Hi!
I don't know if anyone remembers me, but yeah. Hi!
I bought a coffee plant. Annnnnd I read the section on the coffee plant, but it wasn't exactly clear on how much sun to give it. It says "sunshine and rain is good" or something like that. Another place says to give it no more than an hour of sun.
I'm not looking to grow any beans or anything. I really like the foliage and the smell though.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!

Coffee plants are fairly easy to grow in the home as a potted specimen, which should be moved outdoors for the summer if possible.
They do best in filtered sunlight, with night temperatures in the lower to mid 60s and day temperatures of 70F or higher. Plant them in any good commercial, fast draining potting soil . The soil should be kept on the moist side, but never soggy.

But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

Hey Phoebe! I remember Nako, but I don't remember us conversing. I disappeared for a while myself. Send me some coffee if you get plenty of beans, hehe!

I totally remember you peppereater!
My coffee plant has been here over a week now, and its doing pretty sweet. It likes my window, and it likes when I fill the cup medium full of water and then dump it out to keep it moist. Good stuff!
