| I've searched the internet for what may be wrong with my tree but im not finding anything that seems to be the issue.
All the leaves are droopy (even the new ones.)
There isn't any mold in the soil.
I changed the location so it has more sunlight now and cut back on watering it so much, and the only thing thats improved is losing leaves... but there is obviously something still wrong. So I am looking for advice! Please help! |

| Nice plant, Cassidy! Something definitely took a bite. First pic looks like foliage is drooping from lack of moisture.... Perhaps the plant is suffering, rather, from inconsistent moisture/watering? I would wipe down the affected leaves with a mix of water and rubbing alcohol. Now comes the real interrogation! Josh |

| Although there are many Threads on the topic of browning/yellowing Pachira, I think this one might be of some use - for the pics alone, at least. Josh |

| Thanks for the compliment!! I cant remember the soil I last potted it with, but it acts fast draining. Maybe because I live in Colorado its going through both overwatering and lack of moisture. So I think I will try cutting back the water in the soil and start misting it more often, see if I start seeing improvement. If I don't I will try repotting it. Thanks for your advice and suggestions. Any idea about the black dots? |

| I wouldn't mist the plant. I'm not sure what the black dots are. Josh |

| Its not sticky at all, and why wouldn't you mist it? |

| Hi Cassidi, Your money tree is quite impressive, especially with you living in a dry climate like Colorado. Drooping leaves can sometimes be attributed to a root bound plant, meaning that the roots are choking each other and making it hard for the plant to get the air and water it needs. When was the last time you repotted your money tree? |

| I don't mist for two reasons: First, it doesn't help; and, second, it can cause harm. Misting won't actually provide moisture; but it can potentially lead to bacterial and fungal problems. To increase overall humidity, a pebble-tray is the safer, more commonly recommended route. Browned leaf-tips usually indicate that the root-tips are dead or dying. Josh |
