• Light Needs: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate direct sunlight in moderation. Avoid extended periods of harsh, direct light, as it may scorch its leaves.
• Watering Needs: Loves lots of water but with good drainage. Water thoroughly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Be cautious of overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
• Humidity Needs: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. If your indoor environment is dry, mist the leaves or place the plant near a humidifier to keep it happy.
• Temperature Needs: Prefers warm temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F, as it’s sensitive to the cold.
• Difficulty to Take Care Of: Easy. This hardy plant is forgiving and adaptable, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced plant parents.
• Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for any household.

The Money Tree is more than just a plant—it’s a symbol of positivity, prosperity, and good vibes. Its hardy nature and elegant appearance make it an excellent housewarming gift or a stunning addition to your own indoor space.
