Money tree repotted in larger pot leaves are turning yell...

Do you use grow light or sunlight? It looks like it's reaching for light
This is my money tree I use grow lights for all my plants
@BusyTukauki Too large of a pot coupled with transplant shock looks like the issue. The pot should only be 1" to 2" larger than the root ball. Anything larger and it will take too long for the soil to dry out. Roots need oxygen to breathe and if they are sitting in wet soil they basically suffocate and die. I'd suggest replanting in a smaller pot and moving the plant closer to a window. Within 3 feet from a light source is ideal. Or use grow lights as @NimbleBasil73 suggested.
When I first got into house plants I thought any soil would do I learned the hard way lol. I agree 100% with Heidi I was going to mention maybe our chunkier soil and so it dries out faster to help protect from root rot
@NimbleBasil73 Great suggestion! 😃👍
