When caring for a money tree, you should place it in a spot indoors where sunlight can reach it, and make sure its leaves are exposed to sunlight. If the money tree does not receive sunlight for a long time, the plant will easily weaken in growth and its leaves will wilt.

In seasons with suitable temperatures, the money tree can be moved outdoors for full-sun care, and moved back indoors in summer and winter to avoid any adverse effects on the money tree's growth from harsh temperature conditions.

The money tree loves a warm and humid growing environment and has relatively high requirements for temperature and humidity. Therefore, in daily care, these two needs of the money tree must be met to promote healthy growth.

The most suitable growing temperature for the money tree is around 25 degrees. When the temperature is below 8 degrees, the leaves will suffer cold damage, turn yellow and fall off, and may even wither and die. Therefore, in winter, attention must be paid to cold protection, and when the temperature is too low, it should be moved back indoors for care.

Since the money tree relatively prefers a high-humidity environment, during daily care you can use a spray bottle to spray the money tree with clean water once every three days to increase the humidity of the surrounding environment and encourage more healthy and beautiful growth.

The money tree has strong drought tolerance and does not need a large amount of water. In daily care, the biggest taboo is watering too much and causing its root system to rot. Many people who kill their money trees make the mistake of watering too much.

Given that the money tree has a strong ability to adapt to moisture conditions, and even going about a week without watering will not adversely affect its growth, you should uphold the principle of not watering until dry, and preferring dry over wet, and simply water appropriately during care.

Generally speaking, watering once a week is enough. In summer, because leaf transpiration is relatively active, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased, watering about once every five days. Never water too much and cause root rot.

The money tree has a relatively high demand for fertilizer. Before transplanting, you can add about one quarter organic fertilizer soil to the growing medium. The soil can be made at home using fallen leaves, okara, coffee grounds, and so on, but be sure it is fully decomposed.

In order to meet the money tree's demand for nutrients during its growing period, from June to October each year, apply fully decomposed organic fertilizer about once every half month to speed up its growth.

Of course, in the process of caring for a money tree, repotting is an essential step. You can repot about once every two years to stimulate root growth and prevent the money tree's growth from stagnating.

The time for repotting can be chosen in March or April each year, or in August or September. Stop watering three days before repotting; dry soil is more conducive to the repotting process. When repotting, it is best to replace all the soil in the pot as well.

Also, if you want the money tree's appearance to look neater and more beautiful, you can use scissors in spring and summer each year to properly prune the money tree, cutting off branches and leaves that are weak in growth or that ruin the overall shape, so as to maintain an overall beautiful look.

One more point to note is that during daily care of the money tree, pay attention to its placement. Do not put the plant near air conditioner vents or next to a heater, to avoid causing adverse effects on the plant.
