Hi everyone 💚  
I bought this Money tree one week ago, I gave her some water and fertilizer but she didn’t gets better. I don’t know if is an issue of overwatering or she hid a bug or animal. I checked her but I didn’t see anything. What can be the cause?

I would check the roots for rot. If all looks well repot in fresh soil.

May also need more light.

Also while you’re checking the roots, make sure the nursery didn’t tie together the base of the plant too! I see the blue tape there trying to keep it together.

I had a plant that was bound together for decorative purposes and I didn’t notice the lower band bc it was under the dirt. Once I removed it the plant got so much healthier.
