Can anyone help me identify what’s going on with my money tree?

I water fairly regularly (only when the top half/third of the soil has dried out) and it gets pretty bright, indirect light (no direct sun whatsoever).

My initial suspicion was spider mites but there seems to be no signs of pests. I’ve narrowed it down to either a fungal/viral issue or an iron deficiency but would love more insight!

It could still be overwatering, because they’re supposed to dry out completely between waterings, since they store a lot of water in their trunks

It’s definitely a nutrient deficiency but it’s hard to tell the exact cause. What are you using to fertilize? I recommend phytoplankton.
