My Chinese money started turning yellow and then brown. I checked the roots no issues there. I recently changed my grow light from blue light to full spectrum- could I maybe have scorched the leaves? I just turned down the brightness a bit to maybe stress it out less. Not seeing any pests.

Also, this prop process has been soooo slow. I was hoping it would put out more leaves once it went in soil a month or two ago but nothing yet.

I had to restart mine a few times, I know the app says lower light but mine thrives in a west facing window and next to a full spectrum grow light, but it did took a while to be something (almost 1 year…) but now it’s growing non stop
