My money tree is 23 foot tall it's growing next to our hot tub . A neighbor moved out 20 years ago. And left it behind. It was about a foot tall then. Now I'm getting seeds🎉
I just got my first money tree from my mom for my bday! 2024 was a quite tragic year for me and I went through a major loss. I hope my tree “Patrick Swayze” can help bring some luck this year and be a long lasting member of my family. Thank you for this in-depth video 💕
Awww well I’m glad you’ve chosen a money tree to mark the start of a new chapter. I have so many different plants that remind me of certain points in my life
Devin Wallien, thank you for this very informative video on Pachira aquatic, the Money Tree. I've never seen such a huge Money Tree in person or in the plant expert channels. Quite amazing your tree is 25 years old! I think you are the real deal. Thank you so much!
Plz help me!! My daughter bought me my $ tree about 9-10 yrs ago. I've just let it grow w/o pruning & I've only repotted it probably twice. After watching your vid I think it's pot is way too big but I'm still confused on how much I should trim back
My wife and I purchased our money tree in 1996. And it's still with us 2025. It has three root balls on the bottom of it that are huge about the size of three baseballs I've kept it down to 7 ft we have it very nicely trimmed. We are so proud of our baby.
Hi Devin. You just saved my money tree. Putting it outside to dry out did the trick! It was overwatered, and now looks fabulous. Also your advice about needing to be pot bound before transplanting was well taken! Thanks, you really love plants.
I have had one for a year and this was extremely helpful! I don’t typically have much success at keeping plants alive so this is exciting to have it still living after a year! 🎉❤😊
Thank you for this video. You included a lot of great information about this beautiful plant. I bought a Roberta’s money tree from QVC last October. I love it!
Thank you for this informative video. Our Money Tree is over 5 years old, and we recently left it unattended for 5 days in a cold house. When we returned, it was clearly stressed, with some branches and leaves leaning excessively to one side. We increased the temperature and the amount of light, and it is improving. However, I’ve noticed that the trunks are not as thick as they should be for the size of the plant, so it needs some support for now. We are using sticks and strings attached to the ceiling for that support. Your video was a big help-thank you!
Thanks for the video! The tree in Chinese is called 发财树 （basically - Prosperity Tree). People like them because its good luck to help bring fortune/wealth. Guessing the Chinese began cultivating them first for this reason.
Great Content! I started care for this plant a year ago. I was over watering it and lost 3 of its trunks, it had soften and gotten mushy. I still have the remaining plant, though it has lost the amazing braid shape from when I first bought it. Its growing slowly and has gotten bigger in truck and leaf sizes since keeping on a 2 week watering schedule. Its still small so I soak it for 15 mins like a orchid and drain away the excess water. I need to repot into a bigger pot come spring and work on fertilizing it.
@plantvibrations Yes! I ordered them from Amazon the day you posted the video about them. I had them the next day and I hit a sale. 10-15% off. I got the single pot clip light which throws out alot of light and the 40 watt so 4 pronged light. Can't believe the difference in the light level. Thank you again!
I found this video in the nick of time. I had several plants I was going to up pot and I was more than likely going to transfer to a container that would be way too big! Thanks!
I just take home my first money tree plan. Like two monts ago. I always wan t to take care of this plant. So I want to see your video that I sow last year. That make me whant to have this plant even more. I like your video and your tips of biger trunk. That is new for me. I alwas love the nice foliage I didnt even notise nice trunk that I love...
My adult daughter just passed away as we were emptying out her house she had only a couple of plants her daughter took one I took the other I took the money plant but the leaves are yellowish with spots on them and some leaves are dropping you could understand I'm sure how important it is for me to keep this plant growing and alive thank you for any help
Im really sorry to hear about your loss :( what you are describing sounds like a foliar fungus, not very serious but can spread throughout the plant and is caused by irregular watering typically. My suggestion is to cut the plant back like I showed and place outside in a shady location once weather permits and it’ll flush out new growth and start a new chapter. Blessings to you
Big Hugs sent your way. I hope your money tree is doing better. My uncle just passed away and I inherited his pretty large money tree. Learning everything I can about them so I can keep his baby and memory alive 💜
I have a money tree growing between cement bricks and it is doing great, it is not that big in size about 6ft. But I am amazed that we never water it but it is still thriving.
