Coffea arabica x25 seeds glossy tropical foliage plant
Coffea arabica is a glossy tropical foliage plant with a compact, bushy and upright habit. Coffea arabica is appreciated for its attractive shiny, dark green leaves. Coffea arabica is native to tropical areas of Ethiopia and Angola, where it grows as an evergreen perennial shrub in humid forests on high altitudes. This compact Coffea arabica makes for a great houseplant. Kept as a houseplant, it’s unlikely to produce its scented flowers and its coffee bean containing fruits, but it is for sure a great conversation starter. Coffea arabica is commonly known as Coffee plant or Arabian Coffee.
