Help my money tree š the tips of the leaf are getting brown and dying. I repotted not too long ago. Put low acid coffee grounds on top of the soil and the pot has drainage, so Iām not sure what Iām doing wrong. I have a grow light on it rn. Any tips would be appreciated! š
Hereās another angle of the same plant. Any tips would be appreciated.
It looks like her trunks might be a little strangled from being braided too tight? If thatās the case, she would struggle to get enough water out to her leaves
0 Me gustaHow do I untangle them? I bought it like this years ago. Do I take off the pink ribbon?
0 Me gusta That is definitely the first step, and gently palpate the braid a little after. It looks like only one of the stems is really growing, but hold of on anything drastic for now. After cutting off the twist tie or ribbon, let it grow for a few weeks and see if she improves. If all parts are growing and the braid looks less strangled, you could consider applying a new twist tie. Ideally, each tie shouldnāt be on there too long during the growing season. Once the stem starts to bulge even a little around the tie, it should be removed
