Check soil moisture

Always check the top 1-2 inches of soil for dryness before watering. The soil should be slightly dry before you add water.

Water thoroughly

Water until it flows out of the drainage holes to ensure the roots receive enough moisture.

Avoid overwatering

Money trees are prone to root rot, so let the soil dry out between waterings.

Water frequency

Water your money tree every 7-10 days, depending on the environment's temperature and humidity.

Use room-temperature water

Cold water can shock the plant, so always use water that is at room temperature.

Ensure proper drainage

Never let your money tree sit in water. Ensure that the pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogging.

Adjust for seasons

During winter, the money tree may require less water due to slower growth, so adjust watering frequency accordingly.
