Money Tree: Your Lucky Charm in a Pot
The Money Tree is a tranquil plant with lush green foliage and a distinctive braided trunk, offering a sanctuary amidst chaos. It requires minimal maintenance and survives with little attention, easily fitting into any busy schedule.
Adds vibrant greenery to any space
Unique twisted trunk creates visual interest
Improves indoor air quality
Symbolizes wealth and good fortune
The Money Tree is mostly known for its braided trunk. The braiding is achieved by intertwining multiple young Money Tree stems together as they grow. The result is a visually striking plant that adds an exotic charm to any space. The braiding process is a labor-intensive art form, making each Money Tree one-of-a-kind. As the plant matures, the trunks fuse together, creating a sturdy and resilient base that supports the plant’s lush foliage.
Rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, the Money Tree holds a special place in Feng Shui. Believed to attract wealth and prosperity, this plant is often strategically placed in homes and businesses to enhance positive energy flow.
The number of leaves on each Money Tree branch is also considered significant, with seven leaves being particularly auspicious. Whether you’re a devout follower of Feng Shui or simply appreciate the symbolism, the Money Tree can bring a sense of harmony and abundance to your environment.
Money Tree Planting Distance
How to Plant Money Tree
Choose the Right Spot
For optimal growth, provide your Money Tree with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the leaves. Well-draining soil is crucial to prevent root rot. Use a potting mix specifically formulated for indoor plants.
Measure the Space
Mature Money Trees grown indoors typically reach 6-8 feet tall with a spread of 2-4 feet. When planting multiple Money Trees, allow 4 feet of space between each plant for proper growth and air circulation.
Dig the Hole
Since Money Trees are typically sold in pots, there’s no need to dig a hole. Choose a pot that’s slightly larger than the root ball of your Money Tree to allow for some future growth.
Plant It
Carefully remove your Money Tree from its current pot and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the plant in the new pot, ensuring the root ball sits level with the top of the potting mix. Fill the remaining space with fresh potting mix and tamp gently to eliminate air pockets.
Water Thoroughly
Water your newly planted Money Tree deeply, soaking the soil until water runs freely out the drainage holes. Proper drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Mulch and Care
While mulching isn’t necessary for Money Trees, you can add a thin layer of pebbles around the base of the plant to help retain moisture. Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can be detrimental to the plant’s health.
Why Choose Money Tree?
The Money Tree is a symbol of prosperity and tranquility that can transform your home into a haven of tranquility. Its vibrant leaves rustle, washing away daily stress and promoting conversation about exotic destinations and ancient traditions.
It also functions as a natural air purifier, eliminating toxins and pollutants, providing fresh air. It’s the perfect low-maintenance companion for busy individuals, adding elegance and life to any room.
Location
Place your Money Tree in a spot with bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight which can burn the leaves.
Watering
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering thoroughly, ensuring proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Potting Mix
Use a well-draining potting mix specifically designed for indoor plants, providing optimal growing conditions for your Money Tree.
Temperature and Humidity
Maintain a warm, humid environment for your Money Tree, mimicking its tropical origins.
Fertilizing
Feed your Money Tree with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to support healthy growth.
Pruning
Minimal pruning is required for Money Trees, but you can remove any yellowing or brown leaves to maintain its appearance.
When It Arrives
Give your Money Tree a thorough watering upon arrival to rehydrate the root ball after shipping.
During The First Year
Maintain consistent moisture levels during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
After the First Year
Reduce watering frequency in the fall and winter as the Money Tree enters a dormant period.
Extra Tips
Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogged soil.
When It Arrives
Allow your Money Tree to acclimate to its new environment for a month before fertilizing.
During The First Year
Begin fertilizing your Money Tree with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer).
After The First Year
Continue fertilizing your Money Tree monthly during the growing season, reducing frequency to every other month in fall and winter.
Extra Tips
Avoid fertilizing if the soil is overly wet or if the plant shows signs of over fertilization, such as brown leaf tips.
Tools You’ll Need
Gather clean, sharp pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent damage to your Money Tree.
Pruning Steps
Remove any dead, diseased, or yellowing leaves and branches, focusing on maintaining the plant’s shape and promoting new growth.
After Pruning Care
Monitor your Money Tree for signs of stress, providing adequate water and indirect sunlight to aid in recovery.
Extra Tips
Avoid heavy pruning, as Money Trees generally require minimal trimming. Consider pruning in the spring or early summer when the plant is actively growing.
How much light does a Money Tree need?
The Money Tree thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can burn the leaves. A well-lit spot near a window is ideal.
How often should I water my Money Tree?
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering thoroughly. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s important to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings.
Can I take my Money Tree outdoors?
While the Money Tree is primarily an indoor plant, you can move it outdoors during the warmer months when temperatures are consistently above 55°F. Acclimate the plant gradually to avoid shock.
How do I propagate a Money Tree?
Money Trees can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take a 4-6 inch cutting with at least two leaves, remove the lower leaves, and dip the cutting in rooting hormone. Plant the cutting in a pot with well-draining soil and keep it moist.
Why is my Money Tree losing leaves?
Several factors can cause leaf loss, including overwatering, underwatering, insufficient light, or pests. Inspect your plant for signs of pests and adjust your care routine accordingly.
How big does a Money Tree get?
Indoors, Money Trees typically grow to be 6-8 feet tall. However, their growth rate can be managed through pruning.
Is the Money Tree toxic to pets?
The Money Tree is generally considered non-toxic to pets, but it’s always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian if you have concerns about your specific pet.
How often should I fertilize my Money Tree?
Feed your Money Tree with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter.
What does it mean if my Money Tree’s trunk is leaning?
A leaning trunk often indicates that the plant is reaching for more light. Rotate the plant regularly to encourage upright growth. You can also provide additional support with a stake if needed.
