Care Guide

• Light: Satin Money Plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight or in well-lit areas away from direct sun exposure, as too much sunlight can scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Water the Satin Money Plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring that excess water drains away to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
• Soil: Plant Satin Money Plant in well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape and prevent waterlogging.
• Humidity: Satin Money Plant thrives in moderate to high humidity environments. Increase humidity levels by misting the leaves regularly, placing a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles nearby, or using a room humidifier, especially during the dry winter months.
• Fertilization: Feed Satin Money Plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Pruning: Trim any leggy or overgrown vines as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp pruning shears to make clean cuts, and propagate any trimmed cuttings to create new plants.
