How do I care for a coffee plant in a glass?
If the coffee plant itself is easy to care for, then a coffee plant in a glass can get along practically without any effort on your part. However, it should be in a suitable place. A sunny windowsill is extremely unsuitable. There the plant is almost cooked because the heat generated cannot escape from the glass.
Place your glass coffee plant at least two meters away from your windows. Although it needs a lot of light, it cannot tolerate direct sunlight. If she is happy with her place, she should be able to live for at least a year without any care. The formation of condensation is completely normal, but not all of the glass should be fogged up, but only about half.
The most important things in brief:
- Choose location carefully
- as bright as possible, but no direct sunlight
- at least 2 meters from a window
- no further care required
- Lifespan usually at least 12 months
- Condensation formation is completely normal

A coffee plant in a glass definitely needs a suitable location, but no further care. However, it is a rather expensive variant of this houseplant.
