Hi everyone!  
i’m having a lil trouble w my money tree. she keeps getting these browning leaves. i have been hesitant w watering her lately because i lost some of her to rot. I’m not sure if the browning is from light or water, any tips?

Mine seems not to do so well indoors too long; I had it in an east-facing room but think it was not getting enough light and the dry AC possibly was contributing to yellow leaves. I brought it indoors as I moved this past spring and my balcony corner where I had it was very windy and it was getting dry patches. Now it’s back on my balcony but in a protected corner- it gets some light in the morning and rest of day no direct sun and it seems happy. I have never used distilled water for it and I’ve had this plant for I believe 2-3 years. He’s about 4 feet now. You can see the dry spots when it was being wiped by wind; some spots are from cold last winter.
