One of my money tree has had this happening on and off all winter, I want to hear some ideas too!

I thought it was draft, so moved it. Too much direct sun so moved it back. Not enough sun, brighter location. No pests, not over fertilizing, not over/under watering.

I have a control too with another money tree in the same room, same size, same type of pot, same soil composition, same water quality, and I water based on soil moisture level same as the other one.

That other one is thriving while the other becomes near bald by the time spring rolls around. Then I’ll prune it and move it to an enclosed porch for summer where it will make an epic comeback, all to do the same darn thing all over again next winter - so aggravating!!
