Hello everyone!

I wanted to ask if this is something I should be considered about. I’ve had this money tree for about 4 years. Never had anything like this show up on the leaves and now it’s on a couple of them. I don’t ever overwater my plant and it’s stays out of direct sunlight. Can anyone help identify what this might be?

Could it be root bound? If it hasn't gotten reported in a while rootbinding can cause leaves to brown

I repoted it last year. I can def check to see but it is a slightly bigger pot

i dont know much about what would specifically affect a money tree, but can you think of anything that has changed recently? heating or cold drafts, more light, anything with water or sensitivity to things like chemicals, etc?

#### Marxelo replied on 2025-02-05

Possibly the weather. It went from really cold to fairly warm pretty fast. That’s the only difference I can think of

if you want you can trim off the effected tips, and continue caring as usual. this will let you see if its getting worse or not, and its what i like to do if something like this happens to me.

i saw your comment about checking to repot - any report?

Yes I checked and it doesn’t seem to be root bound
