Coffee plants prefer acidic soil, so if your plant is not thriving add organic matter such as sphagnum peat moss to lower soil pH.

My sister bought a bag of soil acidifier to add to the containers she planted her blueberries in. I think she said it's formulated specifically for blueberries and hydrangeas (sp?). Would that stuff be OK to mix in with the coffee plant's potting soil?

Check the label so you don't over-do it, but I don't see why not.

'Miracid' from Miracle Grow is a good liquid application if you're growing a coffee tree as a houseplant. Make a lighter concoction than you would for an outside tree or shrub, or course.
