The money tree or fat woman is one of the unpretentious plants. But there are a couple of nuances with it.

In particular, this plant may have reddened leaves. This is a bad sign, you can't let it happen. If the leaves have acquired an unhealthy color, you need to fix it immediately.

The money tree's homeland is Africa. But this succulent does not tolerate direct sunlight.

It is precisely under excessive exposure to sunlight that the edges of the leaves first begin to turn red, and then the entire surface.

In some cases, they begin to wrinkle and become lethargic.

This often happens when the plant has been in partial shade for a long time and then ends up on a southern windowsill in the middle of summer.

If the leaves turn red at the bottom, then the problem is weak watering.

The money tree, of course, tolerates drought better, but it also needs a certain amount of moisture.

If the leaves start to turn red, you should immediately move the plant to a less illuminated place.

You can also cover the window with transparent material for a while.

In addition, you need to water the fat woman a little more often.
