I put mine outside in deep shade about 15 years ago and then kind of forgot about it. When I did remember, it had been sitting there for about a year and the roots had gone through the bottom of the pot so I ended up leaving it in that spot permanently. Now it has grown so tall that it has broken through the plant that was giving it shade and amazingly, it suffers our very hot and dry summer heat of over 40ºC and 15-20% RH almost every day. But somehow it has adapted and is thriving.
That's funny. I'm going to stick some dollar bills on it, just for a minute, to take a photo and show it to my kids. Hmmmm, I might post it on Facebook, too! 😂😂😂
you should probably remove, or at least loosen, that tie. you can see that the wood is bulging around it. also the plant should stay together without the tie.
So funny to see the Dutch mountains in the background of your picture for the Netherlands. (I'm Dutch.) Clearly, the Dutch mountains is where unicorns live happily ever after - happily galloping among the money trees, apparently.
I live in a garden level apartment, so sunlight from windows isn't really an option for me, but my little unbraided chonky-trunk baby money tree was still doing quite well for itself...until my cat figured out how to get to it. She absolutely ravaged its leaves, and as a result it's looking like it just threw itself into a blender...but it's not dead. I've been putting it outside in the late afternoon to give it a boost now that the weather is warmer, so I'm hoping it'll pull through.
Also, I do braid mine. There’s a video on UA-cam in which someone shows how her 10-year-old money tree looks, and it turns out that the stems really need the support of being braided together.
Mine is dying now I got 2 yellow leaves again this morning when I bought it it’s 7 branches 1 by 1 it’s died just 3 remaining it getting yellow the leaves I’m telling to my money tree if you going to die o don’t buy anymore 😢
I got mine last summer as a baby. I live in Louisiana sometimes the temperature gets close too 100 degrees. Mine stays in the direct sun all day long & only gets water when it rains. My money tree is over 4 feet tall. I do absolutely nothing too it & it's so absolutely beautiful.
You can absolutely put one of these in direct sun in a south facing window. (Or a north facing window if you’re in the southern hemisphere) You just need to acclimate it slowly. Best time to do so is in the late winter or early spring (like this time of year in the northern hemisphere) Start out several feet from the window and move it 6 to 8 inches closer every week. Once they get accustomed to the sun they grow MUCH faster and suck up water a lot quicker too. Letting them dry out completely between waterings occasionally helps encourage the trunks to thicken and store more water. Lots of people grow these as landscaping trees here in South Florida. They do very well in direct sun.
I have a 10 ft money tree that grew from a tiny thing probably 10 inches tall, that I found thrown away in the side of the road, in one year under Florida full sun
I got one from Ikea and I choose one with a broken stem, it was like fold. (in the green part) because I love saving plants 😅 I just add a tutor nothing more and it healed it self😊 now it's visible if you search for it.😅
They also love 75% cactus 25% regular soil mix where they live goes through dry periods to flooding periods so what you can do leave a plastic tray under the pot to hold to left over water that will simulate flooding and leave the water the plant will eventually drink it and leave it dry for about a week also or use your moisture meter and do what he said
Had one before and it was gorgeous for about a year. I ended up giving it fertilizer and it slowly died after that. I was told it was due to the rubberband I didn't see around the trunk below dirt level. But I blame that Miracle Gro. It drew in so many gnats though!
I actually unknoted mine after one died. Now, the 4 that are left are loving life. Got Mr Sheffield's moisture meter for Christmas and as you say, "it's a (plant) life saver" 😊
Well that explains why both of mine are doing great from the start, as I am from the Netherlands 😂 It was one of my first plants and for me they are as easy as my sansevierias and zz plants. I actually one water when the soil is dry. I did place them in well draining soil and then only fully water them, let it drain and put it back in its decorative pot. The stems hold a lot of moisture so for me this works for watering and it prevents rootrot.
I got one like 2 years ago for mother's Day or some event and it's clinging on it has grown but it definitely turns yellow and looks droopy a lot of the time
Bought my money tree at Lowes on their clearance table for $10. It was already about 2-3 feet tall but 4 branches were cut for whatever reason and the others seemed fine. I placed it in my kitchen about 2 feet from a window and it was not happy - dropped every last leaf in protest! I thought all hope was lost but decided to place it on my front steps outdoors and within one week it started sprouting all over! I am in upstate NY and it is now July so it seems to thrive with the humidity and 2-3 hours of morning sun. It rained last night so I worried the soil may now be too moist - I will keep checking with my moisture meter and keep my fingers crossed but shouldn't the money tree be able to tolerate outdoor rain as long as the pot has adequate draining holes ?
