Money plants are succulents and I think normal habitat is desert type conditions which can be hot during the day cold during the night with infrequent rain etc. In my experience they are very hardy and will tolerate under / over watering but they seem to do best in a conservatory or glass porch which get lots of light / sun. Feed with liquid feed during summer. You can tell when they are running out of water as the leaves start to go wrinkly - just water and they swell up again in a few hours. Once our plant 'settled' down in our glass porch it has flowered profusely every winter without fail - flowers come approx end October and last through to Feb. It does seem to go through a bad patch every year where it looks a little sorry (maybe my fault overwatering when the weather starts cooling down) but recovers no problem Pete "gary livingstone" wrote in message ...

I got to the bit about flowers and my eyes popped out! (almost). So I looked it up on Google. The beasts that I call money plants aren't a bit like Lunaria Biennis! Flabberghasted, I am! So what **do** you call those juicy succulents that grow neglected on kitchen windowsills, have fat round juicy leaves and propagate almost every time a leaf falls off into the compost?

The main fault is overwatering. Leave them dry out for weeks before give them a good drink. They prefer warm sunny positions. Mine flowered all winter (for the first time) when I removed it from artificial light during the long nights. |

Hi Liz
Try Crassula but I can't remember which one , probably "arborescens". Has little white flowers. thick succulent stems and leaves Every bit that breaks off is guaranteed to root and grow. Gets rather big and top heavy in a pot, which is when I tend to chuck them out and start again with a fresh bit Ted "LizR" wrote in message ... : "gary livingstone" wrote in message : ... : Hi hope this is the right place to post or can anybody point me in the : right : direction as to which NG to go to : the problem is i've got a money plant but it is not doing very well can : anybody give me any advice as to care of the plant or do they realy : reflect : your wallet : thanks in ad vance : : On Wed, 15 Oct 2003 22:03:26 +0100, "Pete" junk wrote: : : Gary : : Money plants are succulents and I think normal habitat is desert type : conditions which can be hot during the day cold during the night with : infrequent rain etc. : : In my experience they are very hardy and will tolerate under / over watering : but they seem to do best in a conservatory or glass porch which get lots of : light / sun.

I have had one for years and it spends its life on the floor in front of the patio doors. I think they suffer more from overwatering than under. I water mine once a week and feed it in the spring/summer. I usually water it from below, but sometimes I can't be bothered and do it from the top.
