Purchased in early May, well packaged, now towards the end of June it has pushed out 2 pairs of leaves. It seems healthy in its indoor location, SE facing window. Beautiful, symmetrical form.
I've had my coffee plant from logee's about three years now, it's about three feet tall and doing quite well. This plant is easy to grow indoors where I have mine, and I've never had an issue taking care of it. This is the first year I've seen buds on it so hopefully I'll have some coffee from it this year!
I have had my coffee plant for around 4 or 5 years now. In that time it went from a small little plant to a very lovely 5 foot plant. It has nice deep green foliage and is one of my favorite large plants. Around year 3 or 4 I got my first coffee beans, not enough for roasting but enough to start a few new coffee plants. Currently my plant has berries that are just turning red and I can't wait for them to ripen. Even if you aren't a coffee drinker this plant is worth having for the nice foliage and the fragrant flowers and beans. Guest always seem most drawn to this plant and my kumquats plants when they visit. My only caution is that the leaves tend to turn brown in northern climates if it does not get enough sunlight. I keep mine in a sun room with southern and eastern exposure.
Coffees make great house plants. I live in Maine and getting these buggers to grow took some practice. I found that they can stay outside in full sun, all summer. During the winter it's best to place a clear plastic bag around them, keeping in the humidity. They will let you know when they need water. their leaves will weep and feel like tissue paper.
The plant arrived healthy. It is an easy grower which grows pretty fast. It likes sunny window and humidity. Water as needed and you will be bffs. Thanks to Logees we have a chance to try growing tropicals and rare plants. Thank you for an exciting opportunity!
