hello! I have these two Chinese money plants, their lease keeps shriveling up and dying. I might need to repot them or give them more light?

Mine like very bright light! And I haven’t had any issues and have been popping off babies !

Light could be an issue but what is your watering schedule like?

#### clo ☁️🪴🫶🏻 replied on 2024-02-12

i water once a week!

I would suggest watering when the soil is mostly dry instead of watering on a strict weekly schedule! It may be getting too much water. PlantyAnn has a great trick for checking soil wetness with a bamboo skewer/ chopstick that I have been using! Stick it in the soil and leave for a minute. If it comes back with clumps of soil or visible wetness don’t water yet- if it comes out dry then water! I hope that’s helpful!
