Sadly, keeping a Chinese money plant won’t make you rich, but its coin-shaped leaves appear to stack on top of each other as they grow, which is cute.
“It’s a quirky looking plant referred to by some as a friendship plant because it propagates so easily and quickly,” Wilson explains. The little plant will keep growing coins if it’s kept out of strong sunlight and drafts, and isn’t left sitting in water. So the best way to keep it alive is to let the soil dry out between waterings. Unlike with saving money, less is more here.
To propagate the babies, use a clean, sharp knife to cut out the offshoots, then pot in clean, moist soil. It should take root within a few days.
