Please help! My money tree has been losing its bottom leaves for the past few months. Entire clumps turn brown and fall off. We’ve tried moving it, changing watering frequency and nothing has worked! Thank you for your help!!

That’s a beautiful money tree and you don’t want to lose the rest of the trees! Usually yellow falling leaves are a sign of nutrient deficiency or overwatering (you should probably check the roots and see if there’s any root rot) The bark looks healthy which means it’s retaining water well. The tree is native to Mexico and South America and loveeeessssssss high humidity! I mist mine daily and they seem to be happy but if you don’t want to do that you can put the pot in a plate with pebbles AND water (which I see you already do!) They also love bright indirect light. You may lose the leaves that are already dead but with misting and less watering (once every one to two weeks) and hopefully no root rot - it will give you new leaves 🤞🏻. Hope this helps! Good luck 👍🏻

These plants HATE to be moved… when I say hate I mean they really hate it. Once you have it in a spot it’s acclimated to, leave it if at all possible. I moved mine and lost every single leaf… not a single leaf was left. But they all grew back! Looking great now. I don’t mist any of my plants because that’s asking for fungal & bacterial infections, instead I use a humidifier & fan for airflow. And I have mine where it can see out of a window under a grow light. I also fertilize mine every month
