Another 'why is this house plant doing this' question!

I have had this money plant for a while. It sits on the end of a cabinet some way from three bay windows but obviously the room is bright and there is direct sunlight. Should the bottom leaves look more green? A couple have fallen off. There are lots of small green leaves within. Am I killing it? Does it need overpotting?

Have you fed it?

The older bigger leaves are going to die at some point so maybe they've just reached the end.

It does look a bit cramped in that pot, and I think the smaller leaves at the bottom belong to some baby plants that can be individually potted up for new plants. Are the roots coming out of the bottom of the pot?

Interested in this thread?

I've had one of these on the go since 1983 and it's normal for the older leaves to yellow and drop. Give it a feed and re-pot in spring and it'll be fine. Also, keep it out of direct sunlight and it'll be happier.

Probably needs reporting, maybe split into 2 pots then hey presto you have 2 plants 😀
