Hi, I'm new to plants, but for Christmas I was bought a coffee plant, I've been following the instructions in the app, but 3 months on, I'm still getting brown leaves. Can anyone suggest what I can do to stop the leaves turning brown. Thanks

Apparently they’re super sensitive to lime in tap water so they prefer filtered/distilled water

That was my take away also. I have a coffee plant that was doing the same exact thing. That's the advice I got and its new leaves are much happier. 😊
