Editing Coffea canephora (section)

=== Sun and humidity ===

Robusta grows naturally in a forest environment and is a good candidate for bright filtered light or light shade. It can be grown in stronger sun where water and nutrition are adequate, but a hot, exposed position increases moisture demand. High humidity and protection from drying winds better match its native conditions than a dry, windy site.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup>

For home landscapes, a practical warm range is about 59–75°F (15–24°C). The species has no freezing tolerance, so plants in regions with frost should be grown in a protected container or moved under cover before freezing weather. Pruning can hold a home-landscape plant near 4–6 ft (1.2–1.8 m), making harvest and inspection easier, although a production planting may be managed differently.<sup>[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup>
