    The Money Tree plant (Bombacaceae) Is more of a bonsai type houseplant. It will grow about 10ft. tall and the trunk is usually braided given it that bonsai look. This plant likes lots of indirect sunlight leave indoors Underneath a skylight or large window with blinds would be almost perfect. Most folks tend to over water this plant. If leaves start to drop and turn yellow you are probably overwatering. Let them dry out before watering again.

Use a good all purpose insect spray. We recommend Schultz's Houseplant Spray. Be sure the product is specifically labeled for both the pest and plant species.


    Clean your houseplants reguarly, remove dead or dying leaves. If your plant is over-infested with insects trash it. Make sure to wrap it in plastic and dump inside your garbage bin.
