Coffee Tree

**livnlet** · #1 March 8th, 2007, 09:53 PM

I found some old posts from members with beautiful coffee trees.
I had mine for over a year. I bought it as a 2 inch plant. It grew and got bushy.
Then leaves turned brown and started falling of and it got almost bare.
I transplanted it and found that there were 8 single stems bunched together.
I spread them apart. Should I bunch them back together or put them in different pots?
Does a coffee plant like fertilizer? Do I need to mist it?
Thanks for any info.

I got the cat at Calloway" Garden Centers.
I wished I had gotten more :)

Nice to meet you.

Looks like it could do with a lot more light - move it closer to a window.

I will keep an eye out for them for you.

Thanks, I will try that.
Should I bunch them together?

I'd try to separate 'em and have a plantation. They're tougher than I ever thought.

Hi Carl,
I separated them and put them in two different pots.
The stems seem kind of skinny. Wonder if they ever get bigger.
I moved the plants into my bathroom wich has plenty light and moisture and they are doing great.
I also moved them outside when it was raining and I think the rainwater did wonders.
Thanks for the reply.
