Money Tree Care Made Easy
Water your Money Tree when the top 3–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil feels dry.
Use the finger test — if the soil feels dry at that depth, it’s time to water.
During the growing season (October to May), watering is typically needed every 10–14 days.
In winter, reduce to every 2–3 weeks, depending on indoor humidity.
Avoid overwatering, which may lead to root rot — a common issue with this plant.
Always use a pot with drainage holes and allow excess water to drain fully after each watering.
Money Tree prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower-light settings over time.
Ideal: Near a north- or east-facing window, or a bright room with filtered sunlight.
Tolerates: Medium to low light, though growth may slow and leaves may stretch.
Avoid: Direct sunlight, especially harsh afternoon rays, which can scorch the leaves.
Tip: Rotate the plant every few weeks to encourage even growth and upright posture.
Feed your Money Tree every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (October to May).
Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength to avoid overfeeding.
Skip fertilizing during winter dormancy when the plant’s growth slows.

Always ensure the pot has good drainage and let excess water drain completely.
Toxicity
Money trees are non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them a safe and pet-friendly houseplant. While not harmful, discourage pets from chewing the fronds to keep the plant looking healthy and lush.

Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength.
No feeding is needed in winter.
Occasionally flush the soil to prevent salt buildup.
Additional Tips
- Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them glossy.
- Pests: Watch for spider mites or scale — treat early with neem oil if needed.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining soil mix.
- Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity — mist occasionally or place near a humidifier.
