COFFEE PLANT SEEDS

(Coffea arabica nana)

Coffea Arabica house plants are perennial and can be grown in a greenhouse or in the home in a sunny south windowThe Coffea Arabica plant produces star-shaped, sweetly scented white flowers. These flowers are followed by green fruits which change to red then to almost black as they ripen, a process that takes several months. Inside each ripened fruit are 2 seeds (or beans) that when properly roasted can be ground and made into coffee. Growing coffee plants indoors from Coffea Arabica seeds is easy. They are vigorous growers and are long-lived.
