About this plant
Arabian Coffee Plant suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light, no direct midday sun. Its pet safety is not confirmed, so check with your vet if you have pets.
Wants bright, indirect light out of direct midday sun, has glossy, wavy dark green leaves and can flower as it gets older.
The Arabian coffee plant (Coffea arabica) is the shrub that produces most of the world's coffee. It is native to the highland forests of Ethiopia and was long grown in Yemen. As a houseplant it has glossy, dark green leaves with wavy edges on upright stems. After several years, mature plants can produce fragrant white flowers followed by green berries that ripen red.
In Dubai it is an indoor plant. It likes bright, indirect light and steady room temperatures, so air-conditioned homes suit it, though dry air can brown the leaf edges. Direct sun through glass scorches the leaves, and it dislikes cold drafts. Outdoors, Dubai summers are too hot and dry for it. Keep the soil lightly moist, never soggy.
It suits kitchens, bright living rooms, desks and coffee corners, and it is a good gift for coffee lovers. We offer it as a young plant of around 20–30 cm.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Arabian Coffee Plant healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; no direct midday sun. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 5–7 days in summer when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry; every 10 days in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: rich, slightly acidic potting mix with perlite for drainage. Feeding: a balanced liquid feed once a month from March to October. Common mistake: letting it dry out completely, which browns and drops the leaves. Where it works: kitchens, bright living rooms, desks and coffee corners.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Not listed in the ASPCA database (checked under Coffee Plant, Arabian Coffee and Coffea arabica; the ASPCA 'Coffee Tree' entry is a different plant, Polyscias guilfoylei). Coffee leaves and berries contain caffeine, so keep it away from pets. Check with your vet if you have pets.

Arabian Coffee Plant FAQs
Will it produce coffee beans?
Mature plants can flower and set berries after several years in good light, but a young houseplant will not give a usable harvest.
Can it grow outdoors in Dubai?
Not in summer. It needs mild temperatures and indirect light, so it does best indoors.
Why are the leaf edges turning brown?
Usually dry AC air, the soil drying out completely, or direct sun. Keep it in bright, indirect light with evenly moist soil.
Is it toxic to pets?
Coffea arabica is not listed by the ASPCA, but its leaves and berries contain caffeine, so keep it away from pets.
