Leaves falling off Money Tree

Is it normal for leaves to regularly fall off the money tree? It seems healthy and continues to grow new leaves but at least every other day some fall off. Attached a recent today picture of it

Check under the soil and see if there are any wire ties wrapped around the trunks. Retailers use these to braid the stem as it grows but they eventually restrict root growth and kill the plant. They also might have one higher up one the stems but definitely check under the soil.

Also if I have one leaf that is bad I snap the whole branch off cleanly from the stem and it grows back like twice as nice. 😊 That’s just what I’ve found for mine and I’ve had it for about 5 years now.

Your right on target I found that out with my bamboo plants 🌱 the arch was beautiful but my plant suffered until I cut it free🪴🪴💕💕
