I have a money tree that I’m not sure what to do with. All lower branches are gone. Still creating new growth but not sure if I should propagate and start over ? I’m very ‘green’ with indoor greens. All suggestions welcome. The plant is in a very well lit room about 10 feet from nearest window. I water based on a schedule from app - but early days maybe overwatered ? Help…
It looks like your money tree still has some life in it, especially if it’s pushing out new growth! I’d hold off on propagating for now—just let it focus on recovery. Try moving it closer to the window if you can, and water only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. They can be sensitive to overwatering, so less is usually more. You’ve got this!

0 likes Sadly, lower branches on a money tree don’t usually grow back once they’re gone. Most new growth will keep happening at the top. You can encourage a bushier shape by pruning the top to promote branching, and placing it closer to a bright window to support new growth!
