@Plantbebe I have mine very close to an east facing window, I put the grow light on from dinner to about 10pm (so about 4 hours). Mine is always pushing out new leaves. The only problem is they always end up browning. I’ve read from lack of humidity. I recently purchased a better humidifier but after reading your post I’m rethinking that maybe it is because of the lighting. @sarahsalith is light a bigger factor vs humidity? I’m thinking of moving it to my south facing windowsill after reading your comment. I plucked off so many brown leaves recently and she now looks like my eyebrows did in the early 2000’s 😞. I’m looking to save all of her baby leaves now.
@babyfiretiger13 my coffee tree is not near my humidifier. The humidity in the coffee tree's area is probably 40-45% humidity (which isn't a whole lot).
EDIT: oh my gosh! I just saw your comment- your eyebrows in the 2000's!! Ha! 🤣 The good thing is that plant will grow new leaves when it has enough light. (:

@sarahsalith I am making the switch TODAY! My indoor humidity is about 45-55%. Thank you so much for your help!
And yes the Pamela Anderson brow trend was no joke!! 😂

@sarahsalith that’s deff a mistake, the pot DOES have drainage, the picture isn’t up to date also and I’ve gotten lots of brown on the leaves. I thought it was because the grow light was too much so I lessened that usage but not much changed. it’s close to a window that is half covered by sheer curtains- still gets a decent amount of sunlight but maybe still not enough? It is in the same spot as my 3 birds of paradise that are absolutely thriving
