    Separate the seeds from the pod if not done already. When the seeds seem dry, 2-3 weeks, put them in a glass jar and keep them in a cool, dry place. Another drying method is to hang the flower spikes upside down for 2-3 weeks and then separate the seed. Lunaria self-sows in Michigan so the seed is hardy. When saving the seed indoors, sow outdoors in late spring and cover with a thin layer of light soil.

    They are quite susceptible to transplant shock, and any disturbance to the root can make it look pretty bad for a little bit.

    Proper care will be the only solution, as there is not much you can do for transplant shock in small plants.

    This article will help you to care for it properly:

    I notice you are using cache pots. When you water, do you remove the interior container and allow the excess water to drain before returning to the outside container? If not, your plants may be sitting in water, which can lead to root rot. I would check on that as well as how often you are watering. The money tree needs specific care, including humidity. Check the care articles below and compare those with your plant's care. Also, the browning leaves can be removed. If more than 1/3 of the leaves are affected, gradually remove the leaves so as not to shock it.

    it looks like it isn't getting water so I would focus on the soil. Is the pot rootbound? Has the soil been refreshed in the last couple of years? If not, I suggest changing the soil or repotting up one size. It also wouldn't hurt to prune it a bit.

    When rooting cuttings in water, you can replace the water every couple of days. If the stem still seems healthy above the part that is rotting, you can cut off the damaged area. If not, remove and discard the whole cutting.

    Also, make sure none of the leaves are below the water line. Those will foul the water.
