Great plant
Reviewed By: Cindy (Cutchogue, New York)
Great plant it's still little I got it a couple months ago but it's doing great and has new growth. It's outside for the summer and it seems to need minimum care I put it in one of the pots that you water from the bottom and here we get a lot of humidity and lots of sea breeze so I think it helps out lots considering the plant should be misted often. Overall I can't wait 4 years from now to see it produce coffee!

Great Patio and House Plant
Reviewed By: Melissa B. (Louisville, KY)
Bought this little thing last year, had it on my porch all summer. very tough plant! Have it inside for the winter. The plant has done very well and has at least tripled in size with no special care. What a neat plant to have!

Coffee plants
Reviewed By: Justin B (Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin)
This coffee plant does great year round, even in Wisconsin when it gets cold! Make sure though that in the dry winter months that you bring it inside, and if the leaves start to wrinkle or turn brown, place the coffee plant near a large steam bath. These leaves need steam or else they fall off and the plant will die. Make sure to fertilize the plant! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at bruenju@pesd.org! happy growing!