Eek! I hope my one doesn't die, I'll be gutted! Sorry to all those who have lost theirs 😢 I unbraided mine when it arrived, apparently braiding them stunts their growth? Not a clue how true that is.
Just what I needed. Mine was just like yours and then I moved it closer to the window and... 😢. This is northern Spain, and it rains quite a lot so a bit warmer than Sheffield but still not too much. Now I moved it back and seems to be better but I suspect possible rot roots. Just bought my moisture meter although I might change the blocky soil I put back in the day when I had no idea what I was doing whatsoever. We'll see how it thrives or if it totally dies. In any case I have some propagation going on so hopefully I'll be able to keep it. It's a lovely plant. Thanks.
Ive been braiding mine for 4 years and keep the top bushy. Its great. I just have a hard time keeping the stems even. Thanks for another wonderful video.
Thank you for this plant info. I enjoy your post so much! Did you ever try to grow a Bird of Paradise? I live in the NE US and have one that is struggling.
I hate seeing them braided together as seedlings - it's plant torture and started as some kind of a gimmick which unfortunately has caught on. We got two potfuls a while back and immediately separated the poor tortured things. Btw, they're related to baobabs which I'm having great success with.
This is a terrible internet take. Braided plants are completely unaware of what is happening to them. They do not feel pain. They do not have emotions.

Regarding the "awareness" of plants, the commentator is clearly unaware of the vast body of scientific evidence regarding plant communication and response to positive and negative stimuli.

The money tree my husband bought me about twenty years ago has stopped spouting stems/leaves except for at the very top 🙁, why? Is there anything I can do?
This is my first and best plant that I've grown at my office! I've had it for 2 years now, and once I see signs of spring growth I'm going to cut a lot of it back for the very first time. I'm nervous but excited!
I got mine YEARS Ago and I give it plenty of light.... but the top looks beautiful growing new leaves frequently........but it looks so top heavy... like everything is beautiful on top.....but then it just STOPS and doesn't grow at all below the top.
I have 7 tall pachira aquatica inside my house. All of them have seven leaves in their stalks. This is the best plant vlog I have ever seen. I love this. So funny. "Give it an oxygen tank and a mask?" And catching knats with pot lids😂😂😂😂😂
I have mine for almost two years now. When I brought it home I realized a few pieces broke off during the transport. So I just put them in a jar of water and kept them there for almost a year. They both grew nice roots and now are planted in a cactus soil and happy. I bottom water mine whenever the leaves look a tiny bit droopy. I love this plant so much that I bought another one. It was braided very tightly and the stems were suffocating. One died. So I loosened up the braid a bit and now the stems are happy.
First time I hear to keep their soil moist. mine is very happy and constantly growing with me letting it dry out completely in between watering. BUT it has a quite big pot (I didn´t know better when I repottet), I test as far as my chopstick can reach but not sure how dry the very bottom get´s. I probably water about every 2-4 weeks, depending on the temperature. It does get a lot of light though, it´s in prime position together with my monstera deliciosa.
I also only water every 2-4 weeks when the soil is completely dry, I treat it the same as my zz plants and get new leaves all the time it's doing great
Every time I water mine I lose a branch of leaves. 😢 I’ve started bottom watering maybe a cup each time. It’s not happy, but I’m not losing leaves anymore.
RIP to his brother that died from being milked for 3 months, he will be remembered. I was expecting that other plant (forgot its name) that fell victim to soy sauce. I was sad when you mentioned in your tour video of 2023. But I was surprised when you mentioned that your money tree with milk had also died. It was looking much better than the soy sauce plant. I know it had no roots left basically, but wow, I guess that milk has long term effects.
Are there different varieties of money tree plant? Mine doesn't look like these youtube ones?! Maybe supermarket miss-labelled it although it looks same as my neighbour's large thriving money tree which lived outside in a beer barrel?.. Thank you.
My money tree always looked great outside in the shade for the summer and then it would droop, throw out a bunch of yellow leaves and act like it was about to die when I had to bring it inside for the winter. Believe it or not, it has done the best I’ve ever seen since living in a self watering pot. Yes, I know, that’s blasphemy but my money tree seems to enjoy that pot!
