# I didnt water this money tree for 3 month. Im new to plant parenting…

I didnt water this money tree for 3 month. Im new to plant parenting and honestly just was lazy. I started watering it again a week ago and is looking better. Should I cut out the dry leaves or just leave it

Yes you need to get rid of every damaged leaf. It may be better for you to try Zz plants or snake plants because they are ok with the lazy days 😊they can stand being left alone

Remove anything crispy or brown. It may or may not come back. Just water on a good schedule and worth a shot though

You definitely should trim off all the dry leaves. It may be too late so you might want to just start again with the fresh plant. Live and learn!

It is always a good idea to remove dead foliage as that may attract pests; however, Money trees are not forgiving or resilient so I agree it may be a wash. Fingers crossed!🤞🏽

Yep, cut off the dead
