My money tree looks like the leaves are burning? Maybe? Idk. I’m very new to plant ownership. I got this beauty at the store, repotted a few weeks ago. Been doing good. But noticed this last week. I also haven’t used any fertilizer yet and feel like that might be part of the problem? Or to much light?  
Can anyone help?

I would say too much light, are you using a grow light?? If so I’d either turn it down or move it farther away from the plant. I wouldn’t think it’s from lack of fertilizer but I could be wrong, typically new soil has nutrients in it so yeah I would adjust the lighting and see how it does and if that doesn’t help then if start looking at other things that could be an issue. Good Luck!!

Thank you! I will try moving her farther from the light.