Just changed my soil and pot so I’m hoping mine will bounce back. It’s droopy and the end of the leaves are yellow. It’s struggled since I moved in with my girlfriend and the sunlight here is crap.
There is a difference between light and heat. I find windows with blinds are helpful. Morning sun is much better than afternoon sun. Here in the U.S. the summers are brutal, so the right spot inside can be challenging. Thanks for the advice. Keep up the good work.
That's my bubba as you call it. He is much smaller than yours and has been cut lots of times so no more braiding for me either. He is 13 inches tall including the 7 inches of braiding. I love him and this video was cracking. I did it and made the two cuts on my jade and now we will see if all three will grow. Very exciting stuff. My last task for the day is my ficus microcarpa. It's too has a knobby root ball growing out of the earth with the leaves growing from the top. It had three out of place long leave stems growing so I cut them off and planted them in earth like a ficus cutting. Let's see if they will grow! It looks better anyways. Cheerio Rich. Love and Peace.
The 3 head clip on light with a timer is great as well as the 36w bulb you can plug into an existing light fixture. Lots of great light for plants with both options
@@SheffieldMadePlants Thank you, I did purchase. I believe the 15 watt bulbs, the three pack and next I'm going to buy the 36 watt after I go purchase another Majesty Palm, I just killed the one I had 😭
Mine it gets longer and bigger. Now it reach our high ceiling. I bought it like size like yours now it grew like crazy. You are right first I place my MT next to our sliding door then it grew crazy and healthy now I moved farther from the sliding door cause it is to high it doesn’t fit there it will teach the ceiling. Now I observed it some of the stem getting or dying and some more leaves going yellow but I can’t move close to sliding door no more.
My tree was doing swimmingly until summer hit. Now a lot of leaves have brown spots while some others are either yellow or patchy. I figured it was getting too much scorching sunlight, so I actually moved it away from the window. Not sure that's what it is now. Any thoughts? The hardest part for me is always figuring out the cause of things like this, as the reasons listed are always either underwatering or overwatering. I read everywhere to water it only once every 3 to 4 weeks. I watered it every 4 weeks, but when it started looking a little un happy changed it to every 3 weeks. Some places say you should let the soil dry completely, others say you should always keep it a little moist. How do you do that without watering it and risking root rot?
@@SheffieldMadePlants Will do, thanks. Is it unusual for a tree to have both brown tips and yellow leaves? From what I've read there seem to be different causes for both.
I just bought one but mine is a miniature 10 inches there arent that many videos out there for smaller ones. (One of the roots is shedding and feels super wet)
Mine is loving its over winter spot in the bathroom window even though it is directly above the heater. It has consistently produced new growth and some of the shoots have six levels instead of five. That might be its permanent spot even when the rest of the plants go back outside for the season.
I just stick mine under a plant light and it's doing well. It does get some light from a window. I'm terrible about remembering to water so the soil dries out completely on a regular basis. Still looks fine. I let the soil sit in a dish of water so it can really saturate when I do water it. And I add a silicon supplement to the liquid fertilizer I use since I heard it makes the plant more resilient.
@@SheffieldMadePlants...Ha, Richard, you only wish, huh?? You could sell it for sure and open up your new plant shop.......what an idea.......just my humor!
i got a money tree from a friend that was left in water for about a week or two, I just repotted it into dirt to maybe save it? the bottom of the stems felt a bit mushy, do u think there's hope to saving it?

Yes been winning on scratchcards but since found out it not money tree as such but Chinese money penny tree 😊
I just keep loosing money after I kill my money trees then buy new ones trying to figure out the formula.
I have. I'm about to propagate mine! 💰
No, but this video has me wondering if I can sell the advice from this video 😂😂😂

Good shout thanks
woohoo, what a coincidence, I just got myself a huge moneytree yesterday! was meaning to see if you did a video on them and here we are!
Perfect!
omg you have 7 leaf clusters!!! I managed that only once and felt like I won the lottery!
Mr. Sheffield, how are you not sponsored by the makers of your famous bin? Honestly, they should get on that.
Where's their number...
So funny to see the Dutch mountains in the background of your picture for the Netherlands. (I'm Dutch.) Clearly, the Dutch mountains is where unicorns live happily ever after - happily galloping among the money trees, apparently.

