Plant Care Essentials

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

• Water: Allow the soil to dry completely before watering thoroughly. Ensure excess water drains completely. Money Trees dislike sitting in soggy soil.

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–60% or higher) but can adapt to typical indoor environments.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix containing ingredients such as perlite, orchid bark, and quality potting soil.

• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts, air-conditioning vents, and sudden temperature changes.

• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer during spring and summer to encourage healthy foliage and growth.

• Maintenance: Rotate periodically for even growth, gently wipe leaves to remove dust, and prune as needed to maintain its shape.

🐾 Toxicity Information

The Money Tree is generally considered non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making it a great choice for pet-friendly households.

However, chewing or consuming large amounts of any plant material may cause mild digestive discomfort, including vomiting or diarrhea. It's always best to discourage pets and small children from eating houseplants.

Buds & Co. Plant Parent Tip

The secret to a happy Money Tree is finding the right balance between light and water! Although this tropical beauty enjoys moisture, overwatering is one of the most common causes of problems.

Don't water by the calendar—water according to what your plant needs! Check the soil before watering, and remember that your Money Tree may need less water during cooler months.

One more thing! Many braided Money Trees are sold with ties or bands around their trunks or roots. Check periodically and carefully remove any restrictive bands to prevent damage as the plant grows.
