Hello Gardners!!  
I live in Michigan and winter has started. I am struggling to keep my money tree alive.  
I have removed the rubber which was attached to it.  
I have tropical soil.  
I have the humidifier on - since the heater is on 24/7.  
Soil is not that moist.. i am being mindful before watering.

Issues:  
Leaves are falling  
Leaves are turning yellow..

This is the second time i got this plant and its giving up slowly..

I really want to save it!!

Is it getting enough light?

#### Chetan replied on 2025-12-08

Yes.. i have kept it under full spectrum light.

### SJ commented on 2025-12-08

Perhaps pruning the branches with no leaves and the leaves loosing chlorophyll would give the tree more energy for the rest?

#### Chetan replied on 2025-12-09

Sure!! Will have a look at that.  
Thanks😊

Are you fertilizing?  
You might also change your filtered or distilled water

#### Chetan replied on 2025-12-09

I will try that. Will use filtered water now.

If it’s not an issue with overwatering, it’s most probably a humidity issue. I’m in MI also, and maintaining humidity in the winter is a huge issue. Especially if you use wood to heat, and for some reason, hot water heat can leave a house as dry as a popcorn fart.

Yeah, i have kept it near humidifier now. Lets see!!🤞🏼🤞🏼
