Coffee plant is the source of the world's most popular breakfast beverage. Not many know, however, that it makes a beautiful and easy-to-grow house plant.
Coffea Robusta is believed to be the first species of coffee to be cultivated, being grown in assam for well over 1,000 years. It is an evergreen shrub that has glossy, dark-green leaves with ruffled edges on willowy stems.
Coffee bean plant can reach 15 ft or more in its native tropical habitat, but stays much smaller confined to a pot. You can cut it back to control its size. Pruning harshly won't hurt it at all.
