The acer question has its own thread

I'm a concerned coffee plant mother myself. I bought my lil one from my local Aldi and kept it in its original coffee mug pot for some time. Started to outgrow it and looked a bit like it needed a new home. I've since planted it in a clay pot, but I'm sad to say it's not looking very happy. A lot of dried leaves and stems along with browning. I water it when I feel as though the soil is dry and I water it in my sink till soil is fully wet and draining. Leave in the sink to allow extra water to drain and get a little extra sunlight from my kitchen window. Can anyone help??? Any suggestions???

First remove any crispy leaves, and cut off crispy parts. They never un-crisp, and then you can see better what the whole thing is.
I just don't know what to say. Mine 'seems' easy.

Yiela said:I have the same problem. I was told overwatering is a big risk so i never get it soggy but its not super dry ever either. I dont wait till it droops to water it and i water a small amount often. The weird thing is that i put it outside for the summer and it grows and gets glossy. I basically forget about it half the time and its fine regardless of watering. When it comes in the house in the fall, it starts doing this. ive had it at least five years and its only about a foot tall. This year seems really bad and im not sure its going to make it. Any ideas?

Maybe because the plant has more light when it is outside for the summer? So maybe you need to give it more light when it is indoors?

Hi I have the plant for over 2 years and in the last 6 months the leaves started to have small spots on them and then they turn brown. It is positioned facing the window which is on the west side and I water it once a week. I stared picking the brown leaves however that does not seem to make any difference. Please help

Hi Annnak,
I don't see a clear problem. Still some nice green leaves.
The pot looks a little larger than may be needed. I'd try to reduce or skip watering and observe. I'd venture to say most potted plants are better with a little less water than a little too much.
Let's see if others have thoughts..

Thank you very much for you responce. I will reduce the watering and see what happens

So the coffee plant was actually multiple trees in one. Mine was from Aldi and I had to separate them. They're doing wonderful. Chances are they're fighting too much for.nutrition.and water and are severely root bound
