    I am loving this plant! Be sure to get one.

    Since your plants are barely growing, they don't need any fertilizer in the winter. Plant food is needed nutrients year round. Fertilizer is different nutrients but, not needed in the winter. If you have any questions about any plant please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my best to answer. :)

    I bought one a few months back its been on my porch in the shade all summer. I just give it a few ice cubes once a week and if I notice its looking a little droopy. Its been doing wonderful. Such easy care.

      I've cubes? Why ice cubes instead of water? Isn't that too cold for the plant?

    They will grow taller if you transplant in a bigger pot. I'm sure your knowledgeable on a sizing up a pot. Another trick add worm castings to the soil. I love Miracle Grow and Epsoma is a good organic fertilizer. That's a very nice money plant.

    Ya know I’ve read not to move them as well. However, I have been. Front porch to the back porch...all to keep it getting full sun. Checked it daily to make sure I wasn’t scorching. This thing has been flourishing and I feel like a breeze helps the roots take hold better. Remember, this is a tree and is used to wind and full sun from the tropics.

    When the shorts grow tall should you prune them and how do you continue it twisting as it grows?

      Rotation helps the bamboo to grow in the direction you need. This makes it easier to braid. Also, yes trim the top to keep it manageable.

    • @DonnaJoshi
      @DonnaJoshi  2 года назад

      Your money tree will grow best receiving bright indirect light to partial sunlight and in temperatures between 60°F and 85°F. Lower light is tolerated, but if too low the growth tends to become stretched and lanky. Temperatures down to 50°F and as high as 100°F are tolerated.
