Rescued a money tree from work awhile ago I’m just getting into taking care of houseplants now that i have my own place and definitely don’t know what I’m doing.
I repotted it a while ago and got rid of a lot of the dead leaves and most of the leaves that had spotting/were limp. I water it only when the soil is really dried out, the pot has drainage though i do feel like it’s a bit large gonna try and find one slightly smaller. Light wise, my flat doesnt have the best light and our heating is poor which i think the cold is making her go limp a lil, i do have her in the sunniest spot with plenty of indirect light. I use a generic houseplant myst and also mist her with tap water every couple of days.
Just want some advice so i can get her to thrive, some of the leaves still have a couple of spots and are limp but I didn’t wanna take too much off. Will those leaves hanging limp ever pick up they look fine or do i just take them off? Any suggestions welcome, thank you!

Honestly, just give it some time. Plants go into shock after a big move, no matter what you do. (After a recent move it too 4-6 months for some of my plants to recover fully.)
She’s growing new leaves, which is a good sign, and you’re doing the right things! I’d think of this time less as crisis-intervention but as stability. Just let the plant adjust and keep things as consistent and normal as you can and she’ll be fine!
