I got it from Walmart and it looked much healthier when I got it over a month ago, ever since it’s been loosing a lot of leaves and turning yellow/burning leaves.
I’ve been watering it once a week, when I first got it I was watering it like 2 – 3x per week. Not sure what am doing wrong, checked the roots and they look fine.
It gets around 4 hours of light.

4 hours is nowhere near enough light
Could be root bound
I’ve had a money tree for 10 years & it can be a fickle bitch at times. What I’ve noticed is that you can’t put it in direct sunlight or the leaves will burn. It needs indirect sunlight and a good amount throughout the day. I just moved to a new province & mine is having a fit due to much lower humidity & the placement in a new house. Lol. You’ll find your way.
I’ve had a money tree for a few years and its twice now lost all but like one leaf and bounced back just fine. Once from neglecting it entirely for multiple months and the latest from moving in the middle of winter (around new years). It looked pretty sad for a week while it only had one little leaf, but it’s filled out again already. As the other commenter said, they’re fickle bitches 🤷♀️
Watering once per week in the winter is too much I believe
