Money Plant

Question

I was given a small plant as a housewarming present. The friend told me it was called a money plant. I have no idea what I am doing with it and cannot find it in your list of plants. It is doing fairly well but not great. The leaves look like a pot plant (which it is not). The trunk wraps around itself. Right now I keep it with indirect light and a 70-degree temp. It is growing like a tree, tall with leaves at top.

Answer 1

Money plant is a common name for a few different plant species. I believe what you have is a Money Tree plant (Pachira aquatica). This article should help with its care: http://www.guide-to-houseplants.com/money-tree-plant.html