Thanks for the info. I had one and it was thriving but then I transplanted it into a bigger pot and it lost most of it's leaves. I'm so sad. It's holding on for dear life.
I love all of your videos,u explain so well that I actually don't need to search for more,i also have a money tree and is doing very well,growing and growing new babies,now watching this video I saw u have a big and beautiful Pilea could u talk about this plant since I also have one but is small even though start having babies as well but want to grow it and make it beautiful as yours

So wait for summer? Only problem is, I live in Arizona where our summers are extremely hot. My money tree is very tall and leggy. I just wonder if I should prune mine all the way down now, during spring?
Hey, thank you for the straightforward video! Can you explain how you keep your plants from attracting bugs and infestations while being outdoors and preventing them from spreading it to the other plants when we bring it indoors? I know some people give it bonide and isolate it, and it's a lot of work 😭
I've never had problems with getting bugs while the plants are outside. the plants are healthiest while outdoors and that keeps them resilient against pests. its when they are indoors in a forced environment that their immunity decreases making them more susceptible. i wouldn't worry about that
Hello. Thank you so much for this video. I have been searching for tips and this is the first useful thing I’ve found! After cutting back the trunks/stems, how long should I expect it to take for them to start growing again?
This video inspired me to buy one, thank you!! Just curious, will the trunk or main stem where it was originally cut (I assume prior to shipping to stores) continue to grow taller over time or is it stuck at that size since it was cut?
Great video and beautiful tree! Just got a braided money tree from the store myself and wanted to ask, will the gaps in between the braids fill in over time or does it initially need to be braided tightly? Not sure I can rebraid a store bought one since the trunk is already woody. Thanks!
The gaps will generally not fill in. and normally the section that is braided is quite woody making it very difficult to restart the braid, but it is worth trying!
QUESTION: U mentioned about doing a separate video for propagating money trees. Has it been posted yet? I searched for it & haven't seen anything yet? Thank u!🙏🏻
It has been trickier to prop successfully than I thought. Re other question, yes you can prune back to where it was cut back last time or wait for it to get taller; your choice
@@plantvibrations Thank u for clarifying!👍🏻🙏🏻 I'm sure u will figure out the propagation tricks soon.😊 Look forward to seeing this video when u do post it.
Great video and your tree is massive! I do have a Question: my money tree has droopy leaves, do u know what is the reason? Other then that it looks healthy and pushing out new leaves
Hi, i have money tree and 2 years now from us.but all the leaves gone turning yellow and then its gone only few left i them to be plenty of leaves like before.what shoul i do thanks for response highly appreciated your helpful tip.
Hi! You guys have some really healthy looking plants🪴🪴👏I have a Pachira Aquatica that has sticky leaves. Underneath at the branch there are some slimey droplets they stay there and don´t fall so I´m wondering if it´s pest? Some of the leaves are green and others are yellow and spotty. I live in Scandinavia so it´s cold now but it´s by two large windows however no sun for months now. Any advice if it´s salvageable?
Yes that is the classic sign of a pest such as aphids or spider mites. If you spray the plant with horticultural soap repeatedly for a week that should solve the problem
Thank you for the informative video! I think my money tree is having root rot after the repotting and a thin layer of grayish white formed on the surface of the soil. Is there any solutions?
Thanks for the great video! Please, I have a question and hope for some help. We have a money tree in our house (based in UK). It has grown in a full on tree, reaching the ceiling of the room. It is quite close to a window so it does have some direct light, the window is orientated south west. It is braided with four main small trunks, each one of them generating a branch. The question is, the branches have gone really long and high. Now, all the leaves of the lower part have gone quite yellow and I had to remove them. Leaving 3/4 of the plant without leaves. Only having leaves in the high part of the tree. Is there a way for us to bring some growth to the lower part of the tree? Is pruning going to help? I hope it makes sense and I am open to any suggestion! Thanks.
