# Hello all, I need help with my Money Tree. I don't know if I'm over…

Hello all, I need help with my Money Tree. I don't know if I'm over or under watering it, or not enough light, but it's not doing to well.

My money tree went through that / lost a lot of yellowing leaves. I only give it 1/4 cup of water once a week/ mist it. It also loves the sun.

Thank you.

While I don’t have a money plant, that type of leaf reaction can be caused by over fertilization and/or sunburn. If you think it’s either over/under-watering. Check your soil if wet, cut back on watering and see if things change. And visa versa if it’s too dry than water more frequently. Also monitor the sun if she is getting direct sunlight on her leaves move her back so she gets good light but no direct sunlight. Good luck, happy growing!

That looks like possible direct sunlight damage or over fertilization. But I don’t have a money tree. However, I have burned leaves more than I care to admit. If it’s not getting direct sunlight, perhaps it’s over/under watering, check your soil and root health, if it’s wet cut back, if it’s super dry or pulling away from the edge of the pot, it needs more water… I know it’s all very confusing, but you’ll get the knack of it. I know you will. Happy growing.

When was the last time u repotted? And is that soil or peat moss?

### Mandrakes\&More commented on 2026-08-05

If that’s soil and not moss, it’s extremely dry. Peeling back from the edges and cracking. If it is indeed soil then absolutely repot it, I’ve lost multiple plants to dry soil
