Money Tree Plant

My sister's 2 house plants!  Look at how beautiful they are 😊  Sis says they grow very well by a window or a well-lit area. Definitely on my radar as the next plant I purchase, Lord willing.  I hope my local Costco warehouse offers it for sale one of these days. She got hers from Ikea.





The plant grows well in bright light, but also tolerates partial shade at room temperatures from 12°C through 25°C. A plant's leaves may turn yellow and fall when days are shorter in autumn which is not a sign of disease, and the plant will restart its growth without problem the following spring. A tree is mature when 4-5 years old. It produces its first fruit in spring and fall. Furthermore, it can withstand temperatures as low as 5°C without losing its leaves, although people recommended not growing it below 12°C as an orangery tree, the ideal culture temperature being about 20°C all year round with high humidity. An occasional weak frost can cause it to lose its leaves, and it grows new leaves in the following spring. -- wikipedia
