How do I get our money tree to look or grow more like the ones you see when you search for them?
I assume it needs pruned in some particular way. Right now the one stalk is growing pretty good, but it seems like it’ll keep growing until it hits the ceiling.
I think it needs cut below the top four shoots, to make it grow two stems maybe, or be more bushy?
Any tips, insight, links, whatever is much appreciated.
Can you share a picture of two of your ideal money tree?
Not two pictures but here is one.
I get that this has multiple in one pot. Will the short stubby trunk grow taller over time or do I need to do something to help it along? Maybe that’s as tall as it will ever be.
I can’t really see the trunk in the original photo in your post (the one with the purple light) but the trunk I can see in the forefront of the picture above will never grow taller than where it’s been pruned.
Once you prune a “leader” (single, main branch/trunk) it will not grow taller, but it will split into branches going sideways (or some other direction.)
Once you prune a plant, it’s like putting a dam in a stream. The water will find other ways to flow, but not where the dam has been placed.
I will get a better photo of the trunk. I’m sad it won’t get any taller but good to know, thank you.
