This is a position that brings wealth, so placing the tree in the living room will help the homeowner attract wealth and luck. The tree's appearance is very beautiful when placed in the living room, enhancing interior decoration.
Placing in the hallway
The Money Tree is perfect for this location because hallways typically have ample space for the tree to thrive, enhancing aesthetics and purifying the air, creating a healthier living environment and bringing good health to the homeowner.
Small pot placed on the work desk
Placing it on the work desk helps the homeowner's work to develop smoothly, promoting career advancement. The Money Tree adapts well to different environmental conditions, so it can thrive even in low-light office environments or indoors.
How to care for the Money Tree
When kept indoors for a long time, the tree may not stay lush green; its leaves may turn yellow and feel dry and thin to the touch due to lack of sunlight. To remedy this, place the tree in areas like the balcony or near windows to receive sunlight, and fertilize it to promote healthier growth.
When placing the tree in an air-conditioned space
It's important to monitor the tree regularly because if it stays humid for too long, white spotted fungus may appear on the stem, which can be wiped off with a cloth or treated with a spray bottle of diluted dish soap to kill the fungus. Avoid placing it in the bedroom as the tree may deplete oxygen, posing health risks to occupants.
