The coffee plant is exactly what it sounds like, Coffea arabica grown as a glossy houseplant. Its deep green leaves have a distinctive wavy edge and a natural shine, and the plant grows into a full, bushy shape. Fruit is unlikely indoors, but the connection to your morning cup is real.

Give it bright, indirect light and keep the soil evenly moist without letting it go soggy; it sulks if it dries out completely. It appreciates humidity, so group it with other plants or set it on a pebble tray, and keep it away from cold drafts.
