What is wrong with this coffee plant? I follow Plantas directions and I have it right near a humidifier and the leaves are constantly drying out like this. I just snipped off four! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Thank you. I knew that. I don't know why I typed money tree. I changed it. Lol

It looks overwatered rather than dry if the brown tips turn soft before Turing crispy. Don’t follow the standard Planta watering schedule. Confirm the soil is dry throughout before watering.

I recommend removing those perlite chunks (or decorative stones?) on top of the soil. They slow the drying process of the soil. This could lead to root rot.

Thank you.

This is my second time trying a coffee plant and same thing happens to me. I have no clue, but I am learning too. Some of the videos I have watched say that they like a bigger pot to grow into, and they do not like to dry out. I have mine outside in a shaded area at the moment, but I still water it about once every 2-3 weeks. It stays moist for a LOOONG time. I have mine in 6” pot and it is about as big as yours. Just sharing my experience with you, but like I said, I am learning, so it may or may not be the correct thing to do.

Thanks. It's given me nothing but trouble. 🤷‍♀️

Mine too. Here he is. I still ask it to be nicer to me every time I check to see how it is doing. 🤣
