# Help please. I sprayed my money tree with neem oil and dawn dish soap…

_Posted by Marley on 2025-09-10_

Help please. I sprayed my money tree with neem oil and dawn dish soap last weekend and now the leaves are turning yellow and falling off. I added a photo of my tree the day I sprayed it last weekend and 2 pictures of my tree today. Thank you for any advise.

When did you do it night or daytime if you did it during the day with sun it was biting the leaves

Burning not biting

It was during the day but I was on a covered back deck. No direct sunlight. I misted it, let it sit out on the deck maybe 2 hours and brought it back inside.

That’s probably why then even if it’s not direct spraying the plant wasn’t a good idea it can still almost burn the plant
