    Hey guys .

    I've had a money tree for almost 5 years now. It started off with 5 braids and now it appears to only have one left. the problem is this braid is extremely skinny and tall. About 2 feet. There are only 5 medium sized leaves on it. It doesn't seem there is much I can do with it anymore. I understand the other braids are gone, but is there anything I can do with this one? Is there anything I can do to make more branches and more leaves? Maybe make it a bit thicker? It so skinny is keeps falling over and bending. Also there were two other braids that had a couple leaves on them up until recently. Is there a chance they are just dormant for the winter. Or are they just dead? I am a 25 year old college student that knows absolutely nothing about plants. Thing is i've had this plant for so long I hate to see it go. Attached you will find a pic of it.

    thank you all so much.

    Jay

    You could put it next to a window were there's much more light.
