Do not use shears that have already been used on plants that have any diseases or pests, as they can then transfer to the tree. Clean the shears with water or use a different pair of shears just for the money tree.

Pruning the tree at the V-shape will ensure the tree maintains its shape and growth.

Do not remove too many branches or leaves, as this can stunt the growth of the tree. Remove a little at a time, rather than a lot of the tree at once.

Water the tree less during the winter months so it does not develop root rot.

Water the money tree well after you repot it to encourage growth. You can submerge the entire pot in a tub of water or use a watering can to water the roots well.
