In order to produce coffee beans, a coffee plant needs quite a bit of sun. In fact, it needs about four hours of direct sunlight each day in order to thrive. However, too much sun can be just as damaging as too little sun.
If a coffee plant gets more than six hours of direct sunlight each day, the leaves will start to scorch and the beans will not develop properly.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A COFFEE PLANT | DONNA JOSHI
If you want to grow a coffee plant, you need to make sure it gets enough sun. The amount of sun a coffee plant needs depends on the variety of coffee plant. Some varieties need more sun than others.
Most coffee plants need at least four hours of direct sunlight each day.
Coffee Plant Care Indoor
Assuming you would like tips on how to care for a coffee plant indoors:
Coffee plants are tropical evergreens that can grow quite large outdoors, but are often kept much smaller when grown indoors. They prefer bright, indirect sunlight and warm temperatures, making them ideal houseplants.
Here are some tips on how to care for your indoor coffee plant to keep it healthy and happy.
Watering: Coffee plants need to be kept moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out in between waterings.
If your plant is looking droopy, it probably needs more water. Yellow leaves can indicate over-watering, while brown leaves usually mean the plant is too dry.
Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer formulated for houseplants every few months during the growing season (spring and summer).
Cut back on fertilizing in the fall and winter when growth slows down.
Pruning: Prune coffee plants as needed to shape them and encourage new growth. You can also prune off any yellow or brown leaves as they occur.

How Many Hours of Light Does a Coffee Plant Need?
A coffee plant needs around 12 hours of light each day to grow properly. This can be provided by natural sunlight or by artificial lighting, such as fluorescent bulbs.
How Often Do You Water Coffee Plants?
Assuming you are talking about a coffee plant that is used to produce the coffee beans we drink:
Coffee plants need a lot of water, especially when they are producing fruit (coffee beans). During the fruiting season, coffee plants should be watered every day, or at least every other day.
However, during the non-fruiting season, coffee plants can be watered less frequently – about once a week should suffice.
How Much Sun Should a Coffee Plant Get?
Coffee plants need a lot of sun to grow well – at least four hours of direct sunlight each day. If possible, try to give them even more sun than that. Too little sun will make the plant growth stunted and slow, and the leaves will be smaller and paler than they should be.
Can I Grow a Coffee Plant in My House?
You might be surprised to learn that you can grow a coffee plant right in your own home! All you need is a little bit of space and some basic supplies. Here’s what you need to know to get started.
Coffee plants are tropical evergreens that can grow up to 10 feet tall. They prefer warm, humid conditions and plenty of bright sunlight. If you live in an area with cool winters, you can grown your coffee plant indoors near a sunny window.
To start growing your own coffee plant, purchase a young plant from a nursery or online retailer. Once you have your plant, find a pot that is at least 12 inches wide and has drainage holes in the bottom. Fill the pot with rich, well-draining soil and water it thoroughly.
Place the pot in an area that receives bright indirect light and keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Fertilize your coffee plant monthly with an all-purpose fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Once your coffee plant matures, it will produce small white flowers followed by green berries.
These berries will eventually turn red as they ripen. To harvest your own fresh coffee beans, wait until the berries are fully ripe and then pick them off the plant individually (being careful not to damage the branches). Dry the beans on a clean surface for about two weeks until they reach 12% moisture content – this is when they’re ready to roast!
Conclusion
Coffee plants need a lot of sun to grow well – at least four hours of direct sunlight per day. However, too much sun can be harmful to the plant, causing the leaves to turn yellow and eventually drop off. If you live in an area with very hot summers, it’s best to provide some afternoon shade for your coffee plant.
