This distinctive stump form features a thick, sculptural trunk topped with a fresh canopy of glossy, hand-shaped leaves, giving it the appearance of a miniature tropical tree. Money Trees are traditionally associated with prosperity, positive energy, and good fortune, making them popular choices for homes, offices, housewarmings, and business gifts.

🌞 Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can tolerate medium light, although growth may become slower. Protect it from prolonged direct afternoon sun.

💧 Watering: Allow the upper 2 to 3 inches of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Empty any collected drainage water and reduce watering during cooler months. Stump forms are especially sensitive to consistently wet soil.

🕳️ Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor plant mixture amended with perlite, pumice, or fine orchid bark.

🧪 Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Pause fertilizing during fall and winter.

🪴 Repotting: Repot every 2 to 3 years or when roots have filled the container. Choose a pot with drainage that is only slightly larger than the current pot.
