Arbor Day Foundation Money Tree

Yes, it is an excellent choice for beginners. It is resilient and adaptable to various indoor lighting conditions, requiring only occasional watering once the top inch of soil feels dry.

The Money Tree prefers bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, it will grow more vigorously and maintain its lush appearance when placed near a sunny window that is filtered by a sheer curtain.

The braid is a permanent feature created as the plant grows and does not require any maintenance from you. Simply rotate the pot every few weeks to ensure all sides of the plant receive even light exposure, which helps keep the growth symmetrical.

Water thoroughly until liquid drains from the bottom of the pot, then allow the soil to dry out significantly before watering again. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.

While the Money Tree is adaptable, it still requires some light to survive. If your office has no windows, you will need to supplement with a full-spectrum LED grow light to keep the plant healthy.
