My boss got a money tree from the company as a gift and it has since gone neglected since he’s needed to be out of the office for a while. It’s really dried out now but still one green leaf intact.
I repotted it with new soil 4 days ago and gave it water, is there a better way to revive this? Any suggestions welcome, thanks!

did you make sure there was no binding on the roots? also, the roots were alive yes? healthy roots look white or light colored, no browns or blacks. if the roots are toast, the plant may be too
Looks rotten 🙁
So I just dealt with something similar. It turns out most of the money trees you buy from stores have rubber bands around the roots to keep them together, but if left on too long, kill the roots. I would check for that first, but it looks like some of the trunks might be dead already. Try to squeeze the trunks to see if they feel hollow or full, I’ve heard you can cut out dry growth if the whole trunk isn’t dried but with mine it was too late for all but one. Now I have a little Charlie brown Christmas tree of a money tree, but I refuse to give up on it haha