My money tree is top heavy, 2 years ago, 2 of the braid trucks dried up and fell off. So mine has 1 stem 5 feet tall very bushy on top. What do you suggest?🤥
Hello. Thanks for sharing. Your plants are beautiful. I inherited a 20 year old Pachira and it's not doing very well. It grew without braiding and appears weak. Will it be possible to cut the 3 stems you have, place them to take root, plant and braid them? And discard the entire current base where the braid is, as it is quite dry (it looks ugly). Thank you
My money tree has shot up 3 foot but has little leaves and bare about half way up. Any suggestions? While I was bracing the one shoot broke off right before the leaves started. Help we have had this tree for years and would like to save it.
I would suggest cutting it back and letting it start over. That’ll help it get much bushier. Cut back to the top of the braid or top of the woody growth
I have one that I got my husband almost 5 years ago, it was so tiny and it now like 6 ft tall, but sooooo long and leggy. Should I cut it down to the base and let it grow new leaf sprouts? Can I propagate with the cuttings and braid them to start a new plant. I really don’t know what to do with it, is there an option to email an image to review? Thank you!
I have a money tree that i've had for about 13 years. I knew nothing about plants then so it's never been pruned. Naturally it's gotten quite spindly and since it lives on my kitchen table i would like to trim it back. Can i cut all the foliage off? If i want to take it all the way back to the braid should i do that in stages (years)?
That's a beautiful houseplant. I live in your area in NJ near the Commadore Barry Bridge. Can you recommend a place to buy good quality plants in this area? I do watch you on QVC.
hi! thank you for your support!! hmm thats a good question, i primarily do my plant shopping at wholesale nurseries. but a couple good ones in my area (which may be kind of far for you) are Wedgewood Gardens Nursery and Gardeners Nursery
Help my money tree is huge. I’ve had it for years since it was a baby maybe 2020?. Now it’s like 52” tall & it’s tipping over. Am I supposed to braid it more ?? I think it’s time to repot, it’s grown so much every year I seem to need to repot it. 🤔
Bugs only mess with unhealthy plants. I’ve never had issues with putting plants outside and bringing them back. You may get a spider or two but they’re harmless
We have a money tree whose trunks didn't grow twisted. It was a gift for my husband. He just let the trunks grow straight up. Can we twist the stalks now or will it kill the plant? The plant is probably about 15 years old. Plus it's getting too tall and has surpassed the top of the windows. Is there a way to shorten it or cut it back? I know this is a lot. We don't know what to do and don't want to kill it.
@@plantvibrations ok once I cut the top off can I propagate what I cut off or is it a lost cause? Does it take long for the money tree to branch back out since there is nothing left but the trunk and the roots? Please advice because I'm lost at this moment. I don't have problems with my other one because I learned from this one..lol
i didn’t know about continuing to braid my money tree and now it’s leaf-stems are quite long, almost all 5-6 of them shooting out in different directions, and it looks kind of dumb. what should i do? trim them down so new growth starts? try to braid them? (i don’t think this would be possible without some force…) please help! tia
Help please! I bought a money tree plant in October, I repotted it and it began to drop leaves and leaves where turning yellow and have notches in them. It took about a month or more for the soil to dry out so I became worried about root rot so I stopped watering. I also became concerned that I may have planted the trunk a little to low in the soil, so is pushed the soil away from the trunk. It seemed to help it came back and with lots of new foliage. But now here it is May I haven't lost anymore leaves since December or any yellow leaves. BUT now I noticed one of the trunks on it is dried out at the bottom like if its dehydrated. Is there any way of saving it? Any recommendations? Thank You
Hmm well I’m glad you fixed it being too low in the soil, that will definitely kill it, likewise the soil should stay wet for no more than 3-4 days. Consider moving it outside in a shaded area for summer
Hi Devin, when do I remove the black bands from the bottom sides of my plant?? Just bought them and don’t know how long to leave them on for!! Thank you
Hi I’m new to the channel and just bought a money tree from heb and I water it with 2 ice cubes every Wednesday is that all it needs? Also is it normal to be sideways ?
