A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 Arabian Coffee

I recently made a trip to Super Walmart and picked up a couple $1.50 plants while I was there. The one tag said Arabian Coffee. I was instantly intrigued and had to buy it. The other one was simply listed as Foliage. Ummmm...can we be a little bit more specific people?! hahaha

My first question is whether or not I should look into separating out the individual stems of the Arabian Coffee. It looks as though the leaves underneath may suffer from lighting neglect because the leaves on top of blocking some of the light. I haven't found any posting in here about Arabian Coffee plants and I was wondering if any of you own one or can give me any tips on it. It has two different types of leaves on it. In one of my blurry camera phone pictures you can see that it actually sprouted from a coffee bean.




My other questions is about the foliage plant. What kind of foliage is it? I'd also appreciate tips for this one as well if you can.

What a fun houseplant that would be to have. Going to have to keep my eye out!

Thanks Bill, that link really helped me figure out how large it will grow...wow! Looks like I'm gonna have some fun with this plant.
