Hello, I'm working on a design project for a coffee plant terrarium. I was wondering if I could produce beans from a coffee plant around 30-40 cm tall (the amount is not as important). Or make it flower, at least.
And what would an optimum terrarium need for a coffee plant? Thank you in advance for your time

If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
I have a seven metre tall walnut tree and a similar sized mulberry tree, both at least twelve years old. Neither of them has ever done me the honour of producing a single flower.
If you want a cup of coffee from your tree, I wouldn’t hold your breath. 🙂

You can grow "Coffee plants" but you wouldn't be doing it in a Terrarium for very long. They make nice plants ( I've grown them myself ), but much like other "exotics", you aren't going to be a coffee bean producer anytime soon.
You don't say whether the project is simply your own idea or whether you have been set it by an educational facility - if the latter, I'd certainly query the reasoning behind it
I doubt that it can be done...unless you have a huge heated green house like Kew or the Eden project.
