With yellow leaves, the otherwise decorative coffee plant is certainly no longer a feast for the eyes. The cause of leaf discoloration is usually in not quite correct care, but you can remedy this quite quickly and save your plant.
Yellow leaves can be the result of nutrient deficiency or excess
However, for this you need to think a little. Have you fertilized your coffee plant lately? How often and how much did you water? Both too little and too much water can damage the coffee plant. Waterlogging causes the roots to rot, so the plant can no longer be adequately supplied with nutrients. If it is not fertilized enough, there are the same problems.
Possible causes of yellow leaves on the coffee plant:
- nutrient deficiency
- fertilized too much
- infestation with pests
- rotting roots due to waterlogging
tips
If only a few leaves turn color in winter before they fall off, then that's no big deal, your coffee plant will certainly sprout again in spring.
