Thank you all for previous advice to check money trees for tape or bands on the roots. I have been struggling with a money tree for over a year. I finally repotted today and found a thick tape band wrapped around the root area. Three stems had root rot and were mushy which I removed. Thankfully it had what appear to be two healthy stems with leaves remaining. I cleaned those roots with water and peroxide and repotted them in a much smaller pot. Now we wait. I would have never known to check if I had not seen the comment posted here.
