Pro Tip
Rotate your Money Tree regularly to encourage even growth and prevent it from leaning toward the light. For a bushier appearance, pinch back new growth occasionally.
-
Light and Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light but grows best when it receives steady, filtered light throughout the day. Avoid harsh direct sun, which may cause leaf burn, and low-light corners, which may lead to sparse growth.
-
Watering and Care
Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry. The Money Tree prefers a consistent routine and well-draining soil. It can tolerate some missed waterings but is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure the pot drains freely and never sits in water.
-
Growth and Size
Typically reaches 2 to 4 feet tall indoors, though it can grow taller over time. Its growth habit is upright and bushy, and it can be trimmed to maintain a compact shape.
-
Pet-Friendly?
Money Tree is considered non-toxic and generally safe around pets. However, it’s still best to discourage chewing to avoid any potential irritation.
-
Benefits and Air Quality
Helps filter indoor air and reduce stress in indoor environments. Its lush, leafy growth makes it ideal for bringing a calming, natural feel to busy spaces.

Difficulty level
