I'm not sure whats going on, but my Money Tree has a few leaves that are browning at the tips (Pic attached). It is not all of the leaves and the leaves that are brown are all on the same stem??? What's wrong?

Another issue is that the leaves have light spots on them. Some of them look like a lime green/yellowish color and others are brown like small cigarette burns...Is this normal?

Finally...Some of the leaves look like they have a small piece missing...I don't know what could be causing this because it seems like even the new leaves that are growing in have this issue.

This is my routine: I water about once a week sometimes less because I read that these plants can withstand dry periods and do really well. I am using a smart release fertilizer (Osmocote 19-6-12) that I added to the soil about 3-4 weeks ago. There are about 3 new stems that have recently grown and sprouted leaves and I can see other stems starting to poke out...I'm so confused. Last week there was one tiny stem with little leaves sprouting out, but it shriveled up and fell off. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. HELP!!!
