Money tree?

i bought a braided money tree and i love it

im just wondering if anyone els has one and could give me tips on how to braid it as it grows...



and when i look online it said some money trees come from wetlands and some from the dessert but the only way to tell is the flower and i will never bloom in a home .



what does your money tree like best the once a week watering or less?

thanks :)

Money tree?
I have a braided money tree and I water it once a week which seems to be just fine. However, I've noticed that it likes a fairly natural bright indirect light or the leaves will drop. The light should be bright enough for the tree to cast a shadow.

As for braiding as it grows, you shouldn't have too. Most likely the braided trunks have been topped off already and will not longer grow and will only send out branches.



Good Luck
Reply:1. Keep the soil/potting soil slightly dry. Too much water is not good for this plant.

2. If possible, add some river sand to the soil to help with the drainage.

3. Keep the tree in medium light. It can stand sunlight or shade if it has to, but for optimal growth, a bit of both is recommended.

4. Prune the large leaves if you would like a lot of new leaf growth. Of course, this is not really necessary unless you have inherited a tired looking tree.





Here are some links you can read up on your plant.
