My plant is green but a little droopy. Any suggestions on perking it up?

This was not a good choice for me. Ours is the same with nothing helping...I bought two; only one is left and barely alive. I went with bamboo and was very pleased.

Hi Sandra...wish I knew the answer to your question....but I, too, am having trouble with my Money Tree looking a little droopy. I have noticed the very tips of the leaves are turning brown....I purchased this plant in June 2013 and I don't know if I should try repotting and buy some fertilizer for it....the pot measures 5.50" x 4.00" (oval size)...and it does look to be too small. My plant is now 9 months old and has grown to 16".....I'm not sure I have it in the right space....I have it in front of a window that faces South, but the window isn't very bright due to the patio overhang. I know this e-mail hasn't answered your question...but thought I'd let you know that I, too, am wondering what is my next step....good luck, TJ

I put mine in the plastic lined basket and it seems to stay moist longer. Hope that helps.

I must say, I was disappointed in my plant. Grew plenty of green but only 3 flowers. They do not like drought. They like moist soil and humidity and don't even begin to bloom until there are warm nights. I live in southern California in an area that has cool nights. I also planted it as a hanging basket, so that may have been the problem. Contact Renee's Gardens. She will help you as she is the one selling the seeds

Not yet, they are nice plants, very small and I live in high humidity warm area so I would think any area if you have a green house

I would actually recommend getting a bubble counter on top and then that way you wont put too much carbon dioxide, but no it shouldn't as long as you have more plants with enough lighting you will be fine

I can't help you but can say you've been lucky to keep your plant alive. I've ordered wintergreen 4 times and planted it outside. It has never come back in the following year. I suppose calling Hirt's Nursery would be a good idea -- they can probably give you advice as to soil type. This is a woodland plant, so maybe it needs a super-acidic soil mix.

Break up the dirt and put some new topsoil in it to thin out the preen.You will best to do this now and then see how your plants will do next spring.

No The white on the plant is the from the trichomes, little white hair like structures. The plant is always light greenish white. It will be more green after watering.

This is my first year with this plant but it sounds like it may not be getting enough water/food. Something is really wrong. Check to see if the stem is broken at ground level. If it is just bury the broken part under the soil and it will take off. Maybe check of something eating the plant.

I just planted mine in miracle grow potting soil like I always do and kept them in sun light. When the soil is dry I water it. Also when they start to droop that also means they need a little water.

Yes, you will need to transplant it to a larger pot (I used a 5 gallon bucket with lots of holes drilled in it). But wait a few weeks before you do; the shipping process is stressful on the plant and so is re-potting, so give it some time to recover. Also, DON'T OVER WATER! I made this mistake, thinking I was pampering it; I nearly killed it. Never soak the soil fully just get it all evenly damp, let the soil dry out almost completely before you water again.

This houseplant vitamin is awesome and works great in any medium, including water, soil, water beads, etc. However, it sounds like your plant is in overwatered soil. Is that possible? If so, let it dry out "just" to where the leaves start to lose their stiffness and then water with Miracle Gro Root Stimulator. Then in a couple of weeks, start feeding with the Miracle Gro liquid houseplant food, 1 capful to a gallon of water and make sure your plant has good drainage so it isn't sitting in saturated soil. You might transplant your plant to Miracle Gro water control potting soil. That might help as well. I use Miracle Gro products on all my plants and I'm said to have a "green" thumb. Let me know how it goes. This houseplant vitamin is awesome and works great in any medium, including water, soil, water beads, etc. However, it sounds like your plant is in overwatered soil.

We used it this year in an area with NO grass- planted in March and reseeded a few weeks ago and it is full and soft and green! Just be sure to water a lot :) Good luck!

Just turn the compost every few weeks. Shouldn't be a problem. Check your ratio of brown material to green.

So far after several months my plants are still green under the shade. They get some afternoon sun but not under the whole area.

Mine still only has 5-6 leafs, and they like sun. But not direct sunshine I would suggest. The leafs grow towards sunshine, so just orientate them in a way you like.
