People keep money plants inside and some outside of their house according to their beliefs but they forget to care for them inside the room. 

First, let's understand the challenges people face-
  • Without proper ventilation, the plant starts to get dry, despite providing it fresh water for a certain period.
  • The appearance of white and yellow spots(sometimes brown and black) on green leaves.
  • Fading of green leaves for all day.
  • Impact of humidity and high temperature on plants.
  • Unusual use of fertilizers and chemical pesticides by misleading.
Now, let's understand how to prevent and handle these challenges and mistakes-
  • Provide all the plants proper ventilation inside the room. You can keep them near a window with ventilation. 
  • From outside your room, don't let them in direct sunlight for more than 4 hours, especially in the afternoon time.
  • If your plants getting unwanted spots on leaves, you can cut those portions or check the pH of the water. If pH is below 6.9 or more than 7.1 then change that water with a pH range of 6.9 to 7.1.
  • If the money plant is getting dry, then feed a new cutting inside your glass pot with existed one. You can change the pot with a bigger one and let both plants grow at the same time. Despite, if you are not satisfied with it,  you can plant a cutting in a new pot and it will grow till the existing plant will get totally dry.
  • Don't use any kind of organic or inorganic fertilizer water of money plant, instead, you can change the water. 
  • Don't use high calcium-containing water.
Training is a practical method, you can't learn it just by reading text but you can get an overview. 

Money plant in water decoration

For those people who want it to grow only just for decoration, they can use designer points, with lighting. Because the money plant is a vine plant, it is easy to fold or move its flexible stem.  But this kind of arrangement or decoration asks for a more secure and gentle work with money plant in starting stages.
