant that produces the coffee consumed worldwide. Its glossy foliage, fragrant flowers, and red berries make it one of the most fascinating indoor plants to grow at home.
- Humidity for flowering — maintain ambient humidity at 60 to 70% by misting daily. In a bright bathroom, flowering is naturally encouraged.
- Pinch the tips — to encourage a bushy, compact shape, regularly pinch new shoots in spring. Without pruning, the coffee plant tends to grow tall at the expense of foliage density.
- Slightly toxic if ingested — leaves and beans contain caffeine and are slightly toxic to cats and dogs. Keep out of reach of pets.
