My moms money tree keeps dropping these yellow leaves. No pest issues found. She’s never had a problem with over/underwatering it. Any ideas?

    They're super temperamental and their root system is very shallow. This looks to me like over watering, did she repot it in a deeper pot recently and/or use a different media that has ingredients that hold moisture, like peat? They can get wet feet very easily and they prefer drier feet.

      She said she hasn’t repotted, and has been watering the same as she always have and it used to be thriving! She said she moved it a little further away from the window so it wouldn’t get too cold but that’s it. Weird!

      Are those older leaves? Maybe it was just their time to go.

    Mine did the SAME THING!! I stopped watering her as much and it’s pretty much stopped! It was so weird because it felt like it happened out of nowhere

    How old is the tree?

    Mine is doing the same thing since I moved it inside due to the weather change. I’m just assuming it’s not getting enough light, humidity, and the lower temperature.
