    I found some old posts from members with beautiful coffee trees.
    I had mine for over a year. I bought it as a 2 inch plant. It grew and got bushy.
    Then leaves turned brown and started falling of and it got almost bare.
    I transplanted it and found that there were 8 single stems bunched together.
    I spread them apart. Should I bunch them back together or put them in different pots?
    Does a coffee plant like fertilizer? Do I need to mist it?
    Thanks for any info.

    I got the cat at Calloway" Garden Centers.
    I wished I had gotten more :)

    Nice to meet you.

    Looks like it could do with a lot more light - move it closer to a window.

    I'd try to separate 'em and have a plantation. They're tougher than I ever thought.

    Hi Carl,
    I separated them and put them in two different pots.
    The stems seem kind of skinny. Wonder if they ever get bigger.
    I moved the plants into my bathroom wich has plenty light and moisture and they are doing great.
    I also moved them outside when it was raining and I think the rainwater did wonders.
    Thanks for the reply.
