Braided Money Tree Care

Plant Braided Money Tree in a sandy peat-moss soil. Start with a 6-inch pot and repot every two to three years as the plant grows. When repotting, use a pot one size bigger. As the Braided Money Tree grows, be sure to maintain its braid when the trunk is still flexible. Remove leaves from the lower part of the trunk.
