A Ming Aralia, scientifically known as "Polyscias fruticosa", is a tropical evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Pacific islands, prized for its finely divided, fern-like foliage, often grown as a houseplant due to its attractive appearance and ability to thrive in bright, indirect light and high humidity conditions; it typically grows to a height of 6-8 feet with slender, upright branches and features deeply cut, compound leaves that can appear almost lacy in texture; while it can produce small, inconspicuous flowers, it rarely blooms when grown indoors; considered a low-maintenance plant but needs careful monitoring to prevent overwatering and pest issues like mites or scale insects. 

The coffee plant, with its glossy green leaves and compact growth habit, makes a surprisingly good potted indoor plant. In ideal growing conditions, its fragrant white flowers in the spring are followed by half-inch fruits called cherries that gradually darken from green to blackish pods. Each cherry contains two acidic-tasting coffee beans. 

In their native habitat, coffee plants grow into medium-sized trees, adding inches in just a few months and reaching two feet within their first year. Indoors, the plants are pruned to a more manageable size.

Coffee Plant Care

Whether you grow coffee plants in your yard or indoors, the best environment is one that mimics the plant’s natural conditions on a tropical, mid-elevation mountainside. Here are the main care requirements for growing a coffee plant as a houseplant:

• Place it in a location near a window, but not in direct sunlight which can burn the leaves.
• Maintain a room temperature between 65-80°F.
• Use rich, peat-based, slightly acidic potting soil amended with organic matter.
• Water the plant as often as needed to keep the soil evenly moist.
• In spring and summer, fertilize with a diluted liquid fertilizer.
• Prune the plant in the spring to encourage dense, bushy growth.

Light

Coffee plants prefer bright, indirect light. Too much light will cause leaf browning.

Soil

Plant coffee plants in rich, peat-based potting soil with excellent drainage. Coffee plants prefer acidic soil. If your plant is not thriving, add organic matter to the soil to lower the pH.

Water

Coffee plants do best if they are watered deeply to moisten the soil throughout, then watered again when the soil has dried out about halfway. The soil should stay evenly moist but not waterlogged. Never allow the soil to dry out completely.3

Temperature and Humidity

The ideal temperature for coffee plants is between 70°F and 80°F during the day and 65°F to 70°F at night. Warmer temperatures can be good for leaf growth but won't help you grow beans.

Coffee plants prefer high humidity, ideally 50% or greater, though it should do okay in normal household humidity levels (upwards of 30%). If the air is really dry, the leaf edges can brown. Use a humidifier if you want to increase humidity around the plant.

Fertilizer

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, feed coffee plant with a liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength, every couple of weeks. Cut the fertilizer back to once a month in the winter.

Cordyline fruticosa Glauca (Green Ti Plant) is an evergreen, air-purifying, indoor house plant, forming dense upright clusters of rich, deep green foliage. It produces long panicles of small scented yellowish to red flowers that mature into red berries.

A corn plant, scientifically known as "Dracaena fragrans", is a popular indoor houseplant recognized for its tall, cane-like stems with long, strap-like leaves that resemble corn stalks, making it a low-maintenance option for most home environments; it thrives in moderate to low light conditions, prefers consistent moisture (avoiding overwatering), and is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it a good choice for various rooms in a house; while not commonly flowering indoors, mature corn plants can produce fragrant white blooms under ideal conditions; be mindful of potential leaf browning at the tips which could indicate low humidity.

The Curly Sue cactus, also known as Epiphyllum guatemalense 'Monstrose', is a type of orchid cactus with curly stems and white flowers that bloom at night. It's native to Guatemala and is a jungle plant that does well in hanging baskets.

To care for a Dracaena reflexa (also known as "Song of India"), provide bright, indirect light, water when the top inch of soil is dry, use well-draining potting mix, maintain moderate to high humidity, and fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer; avoid overwatering and direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves; prune as needed to maintain desired shape and remove any yellow or brown leaves.

 Dog tail cacti require bright, indirect light, fast-draining soil, and moderate watering. They can be susceptible to root rot and frost damage, so it's important to care for them properly.

Dog tail cacti prefer full sun, but too much direct sun can cause them to crisp.

Indoors, place them near a south-facing window.

If natural light is insufficient, use a grow light to mimic natural light cycle.

• Water when the top inch of soil is dry.
• Overwatering can cause root rot.
• Use a moisture meter to check the soil's dryness.
• Use a watering can with a long spout to target the soil.

Dracaena marginata is a low maintenance plant that can last for years. It prefers a bright or lightly shaded spot but will also tolerate lower light levels. It likes moist compost but is tolerant of erratic watering. Wipe the leaves occasionally to keep them dust free and shiny, pulling any that have died off.

A Dracaena Golden Coast, also known as a "Dragon Tree Golden Coast", is a popular houseplant with long, dark green leaves edged with bright golden yellow stripes, making it a visually striking plant; it prefers bright, indirect light, moderate watering (allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings), and is considered relatively easy to care for, making it a good choice for beginner plant owners; however, it is important to note that the sap of this plant is toxic to pets and children if ingested.

A Dwarf Umbrella Tree, also known as a Schefflera arboricola, is a popular houseplant recognized for its easy care nature, compact size, and distinctive umbrella-like clusters of glossy green leaves; it thrives in bright, indirect light, prefers well-draining soil, and should be watered when the top layer dries out, making it a great choice for beginner plant owners, but caution is needed as the plant is considered toxic to pets and children if ingested.

Ficus benjamina ‘Danielle’ (or Ficus Daniella) boasts glossy compact leaves that tend to sit more upright. Sometimes called the lollipop tree, you can see why this uniquely shaped ficus is a great alternative to your traditional Fiddle Leaf Fig or Weeping Fig varieties.

Light: For optimum growth, prefers a bright location with plenty of indirect light. Can acclimate to lower light levels, but this could hinder growth.

Watering Frequency: Prefers moist soil, not wet. Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry before rewatering. Do not be alarmed if you notice hard water marks appearing as white residue on the leaves. This is simply the buildup of chemicals found in tap water. You may opt for filtered or distilled water.

Soil: No special requirements

Humidity: High humidity preferred, and enjoys misting several times or week, or having a humidifier nearby in winter’s drier months.

Pests: Can be affected by mealy bugs, spider mites, thrips and scale.

Cautions:

• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight as this can burn the leaves
• Overwatering causes yellow and browning leaves with leaf drop
• Sap can cause skin and eye irritation, and is toxic if ingested

Zones: Indoor Use or Outdoors in warmer zones 10-11
