One sick Money Tree (Out of four??)

I have four Money Trees in plastic drainage style pots on my apt's windowsill. All get equal amounts of light, water, and plant food. Three of these are thriving, are bursting with healthy foliage, but one is sickly drooping. ~Why? I've tried moving their positions on the windowsill, but to no avail...

Check the roots to see if there is a problem there.

OK thanks for that suggestion... I pulled Ms Money Tree out of her pot and discovered the potting soil had mostly compacted very firmly and was now blocking the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot, ~The poor thing was constipated! :cry: So I repotted it with gravel and a little sandy Bonsai type soil as a bottom layer and also trimmed some dead leaves. -Maybe just my imagination, but I swear, after I put her back onna windowsill she looked relieved!! 8)
