Coffee plants are thirsty little charmers. They’ll droop when they need a drink but bounce back within a few hours (kind of like you after that mid-afternoon cup of coffee!). Keep the soil consistently moist, but never let the roots sit in a puddle. They like a good drench, and then drain any extra water from the pot to avoid waterlogged roots.

These tropical beauties also love a humid environment, so a humidifier or a humidity tray can help them stay happy, lush, and thriving.

Coffee plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, so a sheer curtain or a spot just out of the strongest beams works perfectly. Keep an eye on them as the seasons change, too: summer sun can be more intense, so you may need to move your plant to a slightly shadier spot to keep it happy and thriving.
