Potting: Money Plants do not need any special type of potting soil. Being a tropical native, they do well in any well-drained potting soil rich with organic material. Use a mix of coco-peat, compost, sand in 20:60:20 ratio

In drier months, misting them a few times a week could help improve humidity around the plant and help them flourish.

Fertilising: Feeding your Money Plants a few times a year is a good way to get them to stay healthy. Give them some organic liquid fertiliser once or twice a year.

If you are using a chemical fertiliser do ensure that you keep it away from the plant and its base.
