# Money tree is losing leaves. They are browning/yellowing and…

_Posted by Kayla on 2025-12-12_

Money tree is losing leaves. They are browning/yellowing and dropping. I had her tucked in this spot where she got indirect light but still a little shaded. She was doing great there and thought it might be too cold so I moved her upstairs where it’s warmer and higher humidity. Not sure what’s going on. Put diatomaceous earth on top of soil when I had a pest issue with other plants and she was nearby. I haven’t checked her roots yet. Any advice?

Money trees don’t need high humidity, but they do benefit from some filtered sunlight. If it was happy down stairs, I’d move it back.
