i don't know how to take care of my money tree? someone help!?

Answer 1

Hi Lily,
I just purchased a large braided money tree that is about 4ft tall and I wasn't certain how to care for it properly either, but I found out that it's not that difficult and it's like any other house plant. Here is a paragraph from an article I found on how to care for a Money tree:

"Care Instructions

The braided money tree plant, known as Pachira aquatica, is indeed one of the easiest houseplants to take care of. It grows well in low-light conditions, and makes a perfect gift for office space. If you forget to water it for a few days, no problem.

The trees are typically grown as ornamental plants; when you receive them, they will be about 5 years old (one to two feet in height). Properly cared for and repotted every few years, they can grow to upwards of 7 feet.

Plants do best with indirect sunlight. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. If leaves start "crinkling", it means the plant is being under-watered; when they turn soft and yellow, it means it is being over-watered.

Some people prefer to keep the trees braided; others separate the braids and grow them as individual trees. Either way, these trees will definitely provide enjoyment for years to come (and who knows, maybe even riches!)"

Hope this helps.
Good luck

Money trees really don't live very long. Therefore, pick all of the "fruit", but make sure you set some aside to start a new crop. Or, hire me as your gardener and your worries will be over quick time! Money trees have roots of all evil.
