coffee tree

10 years ago

Hi I've had a coffee tree for 6 months now it's my first time growing a coffee tree. Some of the leaves are turning yellow on the sides of the leaf and browning tips. I was also wondering if the new growth looks healthy or not . I do have the tree in full sun. Some advice would be very helpful thanks Ben.

Ben, for a potted plant like that, the pot is its whole universe. So if any of the following occurred-overwatering, missed watering where soil completely dried out, too much fertilizer, no fertilizer ever.., this could account for what you're seeing. Any chance you can plant it in ground? So much better.
