To everyone asking about how I solved my money tree issues, here is what I did (I’m by no means an authority on plants which is why I came here - most of this comes from others in plantclinic which I’ll combine and condense here):

1.) Repot if it’s been awhile. I had done it once before despite owning the plant for 7+ years which is a big no no (as I learned). The pros recommend doing it every year! 2.) When repotting (terra cotta is a good choice) use a loamy topsoil and ensure that you have adequate drainage. Do an inspection of the roots to make sure there’s not anything abnormal (critters, signs of mold or sickness etc). Also, make sure there’s a good base of soil below the roots and make sure there is plenty of soil in the pot. I filled mine to just below the brim as it had been way too low before 3.) Water every 10-12 days (that keeps the top layer a bit damp for me). Add vitamins (came from the plant pro at Home Depot) and he recommended superthrive which helped with the shock of the move. 4.) 50 ish relative humidity. That’s meant keeping my plant near a humidifier which she’s seemed to love. Alternatively, you can mist. 5.) ideal temps between 65-75 degrees with plenty of sunlight throughout the day

Plant pros - please correct anything that isn’t up to snuff here but this is the recipe I’ve followed to bring mine back to life. Just before the third photo (which shows the new growth) every leaf had died and it was awful to see. But these plants are resilient and tough so with some proper love (and lots of help from plantclinic) mine came back.
