Theobroma Cacao Tree Care & Information

Bring the rich history of the tropics into your home with Theobroma cacao, widely known as the Cacao tree or Chocolate Tree. This botanical marvel allows you to connect with a centuries-old legacy by growing your very own cacao beans right at home. With a few simple steps to create the perfect environment, this exotic plant can be easy to care for and the perfect addition for anyone who wants to celebrate their love for chocolate or who dreams of one day harvesting, fermenting, and roasting their own.

This tropical beauty thrives in bright, indirect light and loves a humid environment with moist, well-draining soil. It is best grown in containers indoors or in a greenhouse (though it loves a vacation outdoors during the warmer months!), but if you live in USDA Zones 10-13 and your average annual winter temperatures don't fall below 50°F, it can be grown directly in-ground outdoors.

Own a piece of botanical history with the actual plant that produces cacao beans!
Adapts well to containers, making it simple to manage indoors or move outside
Delicate flowers grow directly out of the main trunk and older branches
Large, colorful cacao pods grow straight off the bark for a truly rare look

Theobroma Cacao Tree

Plant Origin: South America

Sunlight requirements

Thrives in bright indirect light to morning sun. Not suited for low light or harsh afternoon direct sun. However, as your tree matures, it can gradually adapt to withstand a few hours of direct sunlight.

Watering requirements

Water weekly, allowing the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant will benefit from extra humidity.

Is this plant pet-friendly?

This plant may be suitable for a home with pets.
