Coffea catura arabica Seeds

Cafe Catura Tree

The world's most important beverage plant, with its handsome shiny foliage and fragrant white flowers, make fine indoor plants. In its natural habitat, these become small trees up to 6 meters high but rarely exceed 1.8 meters inside. It is an easy to care for plant and adapts well to full sun or part shade. To produce flowers and eventually coffee beans, temperature must be kept above 18°C. Plants will survive lower temperatures but flowering will be suppressed. Plants may bloom year-round depending on temperature but generally they are short-day plants, blooming most profusely when sunlight lasts for 8-10 hours a day. Flowers are generally self-fertile and will produce fruit without pollination. Coffee beans appear after flowering and turn red when they are ripe. These are worth raising as houseplants even if you don't like coffee!
