# Haaalp my money tree is acting weird and I truly can’t figure out if…

_Posted by ToManyPlants on 2026-09-24_

Haaalp my money tree is acting weird and I truly can’t figure out if it has too much light, water, or too little light. It’s kinda deep in a basement so it has a grow light but I think the burning on the leaves is bc there too much light so idk what to do.

Anything helps sorry if it’s obvious but I can normally diagnose my plants bc I suspect there spot is the problem but here idk what it could be.

I don’t think it’s sunburn because the dry leaves are not at the top where I’m assuming the grow light is closest. The plant looks thin and pale. Which could be not enough light or it needs fertilizing.
