Money Tree

Brief Description

The Money Tree is a popular indoor plant known for its distinctive braided trunk (often created by growing multiple plants together) and large, palmate, glossy green leaves. Each leaf is composed of five to seven leaflets, resembling an open hand.

Care Instructions

Money trees prefer bright, indirect light. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry, and allow excess water to drain. They appreciate high humidity, so misting occasionally or placing them near a humidifier can be beneficial. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Repot every 2-3 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
