Light
Money tree tolerates pretty much all light levels except strong direct sunlight. As a result, it is a great plant for beginners. It can live anywhere, as long as the room has a window.
Soil
Needles need well-drained soil, pH from neutral to slightly acidic (6.0 – 7.0). For better soil drainage, you can add a little sand or perlite.
Country
Thanks to the thick roots, the money tree is drought tolerant. Plants should be watered only when the soil is completely dry, usually about every two weeks depending on the conditions. When watering, water until you see water run out at the bottom of the pot, then pour off excess water.
Temperature
Money can live well in a residential environment. They do not tolerate low temperatures (below 7 degrees), so they should be kept away from drafts or particularly cold locations.
Fertilizer
In general, money needles do not need frequent fertilization. However, if you want to increase the size or vitality of the plant, you can apply a diluted fertilizer once – twice during the growing season (early spring).
Alert
All parts of the coin contain calcium oxalate, so people, dogs and cats who eat it will be in danger.
