- If leaves begin to droop, place outdoor in full sun temporarily.
- Eugenia should be kept indoors during the winter months. They should be maintained at winter temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Fertilize your bonsai once every two weeks. We recommend using a bonsai fertilizer.
- To water your bonsai, water, wait a few minutes, and water again. Repeat this several times to insure that your bonsai has received a thorough watering.

- The Pachira Aquatica (Money Tree) is a very hardy plant that can withstand low light conditions and infrequent watering.
- We recommend watering the tree whenever the soil looks dry. Depending on the conditions, this may be once a week or once a month. However, the plant can still do well without much water at all.
- Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as this will cause the leaves to burn and turn slightly yellow.
- We recommend fertilizing your money tree with a liquid fertilizer.
- The money tree can be pruned by cutting off the stems, new growth will appear at the cut over time.