I've been putting it outside in the late afternoon to give it a boost now that the weather is warmer, so I'm hoping it'll pull through.
Couple months too late for me!
If mine got even slightly too dry, leaves would turn yellow and die. So for a few years, I’ve had it in a self-watering pot, and it LOVES it!
Also, I do braid mine. There’s a video on UA-cam in which someone shows how her 10-year-old money tree looks, and it turns out that the stems really need the support of being braided together.
Now, that I'm going to look into, a self watering pot. Thanks 👍
Thanks Mr Sheffield for all your tips. Your money plant looks very healthy. I’m a big fan of your channel 😊
You should get one to replace your palm ms J
@@SheffieldMadePlants I should Mr Sheffield 😀
I killed mine and I am not buying another one.
I killed mine and I am still mourning it like a pet. I will buy another when I am ready.

Plants are adaptive plants grow with what they are given. The older the plant though the less it can adapt.
Hmmmm, like me or a bit older adults. I'm only 76 years young, and find it harder to adapt to changes. 😄
I'm growing my money tree in leca for last two years. I'm happy that it's doing great. 😊
Happy to see coir mentioned. The Burpee brand seems good, sells out often on Amazon.
My money tree wasn't doing well. So I decided to give rain water instead and now it's doing good.
Unbraided two huge money trees, and planted in groups of three, or individually. It looks so cool
I’ve always wanted to try a money tree. Now that I know how to care for one properly I might just take the plunge. Thanks!
You should it's nice

They both grew nice roots and now are planted in a cactus soil and happy. I bottom water mine whenever the leaves look a tiny bit droopy. I love this plant so much that I bought another one. It was braided very tightly and the stems were suffocating. One died. So I loosened up the braid a bit and now the stems are happy.
Great stuff 👍
Richard I have one of these it’s beautiful. Bushy. One of my favorite plants ❤
First time I hear to keep their soil moist. mine is very happy and constantly growing with me letting it dry out completely in between watering. BUT it has a quite big pot (I didn´t know better when I repottet), I test as far as my chopstick can reach but not sure how dry the very bottom get´s. I probably water about every 2-4 weeks, depending on the temperature.
It does get a lot of light though, it´s in prime position together with my monstera deliciosa.
I also only water every 2-4 weeks when the soil is completely dry, I treat it the same as my zz plants and get new leaves all the time it's doing great
Mine is 12’ feet high and touching the ceiling. What can I do? We keep snipping the top. Will it grow outside in zone 9a?
I’m not great with zones. Min temps need to be 15c though
Every time I water mine I lose a branch of leaves. 😢 I’ve started bottom watering maybe a cup each time. It’s not happy, but I’m not losing leaves anymore.
I heard the money tree loves to "see" the sky. I get great late afternoon sun where he has full view of the sky.
RIP to his brother that died from being milked for 3 months, he will be remembered. I was expecting that other plant (forgot its name) that fell victim to soy sauce. I was sad when you mentioned in your tour video of 2023.
But I was surprised when you mentioned that your money tree with milk had also died. It was looking much better than the soy sauce plant. I know it had no roots left basically, but wow, I guess that milk has long term effects.
He went to a better place 🙏
My short 3 became 2 and now as tall as I am..what am I to do?
Prune it back?
Are there different varieties of money tree plant? Mine doesn't look like these youtube ones?! Maybe supermarket miss-labelled it although it looks same as my neighbour's large thriving money tree which lived outside in a beer barrel?.. Thank you.
Not sure. I only know one
Oh dear thank you .
My money tree always looked great outside in the shade for the summer and then it would droop, throw out a bunch of yellow leaves and act like it was about to die when I had to bring it inside for the winter. Believe it or not, it has done the best I’ve ever seen since living in a self watering pot. Yes, I know, that’s blasphemy but my money tree seems to enjoy that pot!
Not much wrong with those pots in my book
Just changed my soil and pot so I’m hoping mine will bounce back. It’s droopy and the end of the leaves are yellow. It’s struggled since I moved in with my girlfriend and the sunlight here is crap.
Mine has new leaves but there almost mushy??? Not sure what is going on.
Overwatering?
