💡 Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Money Tree losing leaves?▼
Leaf drop is usually caused by sudden changes in environment -- especially cold drafts or underwatering. Keep it away from AC vents, doors, and windows in winter. Make sure you are watering when the top inch of soil is dry. It may also drop leaves after being moved.
How much light does a Money Tree need?▼
Money Trees prefer bright indirect light but adapt to medium light. Direct sun can burn the leaves. An east-facing window or a few feet back from a south/west window is ideal. They survive in lower light but growth slows.
Should I rotate my Money Tree?▼
Yes -- rotate it a quarter turn every few weeks to ensure even growth. Money Trees grow toward light, so regular rotation prevents lopsided leaning. This keeps the characteristic braided trunk growing evenly and the canopy balanced.
How often should I water a Money Tree?▼
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry -- typically once a week in summer and every 10-14 days in winter. Use room temperature water and ensure excellent drainage. Overwatering is the most common cause of Money Tree death -- when in doubt, wait another day.
