That looks very similar to the coffee bean plant I have. They do need a large pot to grow in and detest having dry conditions. Mist your tree often in the winter months. It also needs to grow in bright light but not direct sunlight. It should also be fertilized on a regular basis. Mine tends to also get brown leaves(probably from not misting it), I just clip off the leaves and it seems to do fine. If it is not taking up water it probably needs to be transplanted.

That particular coneflower is Magnus. I also have White Swan, Double Decker, and Green Eyes. As you can tell I love cone flowers. They are extremely hardy and can be provide a beautiful show all season.
