Water: Deep but infrequent watering. Water when the top 50%-75% of the soil is dry. Water the plant until it runs from the drainage holes and discard any excess water from the saucer. To prevent root rot, make sure your plant is never standing in water. Remember to rotate it when you water!

A pebble tray or regular misting can help improve ambient humidity, which Money trees like!
