I recently inherited a money tree plant that is about 10 years old. It seems to be healthy and thriving but was not braided. There are 4 stems from the soil and they are growing straight up. I’m curious to know if I can somehow cut the plant back down and train it into a braid?

I know nothing about gardening, I want to know if i need to fertlize my plants, how do I fertlize my plants and what type of fertilizer to use.
I have a Braided Money Tree, Aloe Vera Plant, and a Calla Lilly Plant. Any information would be helpful, I love my plants and I always have bad luck!

I have a braided money tree that stands about 2 ft tall. It was perfectly fine when I bought it two weeks ago. Now the leaves are all turning yellow and sagging. I could be watering too much, I don’t let the dirt dry out too much. If anyone has any experience, please tell me what I can do to revive it as well as a good plan to care for it (fertilizer, watering schedule, etc). Thanks.

I keep hearing about keeping the soil of my money tree dry by not watering it too often, but how dry is too dry? I bought it at a store that watered everything the exact same way, so there’s no way that it was payed attention to like it should have been. This is especially true because it was the one and only money tree plant they had.

When i bought the plant, I got a pot and bought all purpose potting soil to fill it in (it was quite a bit bigger than the temporary pot). I was worried about the roots and thought watering it once to keep everything uniform couldn’t hurt even if watering it too much was a concern.

I’ve heard bone dry soil and then I’ve heard once a week. My problem is the soil, after more than a week, is still moist… and nowhere near dry.

My question mainly is should I water it once a week like I’ve heard? Should I let the soil dry more before I water it? Or what should I do?

Also, how much sunlight should it get? I’ve heard almost no direct sunlight for younger plants, but i’m not sure how old mine is accept that it’s about 2 feet tall (the stem being only about a foot tall)

Some of the lower leaves are seeming to wilt. I’ve heard this is normal. But all of the leaves are getting yellow around the veins. And I’ve heard that this can be caused by too much watering, too little watering, and too much sunlight. I have NO IDEA which!

Please help! (second time posting the question, hoping someone knows what I’m talking about!)

I received a money tree as a gift less then a year ago and I have noticed that the dirt is slowly lowering in the pot that it is in. I am a terrible green thumb and this is the only plant that has stuck with me and I would really love to keep it around for awhile. Do I just add more soil to the pot or should I repot?
The money tree has a braided trunk.

We bought this tree and I think it’s like a Chinese tree that is supposte to bring you good luck with money. It is kind of like braided…and if the tree dies that means ur not having any good luck with money. Does anybody have any idea?? Anyone who is Chinese that might know?

Jo asked:


My braided money tree lost all of its leaves and the trunk is very brittle and dry. I’m not sure if I killed it but would like to know any ideas for salvaging what is left. There is one single green leaf on the side. Can I plant that in some soil? Would the roots grow back?
