MONEY TREE
The larger versions often have braided trunks and they are thought to bring good luck and fortune.


WATER
Water your Money Tree when the top 5 to 10cm of soil is dry. They can be prone to root rot so if n doubt leave it a few more days.
LIGHT
Your Money Tree prefers bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as this will burn the leaves. Too little light and you will get slow and leggy growth.
FERTILISING
You can feed your Money Tree once a month during the spring and summer months.
SOIL
Money Trees grow best in a well draining soil mix. Visit our soil bar to add horticultural sand and perlite to a standard houseplant soil.
TEMPERATURE
Normal household temperatures will be fine as long as your Money Tree is away from cold drafts and not exposed to sudden temperature changes.
HUMIDITY
Your Money Tree will love an extra humidity boost. You can achieve this by placing the plant in a naturally more humid room such as a kitchen or bathroom, grouping plants together, using a pebble tray or investing in a humidifier.
TOXICITY
Money Trees are considered non toxic to humans and animals.
General Watering Tips
Place your plant, still in its plastic nursery pot, inside the decorative pot you've chosen. This setup allows the plant to enjoy the drainage and airflow provided by the nursery pot's holes, which are beneficial for root health.
When it’s time to water, you have two options:
1. Top Watering: Take the plant, nursery pot and all, out of the decorative pot and water it over a sink. Allow the water to drain completely before placing it back in the decorative pot to prevent water build up.
2. Bottom Watering: Place the nursery pot in a shallow dish of water and let the plant absorb moisture from the bottom. This method encourages the roots to grow downward and reduces the risk of overwatering.
Both methods help keep your plant healthy by promoting good drainage and root aeration.
