That’s happening to mine too. :(

Mines lost a couple more leaves :(

I noticed this happens with my plants if they don’t get enough sunlight. Or if they get too much sunlight. I learned that I needed the perfect balance, they are right by my window in indirect sunlight. Seems to be working for them and they are thriving now

#### Plant replied on 2023-12-13

I don’t have it close to the window because I was advised the Pachiras don’t like direct sunlight. I am unsure. Please advise

Here is where I put mine. There are many trees near this window so they help shade the money tree from a lot of the direct sunlight. You want enough but not too much sunlight.

Are you doing a chip of ice to water or are you using tap water? If ice I would switch for a bit. The plant looks healthy so I wouldn’t get nervous.

#### Plant replied on 2023-12-13

I do tap water once a week. Should I cut back ?

### Dawn commented on 2023-12-14

No ma’am you’re doing fine. I just always used an ice cube. But tab water is good too. Just check that it’s dry before you water. I overwatered everything when I started. 🤦‍♀️ so I learned the hard way. Beautiful plant
