I have a money tree that I've grown from a 12 inch IKEA runt to a 4 foot tall beauty!...
Trouble started this winter- it was especially humid (I live on the coast in northern Cali) and I had her in less light than she's used to, and I think I was overwatering. Since then I've re-potted (her roots were lookin pretty sad), and I've been watering more conservatively. I also moved her to a spot with more indirect light, and used fertilizer spikes about 2 months ago.
She's still unhappy. She's sprouting lots of new leaves, but almost all of them end up looking blighted, malformed, or start to shrivel and become tissuey and weird at the tips and fall off. I just walked by her and brushed into her and two completely green pretty normal looking leaves fell off! It looks like there are some spider webs around her, and I've noticed more spider have been wanting to make homes in the pot near the base of the trunk... is that maybe because it's mites and the spiders are eating them? I found 1 tiny little bug but I couldn't tell if it was a baby spider or some kind of mite... (I'll include a picture of the tiny bug as it landed on my arm)
Please help!! This plant has been my friend for over 5 years, I want to save her...
Thank you in advance for all advice
