    Care Guide for Braided Money Tree

     

    Light

     

    Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some low light.

     

    Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

     

    If grown in low light, rotate regularly to ensure even growth.

     

     

    Watering

     

    Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry.

     

    Prefers deep watering but ensure excess water drains out completely.

     

    Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot—it’s one of the most common issues.

     

    Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

     

     

    Soil

     

    Well-draining, peat-based potting mix with perlite or sand.

     

    Avoid dense soils that retain too much moisture.

     

     

    Temperature & Humidity

     

    Ideal temperature: 18–27°C (65–80°F).

     

    Prefers moderate to high humidity—mist occasionally if the air is dry.

     

    Avoid placing near heating vents or cold drafts.

     

     

    Fertilizing

     

    Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring & summer).

     

    No need to fertilize in fall and winter.

     

     

    Pruning & Maintenance

     

    Trim yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.

     

    If the tree becomes too tall or leggy, prune the top to maintain shape.

     

     

    Propagation

     

    Can be propagated from stem cuttings, but success rates are low.

     

    Most Money Trees are grown from seeds or purchased as mature plants.

     

     

    Common Issues

     

    Yellowing leaves → Overwatering or poor drainage.

     

    Drooping leaves → Underwatering, overwatering, or sudden environmental changes.

     

    Leaf browning/crisping → Low humidity or exposure to direct sunlight.

     

     

    Pet Safety

     

    Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a great pet-friendly houseplant!
