Coffee makes for a great indoor plant because of its aroma and health-related benefits. While growing, coffee plants bloom white flowers that emit a jasmine-like scent—rich, sweet, floral and exotic.

Perhaps more than any other plant, it’s important to replicate the coffee plant’s natural environment: humidity, mist and filtered sunlight. Growing indoors is common, usually in a windowed room that lets in about 4-5 hours of sunlight a day (you can also use artificial lighting, which may be easier), and stays between 60 and 80 degrees during the day and doesn’t dip below 45 degrees at night. If you live in a warm climate, you can grow outdoors, but temperature regulation will be a challenge, because even one colder-than-usual night can destroy the plant.

Pick a spot with ample room. Coffee plants can grow up to 10 feet.
It is advisable to pre-germinate the seeds. First soak the coffee seeds in water for 24 hours. Then sow the seeds in damp sand or wet vermiculite in which the excess water has been drained. Plant the seed 1.5" deep in a deep pot. Coffee needs lots of depth for the taproot. Keep moist but don't oversaturate.

The seeds should be watered daily. Too much water or too little water will kill the seed. The soil should remain well drained, but moist at all times.

After germination, the coffee plant should either be left alone or carefully removed and planted in a soil with a low pH (acidic) and high nitrogen content.
