# I divided my money tree from the grocery store into 4 separate pots…

_Posted by Bird on 2025-09-19_

I divided my money tree from the grocery store into 4 separate pots after unbraiding it. This guy is pushing out a new leaf (in background) but it seems to be sunburned? Wondering if the damage is bad enough to warrant me chopping off this leaf or if she will be OK. Also open to other theories as to why this damage is appearing! My plants are all pretty crowded together and currently I have all of my money trees at my east-facing window.

Did you water it?

Mine get those sometimes too and I agree it looks like sunburn. It won’t get better but I usually don’t remove leaves unless they’re mostly yellow/brown or there’s a fungus on them or something
