Help! I was gifted this money tree and within two weeks it looks so rough. Any ideas? Multiple leaves look like this.

Have you checked to see if it’s rootbound?

Hmm there aren’t any roots coming out of the drainage holes or anything. It was literally beautiful two weeks ago and I think I’ve only watered it once

It could be sunburn! I’ve found mine is sensitive to direct light and mostly wants indirect bright light

It is in a window, so I’ll try a different spot, thank you!
