^I agree with Sherry about first checking your roots, do you have a picture of the pot she’s in? The way the yellow is predominantly focused around the base of the leaves towards the stem I’m inclined to say she’s sitting in too much water before I get the magnifying glass out for a pest check ;) ❤️
Yellow leaves suggest too much water, while curled and discolored (often browning) leaves indicate insufficient water. Wondering about your money tree's sunlight needs? To flourish, it craves a daily dose of at least six hours of bright to medium indirect sunlight. I have a couple of money tree plants and I’ve had to move them around until I find a spot they like. They need light but not direct sunlight. Here’s a link to caring for money tree plants: https://www.thespruce.com/money-tree-leaves-turning-yellow-7372776#:~:text=Yellow%20leaves%20usually%20indicate%20overwatering,medium%20indirect%20sunlight%20every%20day.
thanks for your help guys. I only water as the app sugests but maybe that is still too much. There is no where in the house to get direct sunlight. so she is about 3 ft from the window and outside I have a roofed patio so there is a small window of time during the day that sun can come though the window at the right angle.
