Caring for a money tree is very simple. It needs moderate watering that does not allow the soil to dry out or become too wet. If you notice that the leaves are starting to fall off or turn yellow, it means that the plant is not getting enough moisture.

The money tree also needs bright light, but you should avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to burn. It is better to place the money tree on a window on the east or west side of the house.

According to the omens associated with the money tree, it is believed that the plant attracts financial stability and prosperity to the house. Also, if the money tree was presented to you on your birthday, it brings good luck and success in life.

Active growth of the plant is considered a sign of happiness. This means that no one in the house is in need, and finances are multiplying. Conversely, drying up and diseases indicate the imminent destruction of the owners' wealth.
