# I have had this coffee plant for almost five years, and it’s…

_Gepostet von AG’s Plants am 2025-04-27_

I have had this coffee plant for almost five years, and it’s positioned in a bay window that receives afternoon sun. My question is: why is the stem so skinny? I currently use sticks for support. I have trimmed the plant before to encourage growth, but it continues to produce many leaves and grow in height while the stem remains thin. Is this normal for this type of plant, or do you have any advice to help with this issue?
