Untie the top. It won't unbraid but the little tie on top, isn't beneficial for it at all. U also will need to prune once in a while also.
Okay thanks for your reply
It might be getting too much light. We have one in our house that is kept in a low lit room and it is thriving.
Hi, one very important thing you’ll need to do is check the roots for a rubber band or tie on the roots. Most nurseries do this, and if yours has one, it’s vital you get it off as it will kill the plant. Also depending on how long ago you bought it, it might just be going thru normal stress as it adjust to its new home. Is the plant really in an 11-12 inch pot? I’m thinking that may be too big. Money trees prefer to be snug. I have 2 that are 2 and 3 feet tall, but their rootballs are small so I have them in 6 inch pots. Money trees love a chunky soil (I mix mine- 50% cactus/succulent soil with 40% Perlite and 10% orchid bark) that helps with drainage. My last bit of advice is - if you have hard tap water, you can still use it but you should put it in a container and let it air out chemicals like Chlorine, Flourude and Salts that can hurt it. Or you use distilled or rainwater. I hope this helps! πŸͺ΄πŸ’•
