Money Plant Care Guide

Sunlight Requirements

Money plants thrive in *indirect sunlight*. Place them near a window that receives filtered light. Direct harsh sunlight can burn the leaves, causing them to turn yellow.

*Best spots:* Near east or north-facing windows

*Avoid:* Direct afternoon sun

*Can tolerate:* Low light conditions (growth will be slower)

Watering Schedule

Water your money plant *once every 5-7 days* in summer

In winter, reduce to *once every 10-14 days*

Always check if the top inch of soil is dry before watering

Overwatering causes root rot — the most common mistake

Soil and Pot

Use well-draining potting mix with perlite

Ensure the pot has *drainage holes*

Money plants do well in both soil and water

Repot every 12-18 months when roots outgrow the pot

Fertilizing

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during growing season (spring and summer)

Skip fertilizing in winter when growth slows down

Avoid over-fertilizing — it causes salt buildup

Common Problems and Solutions

Yellow Leaves

Usually caused by overwatering or direct sunlight. Reduce watering frequency and move to a shadier spot.

Brown Leaf Tips

This indicates low humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or place a tray of water near the plant.

Leggy Growth

Your plant needs more light. Move it to a brighter location with indirect sunlight.

How to Propagate Money Plant

Cut a 6-inch stem just below a node (the small bump on the stem)

Place the cutting in water, ensuring at least one node is submerged

Change water every 3-4 days

Roots will appear in 7-14 days

Once roots are 2-3 inches long, transfer to soil