I need your plant expertise!! My money trees are only 5 yrs old, about 6ft tall but hardly any branches or leaves. How can I keep it short and full I stead of so tall it's pushing against my ceiling?
My money tree is 15ft and has flowered - just like the flower shown in your vid. I understand they have to be 10yr old before they flower ! I'd like to send you a photo but I can't find a place to do that!
Hi, my daughter just gave me a Japanese money tree for Mother’s Day. She bought it from a farmers market. It is not braided at all. Just one trunk(diameter around base is about 12 inches, height about 9 inches). It has two very long skinny shoots and a few smaller shoots.. what do i do with this? Can i braid the shoots and go from there?
My money tree is 23 foot tall it's growing next to our hot tub . A neighbor moved out 20 years ago. And left it behind. It was about a foot tall then. Now I'm getting seeds🎉
Omg!! Would love to see it

bc it's looking pretty sad these days. The leaves it does have are wilted & it's just not looking good at all.
How do you control the growth?
@fousies I just prune it back to the height I want to keep it at, and it fills back in in no time.
My wife and I purchased our money tree in 1996. And it's still with us 2025. It has three root balls on the bottom of it that are huge about the size of three baseballs I've kept it down to 7 ft we have it very nicely trimmed. We are so proud of our baby.

Balancing out the lighting will be helpful
all those money plants this man must be rich...

I like that! 😂😂😂
I'm going to put some dollar bills on my money tree, just for a minute or so to take photos of it. Lol
Hey Devin, what happened to the large old money tree? Only saw your other one in your recent house plant tour video.
It’s still growing! Next summer I will chop it back tho
It is currently in the bedroom not receiving ample light so it looks unshapely
Can you put different plants or flowers in with the money tree Will it survive will it grow along with it?
You could put something like an inch plant at the base
I have a money tree that I didn't know needed to be braided as it grew. Is it possible to start now?
Once it gets woody it’s very hard to rebraid
Do u remove the bands they put around the bottom trunk balls ? I was told I needed to.
Yeah remove them
Thanks for the great video! Please, I have a question and hope for some help.
We have a money tree in our house (based in UK). It has grown in a full on tree, reaching the ceiling of the room. It is quite close to a window so it does have some direct light, the window is orientated south west.
It is braided with four main small trunks, each one of them generating a branch.
The question is, the branches have gone really long and high. Now, all the leaves of the lower part have gone quite yellow and I had to remove them. Leaving 3/4 of the plant without leaves. Only having leaves in the high part of the tree. Is there a way for us to bring some growth to the lower part of the tree? Is pruning going to help?
I hope it makes sense and I am open to any suggestion! Thanks.
Should it get outside light or indirect inside ? Mine is turning yellow soft leaves and fall off :( its inside with all day indirect light
Place outside for summer in a shaded area
Which grow light is that in your plant? It looks like a small type of led? And for the soil mix is that also sphagnum moss in your soil mix??
You can find a link to the light in the description below! and yes it is sphagnum moss
@@plantvibrations Awesome thank you!
My money tree is top heavy, 2 years ago, 2 of the braid trucks dried up and fell off. So mine has 1 stem 5 feet tall very bushy on top. What do you suggest?🤥
Chop the top off and it’ll regrow and thicken up the trunk
Hello. Thanks for sharing. Your plants are beautiful.