There is a difference between light and heat. I find windows with blinds are helpful. Morning sun is much better than afternoon sun. Here in the U.S. the summers are brutal, so the right spot inside can be challenging. Thanks for the advice. Keep up the good work.
You bet!
That's my bubba as you call it. He is much smaller than yours and has been cut lots of times so no more braiding for me either. He is 13 inches tall including the 7 inches of braiding. I love him and this video was cracking. I did it and made the two cuts on my jade and now we will see if all three will grow. Very exciting stuff. My last task for the day is my ficus microcarpa. It's too has a knobby root ball growing out of the earth with the leaves growing from the top. It had three out of place long leave stems growing so I cut them off and planted them in earth like a ficus cutting. Let's see if they will grow! It looks better anyways. Cheerio Rich. Love and Peace.
3/5 of my trunks shriveled up. But I don’t want to unbraid it…
I went to the link you posted for the grow light but you don't show which grow light you have for your money tree? Can you recommend one?
The 3 head clip on light with a timer is great as well as the 36w bulb you can plug into an existing light fixture. Lots of great light for plants with both options
@@SheffieldMadePlants Thank you, I did purchase. I believe the 15 watt bulbs, the three pack and next I'm going to buy the 36 watt after I go purchase another Majesty Palm, I just killed the one I had 😭
That's beautiful! I haven't seen one that big! Is that the one that was on the floor on the other side of the room?
It's been moved round a lot. Usually on the floor though
Mine it gets longer and bigger. Now it reach our high ceiling. I bought it like size like yours now it grew like crazy. You are right first I place my MT next to our sliding door then it grew crazy and healthy now I moved farther from the sliding door cause it is to high it doesn’t fit there it will teach the ceiling. Now I observed it some of the stem getting or dying and some more leaves going yellow but I can’t move close to sliding door no more.
What will make the leaves on my money tree turn brown and fall off?
Could be a few things. Hard to say. Watering and light issues are most likely
Have anyone managed to grow it into maturity until it blooms and produces the seed?
My tree was doing swimmingly until summer hit. Now a lot of leaves have brown spots while some others are either yellow or patchy. I figured it was getting too much scorching sunlight, so I actually moved it away from the window. Not sure that's what it is now. Any thoughts? The hardest part for me is always figuring out the cause of things like this, as the reasons listed are always either underwatering or overwatering. I read everywhere to water it only once every 3 to 4 weeks. I watered it every 4 weeks, but when it started looking a little un happy changed it to every 3 weeks. Some places say you should let the soil dry completely, others say you should always keep it a little moist. How do you do that without watering it and risking root rot?
3 weeks seems a long time but depends on heat and light. Just water when the soil is pretty much dry and keep it somewhere bright
@@SheffieldMadePlants Will do, thanks. Is it unusual for a tree to have both brown tips and yellow leaves? From what I've read there seem to be different causes for both.
@@santanacaipirinha9536 I think I’ve had that on plants before
Vitimin is one of those words that i always notice how it is pronounced.
I just bought one but mine is a miniature 10 inches there arent that many videos out there for smaller ones. (One of the roots is shedding and feels super wet)
Mine is loving its over winter spot in the bathroom window even though it is directly above the heater. It has consistently produced new growth and some of the shoots have six levels instead of five. That might be its permanent spot even when the rest of the plants go back outside for the season.
Great stuff 👍
I just stick mine under a plant light and it's doing well. It does get some light from a window. I'm terrible about remembering to water so the soil dries out completely on a regular basis. Still looks fine. I let the soil sit in a dish of water so it can really saturate when I do water it. And I add a silicon supplement to the liquid fertilizer I use since I heard it makes the plant more resilient.
What if I have five trees twist together and one dies what do I do
I guess you’ll have to pull it out
Lol…. Yeah that’s what I’m growing…… a money tree!😏👍
Thumbnail made me think that was a weed plant 😂
I hear ya 😅
@@SheffieldMadePlants...Ha, Richard, you only wish, huh?? You could sell it for sure and open up your new plant shop.......what an idea.......just my humor!
THANK YOU for this amazing video! Loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
i got a money tree from a friend that was left in water for about a week or two, I just repotted it into dirt to maybe save it? the bottom of the stems felt a bit mushy, do u think there's hope to saving it?
Hmm potentially. Lots of light will be good. Mushy stems are never good though
@@SheffieldMadePlants i think some stems can pull threw hopfully 😭
