Hydro & Self-Watering Care

This plant is grown in a self-watering hydro setup, so care is slightly different from a regular soil-grown Money Tree.

The reservoir helps supply moisture gradually, which means you do not need to water as frequently.

Watering Frequency

As a general guide:

• Check the reservoir around once a week
• Refill only when the water level has dropped significantly or the reservoir is nearly empty
• Avoid constantly keeping the reservoir completely full
• Let the water level come down naturally between refills
• In brighter or warmer conditions, the plant may use water faster
• In cooler or lower-light conditions, it may need topping up less often

The key is steady moisture without keeping the roots permanently saturated.

Good to Know

With hydro-grown plants, it is normal for watering frequency to change depending on:

• light levels
• air-conditioning
• temperature
• plant size
• season and growth rate

Rather than watering on a fixed schedule, use the reservoir level as your guide.