I inherited a 20 year old Pachira and it's not doing very well. It grew without braiding and appears weak. Will it be possible to cut the 3 stems you have, place them to take root, plant and braid them? And discard the entire current base where the braid is, as it is quite dry (it looks ugly). Thank you
I’ve tried a few times to propagate via stem cuttings as you propose but I’ve not had success rooting them. Perhaps using root hormone can help
My money tree has shot up 3 foot but has little leaves and bare about half way up. Any suggestions? While I was bracing the one shoot broke off right before the leaves started. Help we have had this tree for years and would like to save it.
I would suggest cutting it back and letting it start over. That’ll help it get much bushier. Cut back to the top of the braid or top of the woody growth
@@plantvibrations thank you
What to do if the leaves have black dots ,any idea?Thank you!
Hmm there could be a number of different causes for it, it’s hard to say without seeing it
Great advice! My money tree just got so tall and lanky. Sounds silly but is it bad luck to cut a tall one down?
Definitely not! It is an important thing to do to keep them healthy
I have one that I got my husband almost 5 years ago, it was so tiny and it now like 6 ft tall, but sooooo long and leggy. Should I cut it down to the base and let it grow new leaf sprouts? Can I propagate with the cuttings and braid them to start a new plant. I really don’t know what to do with it, is there an option to email an image to review? Thank you!
You can send me a photo via Instagram!
wonderful!!!! Thank you. I will do so now. I just started following you there
Hi did you have put money under the pot before plants it thanks I just get one 3days ago .
Hahah no i didn’t
Awesome!!! New subscriber here from Canada. Just wondering if you guys ship to Canada. Thanks!
thanks for your support! unfortunately i can't ship to canada :(
Great video! Can a Momey Tree be planted in a self watering pot?
I don’t see why not, I’ve honestly never used one before
@@plantvibrations so far so good... Plant 🪴 is looking good!
I have a money tree that i've had for about 13 years. I knew nothing about plants then so it's never been pruned. Naturally it's gotten quite spindly and since it lives on my kitchen table i would like to trim it back. Can i cut all the foliage off? If i want to take it all the way back to the braid should i do that in stages (years)?
Do it all in one fell swoop
Ok thank you! I find pruning slighly terrifying :/@@plantvibrations
Where can I get this Roberta’s Fertilizer? It’s not in the description.
Plant-vibrations.com !
That's a beautiful houseplant. I live in your area in NJ near the Commadore Barry Bridge. Can you recommend a place to buy good quality plants in this area? I do watch you on QVC.
hi! thank you for your support!! hmm thats a good question, i primarily do my plant shopping at wholesale nurseries. but a couple good ones in my area (which may be kind of far for you) are Wedgewood Gardens Nursery and Gardeners Nursery
@@plantvibrations Wedgewood is about 30 minutes away. I will definitely visit. Looking forward to seeing you on QVC!
Help my money tree is huge. I’ve had it for years since it was a baby maybe 2020?. Now it’s like 52” tall & it’s tipping over. Am I supposed to braid it more ?? I think it’s time to repot, it’s grown so much every year I seem to need to repot it. 🤔
Consider cutting it back. That will thicken up the braid and re establish it at a better height for you
If you put it outside how do you prevent bringing in bugs?
Bugs only mess with unhealthy plants. I’ve never had issues with putting plants outside and bringing them back. You may get a spider or two but they’re harmless
We have a money tree whose trunks didn't grow twisted. It was a gift for my husband. He just let the trunks grow straight up. Can we twist the stalks now or will it kill the plant? The plant is probably about 15 years old. Plus it's getting too tall and has surpassed the top of the windows. Is there a way to shorten it or cut it back? I know this is a lot. We don't know what to do and don't want to kill it.
Send me a photo on Instagram and I’ll show you where you can cut
Do you recall where you got that gorgeous planter?
It was at the home when I bought it!
Any chance you still plan on making the propagation video still???
I had a lot of difficulty getting them to root!
Great video. Thank you. I just bought a short thick booty money tree baby. Needed some guidance.
