    I will say I’m new to money trees myself. I’m currently on my 3rd one. What I have learned is. I water till it comes out the bottom then stop. Let it completely dry out before watering again. When top soil is dry water. I also don’t have it in a window where it gets sun. It’s in a north facing (I want to say) window and it gets bright light almost all day. I’m not exactly sure how to save it. With mine I discovered there was rubber bands cutting into the base of the trunk where the roots were. That was my problem. I also discovered I was watering way too much that was why my trunks were rotting one by one. I also mixed orchid bark and extra pertile in the soil to give extra drainage. One lady on here told me that money trees take 6 months to adjust to new home. I believe that because of what happened with my others.

      If you want to. You can. Mine has some that some of the leaves dropped the rest is still good. On mine. If the part coming from the branch is still green. I leave it. I’ve had mine a month. First picture is from last week. Second is day I got it. Aug. 11th.
