😦 I’ve had my Chinese Money Plant for a few months-- water it once per week or until the soil is dry. I feel like the leaves just fall off. It had two little baby sprouts that seem to have been like, “nope.” Now I’m down to this. I keep her in a well lit room, but not in direct sunlight. A neighbor suggested I put it out on my (covered) porch, but every guide I’ve read says to keep it indoors. Does it look healthy? Do I just need to be patient?

    Geez. What’s the science behind the smaller pot and deeper burial? And thank you for the insights, dollfarts & skull… heh (good band name?)

      As mentioned, if the pot is too big, the plant will put more energy into growing its roots to “fill out” the pot. Similarly, if the plant is too shallow, the roots will have to grow deeper in order to access the water stored in the soil at the lower levels of the pot.