How would you fix a leggy money tree
Cut the top off about 3” above where the braid ends
@@plantvibrations ok once I cut the top off can I propagate what I cut off or is it a lost cause? Does it take long for the money tree to branch back out since there is nothing left but the trunk and the roots? Please advice because I'm lost at this moment. I don't have problems with my other one because I learned from this one..lol
Your tress are absolutely stunning! I’m having the hardest time with mine. I’m on my second one and I’m not sure he’s going to make it. 😢
Hopefully there were some good tips in the video!!
Great tips. I’m just not sure what I’m doing wrong. I want to buy another one and do the opposite just to see if I can figure it out 🤦♀️🤷♀️🫣
i didn’t know about continuing to braid my money tree and now it’s leaf-stems are quite long, almost all 5-6 of them shooting out in different directions, and it looks kind of dumb. what should i do? trim them down so new growth starts? try to braid them? (i don’t think this would be possible without some force…) please help! tia
Send me a photo on ig and I can give an idea. It’s hard to understand from your description
Help please! I bought a money tree plant in October, I repotted it and it began to drop leaves and leaves where turning yellow and have notches in them. It took about a month or more for the soil to dry out so I became worried about root rot so I stopped watering. I also became concerned that I may have planted the trunk a little to low in the soil, so is pushed the soil away from the trunk. It seemed to help it came back and with lots of new foliage. But now here it is May I haven't lost anymore leaves since December or any yellow leaves. BUT now I noticed one of the trunks on it is dried out at the bottom like if its dehydrated. Is there any way of saving it? Any recommendations? Thank You
Hmm well I’m glad you fixed it being too low in the soil, that will definitely kill it, likewise the soil should stay wet for no more than 3-4 days. Consider moving it outside in a shaded area for summer
Hi Devin, when do I remove the black bands from the bottom sides of my plant?? Just bought them and don’t know how long to leave them on for!! Thank you
Once you start to see the stem turning gray (becoming woodier) you can safely remove the band
Show a video trimming the money tree I have a money tree but I don't know how to trim it
I’ll try to
Devin thanks I have one 4, 6 year .
🙌🙌🙌
Hi I’m new to the channel and just bought a money tree from heb and I water it with 2 ice cubes every Wednesday is that all it needs? Also is it normal to be sideways ?
I wouldn’t recommend using ice cubes. Normal water is fine. If it’s leaning to one side, rotate it regularly
@@plantvibrations ok I’ll just start doing that. Thank you and have a blesssd day
Keeping braided, would it strangulate the plant as it grows?
Not in my experience
I need your plant expertise!! My money trees are only 5 yrs old, about 6ft tall but hardly any branches or leaves. How can I keep it short and full I stead of so tall it's pushing against my ceiling?
You need to just cut it back like I mentioned
What would it look like if unbraided?
Still pretty, just a little more wild
I made the mistake of reporting into a large container. Big mistake. It now has one 3 ft woody stem. Can I salvage it?
Unfortunately once it gets woody it can’t go back
@@plantvibrations thank you .can I take cuttings from the top and propagate around the woody stem?
My money tree is 15ft and has flowered - just like the flower shown in your vid. I understand they have to be 10yr old before they flower ! I'd like to send you a photo but I can't find a place to do that!
Perhaps you can send me a photo via Instagram!

is it better to fertilize the money tree after you transplant?
Give it a month after transplant before fertilizing
Hi, my daughter just gave me a Japanese money tree for Mother’s Day. She bought it from a farmers market. It is not braided at all. Just one trunk(diameter around base is about 12 inches, height about 9 inches). It has two very long skinny shoots and a few smaller shoots.. what do i do with this? Can i braid the shoots and go from there?
If it is still pliable you can try to braid it!
Thank you. The shoots are very thin and pliable. So then would i cut it pack so it will thicken up with new shoots off of those new cuts
Do you have any idea where it’s possible to buy them from seed? Amazon has sellers with fake seeds
Hmm I’m not sure, perhaps Etsy
