I've noticed lately that the upper leaves of my money tree are shriveling at the tips and curling downwards. The tree looks otherwise healthy and is still sprouting new leaves. I water it once a week, giving it about 2 liters each time, and the soil seems to hold moisture well. I don't think I'm overwatering since the leaves and trunk feel solid and not mushy. Could this issue be due to insufficient water, or is there something else going on? I'd really appreciate any insights!

Shriveling leaves often aren't just about lack of water. Older leaves, like those at the top of your tree, can shrivel as they age. Instead of just focusing on moisture, check for any brown tips or areas—that's usually a better indicator of dehydration. And don’t forget humidity; it can really affect your plant’s leaves too!
That makes sense! The leaves did drop off later, and the older ones shriveled too. Humidity could definitely be a factor. Do you have any tips to check the humidity levels? Can misting the leaves help without a humidifier?
