Money Tree leaf drop

A braided plant can contain one failing trunk among healthy ones. Feel each base and note whether leaf loss began after a move, cold exposure, or a change in watering.

Firm trunks

Check moisture inside the root ball. Rewet a dry center slowly; empty trapped runoff from a wet pot. Provide bright indirect light and stable warmth. New buds on firm stems show that replacement growth is possible.

Soft trunk

Unpot to examine that trunk’s roots. Remove a fully rotten trunk without forcing apart the healthy braid, and repot sound roots in fresh draining mix. Use a pot fitted to what remains.
