Place your tree in good soil mix. The money tree doesn’t need much soil, its root system is very shallow and small. However, since it grows quite tall, make sure the pot is heavy enough so it won’t tip over. It is recommended to place clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage and avoid having the roots wallow in water. Also, keep a small hand mister with soft water nearby. Squirt the plant often to give it the moisture it craves.
