How to find resources to take care of a Chinese Money Tree.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Money Tree
  • Computer with Internet connection
  1. Step 1

    Buy a Chinese Money tree plant from a gardening store or online retailer, and put it in a location with moderate sunlight.

  2. Step 2

    Water your money tree plant only every few days, until the soil is moist (not wet!)

  3. Step 3

    Do not unbraid the money tree plant, and do not hover/over-care for the plant. The key to these plants is minimal care--a place with moderate sunlight and minimal watering.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't overwater or over-sun!
