It is water fed. Not dirt. I am going to try cutting the roots - they appear to be rusty/rotting. I going to take it completely apart and clean the dish very good - will place plant in another container - temporarily. Thanks for you quick response. What we would do with the internet.

If you send me a photo I might have a better grasp on what is wrong with the plant and whether it is a money tree plant or a lucky bamboo. Is this plant in water or soil? If it is Pachira aquatica it should be planted in soil usually as a bonsai plant. Pachira aquatica requires a very moist soil but it also needs to drain excess soil. So it doesn't need to set in water which will cause some of the problems you are seeing. Make sure the plant get bright indirect light and has a humid environment. Also, make sure that the container has a drain hole and is properly draining. Keep the soil moist but don't let it dry out between waterings. If you have lucky bamboo read <a href="http://www.flowershopnetwork.com/blog/flower-plant-care/plant-care/caring-for-lucky-bamboo-dracaena-sanderiana" rel="nofollow">Caring For Lucky Bamboo</a>. It has information about what causes problems with lucky bamboo and how to take care of it. Please let me know if any of this information is helpful or if you need further instructions on how to care for your plant. Becky,
