Money trees also naturally shed older leaves as new leaves develop, which is a normal part of the growth cycle.

If the leaves of the money tree are accidentally ripped or damaged, the plant can still produce new leaves although the damaged leaves themselves won't grow back but new ones will

It can take 2 to 3 weeks for the money tree to grow back lost leaves.

To remove dead leaves from a money tree, take some clean and sharp pruning shears or clean and sharp scissors and cut off any yellow leaves or brown leaves near the base of the money tree.
