Good to Know
According to Feng Shui, the braided trunk is believed to "lock in" good fortune, while the five leaflets on each leaf are said to represent the five elements—wood, water, earth, fire and metal—bringing balance and harmony to a space.
🇨🇾 Cyprus Tip: The Money Tree grows well indoors in Cyprus. During the summer, keep it out of direct afternoon sun and check the soil regularly, as warm temperatures may cause it to dry out more quickly.

- Monitor for pests. Check your plants regularly for signs of disease and pests so that you can address any problems early on.
- Repot. Repot your plants every two to three years to ensure they have enough room to grow.
Here are some things to look for to determine if your plant needs attention:
- Wilting or drooping leaves: This could indicate that the plant is not getting enough water or is getting too much water. Make sure to check the soil moisture level and adjust your watering schedule accordingly.
- Yellowing leaves: Yellowing leaves can be a sign of many things, such as nutrient deficiencies or overwatering. Try to identify the cause of the yellowing and address it accordingly.
- Brown or dry leaves: Brown or dry leaves can indicate that the plant is not getting enough water, or it may be getting too much direct sunlight. Move the plant to a shadier spot or adjust your watering schedule if necessary.
- Stunted growth: If your plant is not growing as quickly as it should, it may be a sign of nutrient deficiencies or poor soil quality. Consider fertilizing the plant or repotting it with fresh soil.
