These are toxic when ingested.  AESTHETIC Money Trees are native to tropical regions of western Asia and southeast Europe. They typically have multiple trunks braided together when they’re very young and continue to grow this way. Each trunk grows fanning leaves in clusters of five or more, creating a canopy effect over the thick green and brown trunk below. Over their life span of 10+ years, they can grow up to 6 feet, provided supreme indoor conditions.  HEALTH BENEFITS Active exposure to and care for plants has many proven wellbeing benefits, such as:  Lower stress levels Improved mood Superior mental clarity and focus The Money Tree removes many toxic chemicals from our air, including ​​trichloroethylene, benzene, and carbon dioxide. We’re able to breathe and sleep better air thanks to the oxygen it gives us. Dust the leaves regularly for optimal photosynthesis and shine.  SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATIONS Just as their name suggests, the Money Tree has long symbolized prosperity, wealth, and good luck.
