Want to grow my own indoor coffee plant. Need to know where to buy the seeds.
We don't recommend places to purchase. I would check your local nurseries, or online retailers such as Amazon, Etsy, Ebay. Normally, you will purchase an already established tree (albeit small). It can be quite unreliable from seed.
I can, however, offer information on how to grow Coffee. These articles will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/category/houseplants/coffee
I just received my first coffee plant and from it's condition it's suffering from lack of sun and warmth. It was sent to me from Texas and so it's drooping after one day of sitting in my house. I was not sure even how to prep it to maintain a good transfer. I was told to put in a container with holes, of which I have done, but other than that, nothing for giving it moisture. Please help me save it
They need to be kept moist, but not wet. It may just need water. You can use an organic soil or one that is slightly acidic. Add crushed lava rock to aid drainage. A plastic pot will be easier to manage at the plant grows. When it becomes rootbound, transplant into a pot one inch wider than the previous pot.
Here are care instructions:

Other than copper based fungicides, what product is used to treat phoma?
The problem with all of the genus, Phoma, is that they are all very resistant to fungicides, or any treatment for that matter.
The best defense, going forward, will be prevention. This will come down to keeping all leaf litter and plant material off of the surface of the soil, mostly. Pair this with watering ONLY when the soil is completely dry ,down to about halfway, the container and you may beat this.
One defense that I will recommend is something that I use for my citrus when they contract hard-to-rid infections is a casting of 1/2 cup DOLOMITIC LIME and about a Tablespoon of WETTABLE SULFUR per tree, around the soil.
This can make the soil very unfavorable to fungi and quite favorable for the tree, while providing a few of the lesser nutrients- Like Carbon, Oxygen, Sulfur, Calcium, and Magnesium.

My coffee plant which has bloomed prolifically and produced beans for a couple of years is looking really bad. It's now about 3/5 - 4" tall. I think it needs a drastic pruning and then not so much sun. How far back can I prune to get healthy growth.
Here's an article that should help answer your question.

In 2015 our backyard was landscaped with drought tolerant plants and an irrigation system. Two rhamnus californicas were planted. I have never seen blossoms or berries on either one. The one that gets more sun looks better, at least it has a good quantity of green leaves. The one that is mostly in shade has leaves that continuously turn yellow and fall off and many small dead branches. Your description of how easy they are to grow makes me wonder what is wrong with ours. Should we feed them? Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Your plants that are shaded may not be getting enough sunlight, or perhaps they're not draining well. Your soil should have a pH of 4.2 to 6.0. If the plants in the sun are doing well and the others are not, that may be the answer to your question. If you think there's something more critical, you may want to contact your local agricultural extension service for more help. Here's a link:

Indoors, 50% sun, 6” plots, watered every other day, 10/10/10 every other week.
Back off on the water and the fertilizer and it should be fine. (Fertilize every two to three months in spring and summer). Here are tips on how to grow coffee plants:

Hi! I did not know that I had to pinch my plant to have it grow nicely. Anyways I have pruned it now but the stem is so long and leaves havebecome brownish. Please help me as it took long for it to grow so well
You could move it to one size larger container but plant it at the same level it was in the first pot. Covering up the stem with soil could lead to stem rot. You can pinch off the top two leaves to get it to branch more.
