The money tree gets its name because its leaves are like strings of coins. Native to Africa, the plant is as high as 50-80 cm. It is a popular indoor foliage plant. It is suitable for display in living room, study and office. Money tree is an indoor foliage plant, which can purify the air. Its newly extracted pinnate compound leaves are almost always two, one long and one short, one thick and one thin, so it is also known as "dragon and Phoenix wood", and symbolizes wealth, splendor and wealth.

The soil of the tree should not only be loose and fertile, with good drainage, but also rich in organic matter, and it is best to be acidic or slightly acidic. When selecting soil, we can choose coarse sand, peat, washed cinder and a small amount of garden soil, and adjust its PH value between 6 and 6.5 to make it in a state of micro-acidity. The tree is light-loving and shady, so it is not suitable to grow in strong light. It is best to put it in a place with a shelter next to the window, so that it can fully come into contact with the sun and avoid leaf burns caused by exposure. Its shielding effect is best up to 60%, and excessive darkness will lead to yellowing of leaves.

The best culture temperature is 20-32 °C. When the summer temperature is high, you need to move into the shade and spray water on the leaves of the plant to lower the temperature. The money tree has a good drought resistance, so it is best to keep the basin soil slightly wet and dry, and reduce watering or spray water instead of watering after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so as to help the new extraction of tender leaves. In winter, we should pay attention to spraying water to the leaf surface and the surrounding environment, so that the relative air humidity reaches more than 50%. When the temperature is above 34 °C, it should be watered once a day and as little as possible in autumn and winter. Spraying plant leaves can be used instead of watering.

The tree likes fertilizer and can be fertilized twice a month during its growing season. The most convenient fertilization option is to buy fertilizer specifically for the tree, which is sold in the flower market and the price is not expensive.

In order to keep beautiful, the money tree should be pruned and reshaped frequently. How to prune can be determined according to the shape of bonsai trees, usually can be trimmed into a natural state, the branches will be trimmed into clouds. It can also be trimmed into branches with slightly higher middle height, different sizes and outer contours such as melon seeds, which have high ornamental value.
