Yellow spots on coffee plant?
I’m noticing my coffee plant starting to have yellow spots on medium newer leaves. And it’s also been dropping old leaves. It is fruiting right now and beans are ripening. But I’m not sure if the symptoms is a normal behavior during this process. I would appreciate if someone is more familiar with this symptom and can share what I can do thanks!

Hi there I’m inspecting your leaves and I’m going to assume it’s some kind of pest, it’s hard to tell because pest like thrips can be very hard to see, I would really take the time to investigate and make sure you don’t have anything eating at your plant. The reason why is if they are attacking the newer leaves sound alike a pest… usually if the plant is shedding leaves it would shed the oldest ones not the newer growth, it’s not giving me fungal infections either, But maybe if you can add a picture of the under side of the leaves I can continue to zoom and check for you!
I found this picture on another post, I’m pretty certain this person has thrips, you see the white spots on the underside? I don’t see anything like this on yours, you’d also see black spots from their poop, so I’m on Google trying to figure out what this is for you! I’ll keep you updated, but as o what I see you inside of your leaf looks clean?
I think you main issue is fungal actually and can be from over watering, my favourite mix is equal parts, tropical soil mix, succulent mix, perlite and orchid bark, I find it’s easy I get the 4 bags and mix into a bin and get very good drainage. I’m not sure exactly on what the next steps are to save the plant but I would research into the disease because I’m pretty certain you are still in the early stages, hope this could help take care!
Hi Karine! Really glad to get your kind messages! I realized I did not make my post very clear but i updated it. I think the tight way to desribe is that the medium new and newer leaves start to have the yellow spots, and old leaves are dropping, particularly the ones in the lower part of the plant. The plant is fruiting and they are ripening but i don’t know jf that should cause yellow spots.
