Plant facts

Water deeply, then let the soil dry out fully. Every two to three weeks is often enough.

Put it in the sunniest spot. Thin, pale, leaning leaves mean it needs more light.

Feed lightly once in spring and once in summer. Repot into sandy soil when pups crowd the pot.

Mushy, brown leaves mean too much water. Small pups at the base can be separated and potted on their own.

Minimal, so your plant can be dramatic.

Tells you the truth about your watering.

Money tree without the money.
