How do I fertilize Money Tree Plants?
We recommend fertilizing your plant during the spring and summer growing months. Any all purpose, fertilizer will work for Money Tree Plants. Indoor houseplant fertilizers fall into two groups: water soluble, liquid quick release, and granular, slow release fertilizers. Jack's Classic Indoor plant food works well as a powder, quick release fertilizer that is mixed with water to quickly provide nutrients to a plant that has been in a container for an extended time.

Money Tree Plants prefer low, fluorescent light to some bright, indirect light. Due to its tropical nature, it enjoys moderate to high humidity. Avoid placing your Money Tree in direct sunlight which results in leaf-scorching. While this plant grows well in low-light, cool drafty air and hot dry air will lead to leaf loss.

To repel pests, we recommend adding neem oil to the soil.
