# My poor money tree 😔😔 it was beautiful during the summer but now…

_Posted by Sylvia on 2026-01-10_

My poor money tree 😔😔 it was beautiful during the summer but now it’s very sad. I try to bottom water it because I don’t want to overwater it. But I do see tiny leaves on the top, I also do a hot shower sitting for humidity, should I just leave it alone and continue to do that.  
Thanks everyone

It might be time to prune it down and let it start all over. Tiny leaves are a good sign.

Ahh one of the most problematic plants 😅 It seems like it got over whatever upset it with the new growth. If it was mine I would leave it the way it is for now and let that new growth grow

Will do 🤗

Looks a lot like mine!! I’ve had mine for a couple years now I think and it just started being so sad! You’re at least getting some new leaves there right, so that’s a good sign!

Mine was taped at the bottom when I repotted it. I got it at Walmart 🤷🏼‍♀️  
The tape was holding moisture under it and causing problems so I cut it off

I did that when I first bought the plant because I learned it can cause issues ❤️
