If the adherents of feng shui are to be believed, the jade plant, or money tree, brings its owner good luck and attracts positive energy. Many people believe that it reduces stress, anxiety and even corrects sleep disturbances. We are not prepared to guarantee that this will be the case, but one thing can be said for certain — this plant will bring beauty into your home.
These tips will help you care for a Chinese money tree properly.
Watering
Like most houseplants, the money tree likes infrequent but generous watering. A sign that there is enough water: it begins to flow out of the drainage hole. Don't forget to pour off any standing water from the saucer if it has drained there.
Light
The money tree will do best in bright, indirect light. It is extremely important to turn the money tree so that different sides face the light source each time you water it (about once a week). This allows the plant to receive even lighting. Otherwise it may grow crooked.

Feeding
Feeding should be done about once a month during the demanding growing seasons, that is, in spring and summer. In the winter months no fertilizer is needed – at that time growth naturally slows down.
Humidity
The tree is not too demanding about humidity levels, but in the dry winter months you can place a humidifier nearby.
Temperature
The money tree does well in the average range of indoor temperatures. 16-26 degrees Celsius suits it just fine.
An interesting fact
The Chinese money tree has one unique trait: it does not like being moved often. So don't be alarmed if the tree loses a few leaves during the first few weeks after it arrives in your home. That is simply how it gets used to its new dwelling.
