Put the Money Tree in the right spot, and its leaves will be deep green and glossy, without turning yellow

The Money Tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) likes light but also tolerates shade, so many people grow it in both bright and shady spots, and it does well either way. It is not advisable to keep the Money Tree for a long time in a place with poor light and poor ventilation; once you water it a bit too much, the roots will very easily rot. Grown outdoors, if the light is too strong, especially in summer, it will very easily scorch the tender leaves. So where should the Money Tree be placed for growing?

Where should the Money Tree be placed for growing?

(1). Place the Money Tree on a south-facing balcony or windowsill. The light is bright, it can receive plenty of light in winter, and it will not be exposed to scorching sun in summer. The Money Tree will not develop leggy branches, scorched leaves or yellowing, which is good for its healthy, vigorous growth.

(2). In winter, besides placing it in a spot with plenty of light, you need to keep the environment warm, with the temperature above 10°C, to ensure the Money Tree survives the winter safely. Otherwise, if the temperature drops below 5°C, it will very easily suffer frost damage or freeze to death.

(3). In summer, when temperatures are high and above 35°C, be sure to place it somewhere with good ventilation, and take shade measures, frequently spraying water around it to lower the temperature and maintain a certain level of air humidity. Especially around midday in summer, the light during those 5~6 hours is very intense and can easily scorch the newly sprouted tender leaves.
