# Hey y’all I need help, my money plant has been doing well for months…

_Posted by Plant Mommy (Sorta) on 2026-07-18_

Hey y’all I need help, my money plant has been doing well for months since I got it, but has recently started looking really droopy and sad. I’ve been bottom watering it every 10 days (or whenever I can tell the soil is all the way dry). It gets bright, indirect light and there’s no drafty air conditioning near it. I’m assuming it’s a watering issue, but when I look it up I get mixed results, some saying it’s dehydrated others saying it’s overwatered. I will add that the lowest ring of leaves have been yellowing and falling off as well. Anyone have answers/advice?

The wrinkling of the newer leaves makes me think it’s drying out too much between watering. Maybe try every 8 days instead?

Mine is in a plastic pot so it’s retaining more moisture than a terracotta pot and Planta tells me to water every 6 days.

are we fertilizing as well? and i would also add that instead of waiting until it’s completely dry, try a little sooner so it doesn’t get stressed out

That seems like a huge pot for it
