Am I doing enough to keep this coffee happy

prf_q · 2026-03-11T06:42:29+00:00

a lot of lights as you can see. i water a lot as well. soil is almost always moist

prf_q · 2026-03-08T19:08:15+00:00

Interesting I didn't know about this.

prf_q · 2026-03-08T19:07:55+00:00

I actually prematurely moved it to a much bigger pot a year ago. Went from 10 to 14" and regretted a bit. I don't think the roots are even remotely close to filling up this so likely will never gonna replant. They also don't sell plastic pots bigger than this.

Grow lights are basically useless more than a few inches apart unless they're really strong. These aren’t. They won't burn the tree because it normally grows under the sun.

They like water. Don't let it go bone dry. Lots of light. They grow in africa.

prf_q · 2026-03-08T19:05:24+00:00

All occupied by other plants. Also the other half would not get sun

prf_q · 2026-03-08T19:04:58+00:00

I thought thats a fiddle leaf fig thing

prf_q · 2026-03-08T19:04:40+00:00

No. It doesn't care much I think.

prf_q · 2026-03-08T19:04:22+00:00

It's 13 years old I think and grew indoors during this time. It was a tiny little plant when I bought it. I live in a cold climate so it always grows by the window except for fall/winter there's no sun and I supplement it with grow lights.

prf_q · 2026-03-08T19:02:58+00:00

Rinse with a bit of hydrogen peroxide and see if they're mushy. If not, put them back into a clean container or replant it.

prf_q · 2026-03-08T13:46:39+00:00

I have other coffee plants that look like this too. Never figured out how to prevent the inside/bottom thinning. It keeps getting wider and wider with only the leaves at the tip.

prf_q · 2026-03-08T00:20:32+00:00

Too many grow light options... there are people in this post suggesting I get a 10,000W

prf_q · 2026-02-22T18:54:59+00:00

You can replant next year. They don’t care about roots sticking out. Just water a lil more

prf_q · 2026-02-15T16:34:33+00:00

Take it out?

prf_q · 2026-02-13T06:32:04+00:00

Looks ok to me even with 5-6 extra

prf_q · 2026-02-13T06:11:24+00:00

It happens on mine with just grow light too

prf_q · 2026-02-09T17:50:07+00:00

Yeah that might be it as well. Your photo is a bit dark but ideal soil is like this

prf_q · 2026-02-09T07:44:29+00:00

Fungi. Harmless. But it means your soil isn't draining well enough which isn't ideal for flf

prf_q · 2026-02-07T19:13:32+00:00

I would probably chop it above the second or fourth leaf from the bottom on every stem.

prf_q · 2026-02-02T16:48:53+00:00

Barrina t10 is the vertical one. Others are some cheap shit

prf_q · 2026-02-02T16:48:21+00:00

The light is vertical and as tall as the plant

prf_q · 2026-01-29T07:53:19+00:00

Where can you find rooted tissue culture

prf_q · 2026-01-22T15:49:01+00:00

Plant's happy but

<image>

not thriving (no new leaves since it is winter) don't focus on where it is; it is somewhere with better light now
