Coffee

Temperamental and thirsty, but fun to grow.

Type: Tropical shrub

Sun / water: Dappled light; it does not like full sun or full shade / water as needed and keep track: too much or too little water turns the leaves brown and shriveled

When I plant it: Early spring or summer.

What I’ve seen

Tropical, not cold tolerant.

How I use it

Very sensitive and temperamental.
