I got this money tree at cvs and repotted it (took off the rubberband in the roots) and it’s been yellowing since two days ago. Idk what to do. It’s at the window and I stopped watering it.

Money trees need bright light. You have it in shade. They also like to dry out between waterings.

I have it at my brightest window actually but I do think I overwatered and had it in too big a pot so I repotted to something smaller.thx for commenting

Make sure you also remove the rocks you have on the soil surface. With plants that like to dry out, having anything on their surfaces seems to make them unhappy.

You may still need a grow light within a foot of it running 12-14 hours a day if you are not get 8-10 hours of natural indirect sunlight.🪴🍀
