# Is this okay lighting for my money tree? I had it close to my window…

_Posted by caitlyn stevenson on 2025-06-29_

Is this okay lighting for my money tree? I had it close to my window but the leaves were getting burnt so I now have it in the corner and tried to rotate it so the leaves would turn, however now a lot of his leaves are turning yellow and falling off! Any thoughts? (The AC in the picture is never on!)

What direction does that window face? Mine are in an eastern facing window and about 1 foot away from it. I have two and had posted how one is doing better than the other and once I moved that one to a chunky soil it seems to be doing much better. What kind of soil is yours in? Mine wasn’t doing well in miracle grow potting soil.

It should be good there just make sure you rotate it every once in awhile so the leaves grow evenly all around.
