😦 I’ve had my Chinese Money Plant for a few months-- water it once per week or until the soil is dry. I feel like the leaves just fall off. It had two little baby sprouts that seem to have been like, “nope.” Now I’m down to this. I keep her in a well lit room, but not in direct sunlight. A neighbor suggested I put it out on my (covered) porch, but every guide I’ve read says to keep it indoors. Does it look healthy? Do I just need to be patient?
My understanding is if the pot is too big:
The plant will put more effort into growing roots, rather than leaf growth for producing energy for growing the roots.
Water retention can become an issue, leading to root rot. A smaller container helps ensure the substrate doesn’t become waterlogged.
…aaaaand now I’m going to rescue a couple of other plants (while they’re still doing okay). Thank you guys so, so much! I’ve already repotted the money plant. Fingers crossed that I can post good news in the coming months!
