Please help with sick money tree

[surfcast23]

Hello All,

New member here. I have had my money tree since 2012. At first he lived in my office then my apartment, then my girlfriends covered porch. In all environments he was doing really well. In the fall he was moved indoor in to a room that also housed a few reptiles and birds so the temperature was between 70 & 80 degrees. As time went on some of the leaves started yellow while others got brown and crinkly. I have moved him to my house because my girlfriend is afraid of killing him.
By no means have a green thumb so I am at a loss as to what the problem could be nor how to fix it. I would apricate any
help that can be offered. Thank you

How close to a window was it at your girlfriend’s house? They like very bright light, so that may be the issue.

Thank you for the reply. It was 2-3 feet from the window.

It wants to be closer. It will survive in lower light levels, but it will stretch and have fewer leaves.

Will move closer as the weather warms. Thank so much for your help!!

Hello! I own a money tree and actually had a similar problem with the leaves browning and yellowing a couple months ago. I read about it and found that it can be the cause of a bacteria. I do not believe that there is any product you can use to remove the bacteria. However, I just picked off the leaves that had been infected (ALL of the leaves infected) as google instructed me to do and I haven’t had a problem since.
