Money Tree brown tips

Dry tips with firm trunks are usually a smaller problem than browning with wilt or a soft trunk base. Compare the newest leaflets with old damaged ones.

Water evenly and check nearby airflow

Water through the root ball when the upper mix dries, draining the nursery pot before returning it to a cover. Move leaves away from heating vents. Reduce excessive fertilizer; crusty deposits can be flushed from a freely draining pot with healthy roots at a normal watering.

If leaflets also yellow or drop, feel each trunk in a braid and inspect roots if any base softens. Trim dead tips only for appearance, retaining the green leaflet.
