Must-Know Before Buying
Note: This plant naturally has thin, delicate stems. It is carefully wrapped for transit, though it may arrive with a few snapped areas which can be safely trimmed. During the winter season, the plant may arrive less full than pictured. The tree's canopy will bloom and open up come spring.

After some water a beautiful plant.
When my daughter opened her gifted money tree plant, the plant leaves appeared weeping as if it needed water. Some leaves had fallen off, looked sad, but after some water and the following morning it perked back up.
