Indoor Coffee Plant: Overpotted, Root Rot, Needs Acidic Water

Jill's coffee plant from seed in 5-inch pot, 3–4 years old, 8 leaf sets. First sets dark green, recent lighter green. No new leaves 6 months, older leaves dying.

Will Creed: 5-inch pot too big for small seedling—causes root rot. Repot into barely-larger pot. Leaves may discolor from alkaline tap water—coffee needs acidic soil; use filtered/distilled water if tap is hard.
