Leaves browning

Question

My Arabian coffee plant’s leaves are browning and going all crispy in parts and sometimes falling off. I mist it twice daily and water it weekly but it’s near a radiator- do I need to move it or is something else in my routine at fault? #ArabianCoffeePlant

@Buddingbotanist · Answer

Mine did the same thing and I moved it away from the heating source. It has seemed to help. I would try that first.

@Colin · Answer

I'd recommend skipping the misting, which can cause more harm than good! But my coffee plant is a bit dramatic this way too

@BoozyBillsBabe · Answer

It may be getting too much light, mind was very dramatic and kept doing this until I moved it to a spot with indirect light instead of direct light. It seems to be happier now.

@Mommirose · Answer

Personally I water mine twice a week and don’t mist I find mine went brown when I misted it

Mine is doing the same.

@MicansMeHappy · Answer

Mine is also drying up and leaves falling off. Could this be too cold. Outside is about 30° inside I try to make sure it stays 60°-65 at night and during the day.

Mahesh · Answer

Having the same issues; Temperature is fine- I’m further away from heat source today and seeing if that works

@BoozyBillsBabe · Answer

I would probably move it. Also make sure it’s not getting direct light as that can burn the leaves. It need bright indirect light.

@Glassfull · Answer

They burn easily in bright sun. Maybe the radiator heat is drying it out too much. My plant does best when a little moistness to the soil and in bright indirect light.
