Chinese Money Tree Care Tips:

Light: Provide your Chinese Money Tree with bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its health and vibrant appearance. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it thrives in moderate to bright, indirect light.

Soil: Plant your Chinese Money Tree in well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, as it is susceptible to root rot. A mixture of potting soil and perlite works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes at the bottom.

Watering: Water your Chinese Money Tree thoroughly when the top half of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow excess water to drain away, and empty the saucer to prevent water accumulation.

Humidity: Chinese Money Trees prefer moderate humidity levels but can adapt to a variety of conditions. Regular misting or placing a humidity tray nearby can help increase humidity levels, especially in dry indoor environments.

Temperature: Maintain a warm environment for your Chinese Money Tree, with temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations, as it prefers stable conditions.

Fertilization: Feed your Chinese Money Tree with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization during the winter months when growth slows down.

Pruning: Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant's appearance. You can also prune to shape the tree or encourage bushier growth.
