Money trees are also good gifts for those with only limited time to devote to the plants. Money trees can grow in pots containing a sandy soil that uses a base of peat moss and which allow for proper drainage. They grow best in temperatures that are in the range of 65 to 85 degrees Faheinheit. They do not require large amounts of either light or water to continue to thrive, instead growing best in areas where there is indirect light and moderate to high levels of humidity. The tree will only need watering when the surrounding soil appears dry. This may be as infrequent as once a week or once a month.
