Just got a new Chinese money plant in the mail. I just watered him and gave him a little food. Does he just need sun or is there possible damage from shipment?

I’m gonna say stress and possible damage from the shipment. I had two arrive in the mail and one of them arrived with serious edema from the change in temperature and humidity during travel. Check the roots and clip any far-gone leaves off to allow the plant to recover faster, and let it dry out in the meantime, then leave it be. It could be stressed from the root check on top of the travel, so it’s best to give it some time to settle. Hope this helps!

As for sun, I keep mine in the north windowsills of my house, and they’re very happy there. I’d say if you’re worried about it not getting enough sun, try and lower light windowsill.
