# Hi! Can someone help me understand why the tips of a few of my money…

_Posted by Ally on 2025-09-30_

Hi! Can someone help me understand why the tips of a few of my money tree leaves are starting to turn brown \& crispy? The tree is flourishing otherwise, new leaves sprouting every week. I water and mist when needed, I tried moving it out of direct sunlight and I think that made things worse.  
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Could be a sign of underwatering or low humidity, high salt content in your water (especially if using tap) or excessive sunlight. I’d say keep it in a spot that’s got medium/indirect light. The leaves can ‘ sunburn’. Could try keeping a humidifier or pebbles in a glass bowl with water to increase humidity around the area

I agree with above. Mine gets bright light. No direct sunlight.

Has the plant been repotted at all? The braided stem could be bound in the dirt someway. I’ve seen posts where the roots are bound together when growing to help keep the “braid”. I wouldn’t repot asap, but when you do maybe remember to check and free it, if it is bound together.

I had been thinking about repotting her since I’ve had it for about a year now. I did this yesterday and removed the rubber band around the roots. Thank you for the tips!
