Maybe it’s dry or pulling energy from old growth to support new growth.

Thank you for this warning as I have a new money tree! ❤️

Honestly, these are the bane of my existence. They are fickle.

in my experience a few leaves falling off is normal. i’ve had my money tree for 5+ years now and it’s over 6 4 and it seems to do this a lot.
