Know before you buy
No, the Money Tree is considered toxic to pets. It is best to place it in a location that your animals cannot access, such as a high shelf or a room they do not frequent.
While it is marketed as a low-light plant, it will grow best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but you may notice slower growth and less frequent leaf production.
This plant prefers to dry out between waterings. Typically, you should wait until the top two inches of soil feel dry to the touch before watering again, which usually results in a low-frequency watering schedule.
Yes, the plant arrives potted and ready to display. It is typically housed in a basket, though a ceramic container may be substituted depending on current inventory.
The braided trunk is a permanent design feature created when the stems were young and pliable. As the plant grows, the individual stems will thicken, but the braided pattern will remain set in its current form.
