Description: Native to Central and South America, the Money Tree is a braided tree that can grow up to 6-8 feet indoors or be trained as a bonsai. In East Asia, the Money Tree is often used by those who practice Feng Shui to bring positive "Chi," or energy, into the room, thus being a popular housewarming gift. On top of that, it is a hardy plant that requires relatively low maintenance. It can tolerate direct sunlight but prefers bright indirect light, lots of water, and warm temperatures.
