What’s wrong with him? The moisture meter says dry. Maybe I’m not watering enough? Is the soil too “high drain”? Is it too cold (sometimes this room gets down in the 50s)?

Money trees are soo sensitive! Mine looked like this and shed half of its leaves. They react to everything, even when you move them slightly. The changes in the temperature of the room can definitely affect them. I repotted mine in well draining soil thinking it may have been overwatered and put it in indirect sun as they don't like too much light. Its looking better and shooting up new branches now.

Yk, I did move it around a bit in my room! It’s in the same window but in a different position. I’ve had this money tree for years! It’s actually the plant that started my love of house plants!

I think she will be fine! She doesn't look bad at all.
