The Money Tree prefers bright indirect light. In too little light, new stems will grow thin and weak and the plant will be more prone to root rot. Avoid placing the Money Tree in direct sun which may burn the leaves.

The Money Tree is adapted to growing in wetlands in the wild, which means this is a plant that likes water and is resistant to overwatering. However, it is still important to make sure that the roots are not soaking in water or soggy soil for an extended period of time, or else root rot may occur. As a rule of thumb, allow the top inch or two of soil to dry in between waterings. Watch for leaves turning yellow as a sign of overwatering.
