I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN GIVEN A FAIR SIZED PLANT WHICH I ONLY KNOW AS A 'MONEY PLANT'. IT HAS QUITE THICK WOODY STEMS , SOME OF WHICH HANG BEYOND THE POT TRAILING ONTO THE FLOOR. IT SEEMS A GOOD SIZED POT FOR THE SIZE OF THE PLANT . THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE LOWER LEAF DROP EVERY DAY .ALTHOUGH THERE IS ABUNDENT FRESH LEAF GROWTH EVERYWHERE ON THE PLANT. NOT SURE WHATS HAPPENING HERE . PLEASE ADVISE

Sounds as if its just normal leaf loss, but if it is excessive, check the rootball, make sure you're not over watering - if you mean the money tree I know, it has fleshy, succulent leaves, and therefore doesn't require tons of water. Its a Crassula - if that's not what you mean, a photo would help.
