Care Requirements: 

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the plant to become leggy and the leaves to droop.

Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering can cause the leaves to wilt.

Soil: A well-draining potting mix is ideal. Adding some perlite or sand can help improve drainage.

Humidity: The Chinese money plant does well in average household humidity levels but appreciates occasional misting, especially in dry environments.
