Coffee plant

Botanical Name: Coffea arabica

Coffee plant is the source of the world's most popular breakfast beverage. Not many know, however, that it makes a beautiful and easy-to-grow house plant.

This member of the Rubiaceae family is one of 90 in the Coffea genus. It is an evergreen shrub that has glossy, dark-green leaves with ruffled edges on willowy stems.

This coffee bean plant can reach 15 ft or more in its native tropical habitat, but you can cut it back to control its size. Pruning harshly won't hurt it at all.
