What Comes In The Box

 
The five leaves seen on each stalk are thought to represent the five elements of earth, water, fire, wind, and metal. And if you just so happen to find a money tree plant featuring a stalk with seven leaves—a major rarity—it's considered to be even luckier.

Lighting : Money tree plants like a mix of direct and indirect sunlight. As with most houseplants, too much direct sun can burn the leaves. 

Soil: It's important to use a well drained and nutrient rich potting mix.

Water:  Give it a good watering every one to two weeks, allowing the soil to dry in between. This plant requires a lot of water but not all of the time.
