Just noticed this on my coffee plant today, what is it from? I water when the top inch or so of soil is dry, so its most likely still damp farther down. Its under a grow light. I've been fertilizing once a month with superthrive. The humidity usually stays around 40% and i mist.
The yellow dots might be some kind of fungal issue with the roots. I’d also check the roots for root rot. I’d let the plant dry maybe. I have a coffee plant too, and it’s the only plant that I consistently kill. I don’t know why this plant is more dramatic than all the other plants I own, but my coffee plant hates living.
3 J'aimeI haven't really had lots of problems with this one unless I'm doing something with it that I literally know is a no, like not enough light or miracle grow fertilizer. This is slightly concerning tho. I will let it dry out more and see if that helps, come spring I want to change the soil to a better draining mix and maybe put it in a smaller pot, the one its in was pretty big for it.

1 j'aime I have not! I neglect this plant because it is such a drama queen so I definitely don’t want more 🤣
2 J'aimeI’m no expert But Little squiggly thin white fibers… could this be… I hate to say it… spider mites? 😭
1 j'aimeI think its dust, I was noticing it was really dirty and I'm gonna give it a shower. I hope it is anyways. I will def check it out more.

With the dots, it makes me think a pest or fungal is going on. If you see a rabid increase, it's more likely bacterial
1 j'aimeI did check for pests and didn't see anything. I will try fungicide and see what happens. If its bacteria, what would you recommend?
0 J'aime I only have used physan 20 for antibacterial
