Money Tree Care

Money tree care instructions couldn’t be easier. This is the perfect plant for a beginner.

It can be grown indoors.  It can also be grown outside in some of the warmer regions as long as it doesn’t sit through a hard frost. Here are some basic money tree care instructions:

  • The plant requires plenty of sunlight.  However, be careful not to let it get too hot during the hot summer months. If you have it sitting near a hot window, move it away after a couple of hours.
  • Water your plant and let it dry between waterings.  If the leaves curl, you are watering too much.  If the leaves become dry, you are not watering enough. Water it as soon as the soil is dry to the touch. Do not wait too long or the plant will die.
  • The money tree needs moist, frost-free conditions to grow.
  • When you first get home with your plant, it may go through a period of adjustment where it does not look so good. Do not give up on it. Care for it as though it is thriving.
  • When it comes to soil, this plant can be picky. See Money Tree Soil

  • It can be grown outside if you live in USDA zone 9-16.
