Such a lovely and easy going money plant i would highly recommend for new plant parent.Simple routines you need to follow.Give it water sufficient to keep top layer of soil moist.If there are arial roots mist them.

It is happy with or without sunlight.I will flourish equally in hanging pots in open balcony having sufficient sunlight or water filled jug put on your centre table in drawing room with less light.

If you want much bushier plant you can cut leaves near its node.Put those leaves in water.Once roots grow you can repot it.

Freely hanging long stems with pretty leaves look equally appealing.

Look at my Rapunzel.Isn't she pretty.

 

I sometimes feel you just fall in love with your money plant and then this a lifetime relation.
