You can apply bitter apple spray to the leaves of the money plant and see if this deters her from chewing on it. You can also use another product called Sentry Stop That. If these do not work, you can resort to a motion sensing toy and place it near the base of the plant and see if that deters her from going after the plant. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further!
