Money tree leaf loosing colour
One of the leaves on my money tree is starting to turn colour. Wondered what it might be? The rest of the plant looks healthy although growth has slowed down a lot, but guess that happens during the winter. I read about the rubber band and have removed this too. Any ideas? #MoneyTree

@LushHaworthia15 If the rest of the plant looks healthy, it could just be normal leaf shedding. I’d keep an eye on it and not do anything drastic. MIn the meantime, make sure the soil is drying out before you water 💚👍🏻
Make sure there is no rubber band holding the trunks together if it is braided. The rubber band is used by nurseries to hold the trees together during transport. As they grow they squeeze the trunks and will eventually cause your tree to die. So if you have not looked already take it out of the pot and cut it off it will be under the soil hidden. Most of these WILL have one.
@Tisforthistle this one’s in a bundle of 3 leaves! Thanks, good to know this is common as this will be first big leaf I lose. Everything else looks fine.
@YokeKeylimetree thanks, I’ll cut back on the watering, be patient and wait until mine grows as tall and healthy as yours ☺️
Since you all ready removed the rubber band than I agree it is likely being watered too much and needs to dry out.
I also see I think a radiator behind the tree. I think that’s what you call them anyway and they put off cold or hot air. That could be your issue if it is plugged in and running. As these grow in warm climates they won’t appreciated sudden drops or rises in temp. And they will certainly let you know it.
If it’s never running your good otherwise I would move it away from that. And they do like to dry out completely between waterings and need some fertilizer to remain healthy.

@SuperbRaspfern Thanks Shannon. No, the radiator isn’t on so all good. Good spot 😉 I’ll leave the plant to dry out and hopefully that helps.
@WildNorth Yes, that applies to all trees that are fastened together as they grow they will start cutting into the trunks. You can leave the twisty ties on if needed but make sure to periodically loosen them up as your plant grows. Otherwise it will eventually damage your trees and or other plants.
@WildNorth You are very welcome! ❤️
