Money tree is facing south east. Gets lots of sun throughout the day. A few months ago got house mite infestation that I treated with neem oil sprays – about three times so far over the last several months.. Have new growth but the mature leaves are starting to turn yellow. Is this normal or is it a disease process? Or is it too much sunshine?

If new growth is still happening, you might need a bigger pot. How are the roots?

### SS commented on 2025-08-19

That’s all I see. How else can I investigate the roots?

My money tree does not like direct sunlight.

Leaves turning yellow is typically a sign of overwatering.

Thank you. That is an easy solution for me!
