Hi, does anyone know what yellow spotting on a money tree could be from? Iāve had this plant for a few years now and it has produced slot of growth over the years but also has lost a lot of leaves. It keeps getting yellow spots, like towards the edge of the leaves, then eventually completely yellows and dies off. Pictures below to show.
Mine is doing the same thingāyellow spots on older leaves.
0 gillningar Some of mine are older leaves while a couple are towards the top bigger leaves. I canāt seem to figure it out. :/ Iāve checked for pests, it gets light from north window plus a grow light. Iāve tried adjusting watering in the past but the problem persists.

That is weird! Iāve never seen anything like that. Could be a fungus, maybe? Thereās also an incurable virus called mosaic disease but I know nothing about it other than a couple years ago I lost one plant to it, a giant gorgeous Adensonii. It looks different on different plants. You can search YouTube for videos about it maybe? Thatās where I get most of my training! ššŖ“š±šŖ“š±š
1 gilla I was wondering if maybe fungal disease it bacterial disease, Iām going to have to check what that looks like. Iāve heard of mosaic disease as well but I donāt know a lot of about it, I thought it was contagious to other plants but Iāll look that up too! Thanks! I love watching YouTube plant videos š thatās where Iāve done most of my researching/learning too!
0 gillningar I donāt actually think itās mosaic disease. I bet itās more like a nutrient thing like Terracotta mentioned. At the very least, you have a plant that has unusual variegation. A unicorn plant!!

Did you recently move or repot it? Money trees get stressed easily by environmental changes and their leaves would turn yellow and drop if theyāre disturbed.
1 gilla No I havenāt move recently. Last time I repotted was Aug 22ā. At first I thought it was from repot stress but it hasnāt stopped. Itās grown a lot but also has lost leaves. š
0 gillningar Since itās been that long, you might want to take a look at the roots and see how theyāre doing, even if you donāt plan on repotting it. The yellowing leaves could also be a nutrient deficiency issue, so refreshing the soil would help if thatās the case.
1 gilla Thatās a good idea! Iāll take a look at the roots and see whatās going on down there and give it some fresh soil.
1 gillaMine has been doing the same exact thing. I ended up repotting it and giving it fresh soil. The spotting bas reduced but its still not happy.
