Gardening expert Tarun Chopra recommends using banana peel powder, thoroughly washed and dried tea leaves free of milk and sugar, diluted rice water, and vermicompost to provide essential nutrients and boost money plant growth.
Instead of pouring rice water directly into the pot, mix 1 part of the water used for washing rice with 4 parts of clean water. It is suggested to feed this mixture to the money plant at an interval of about 15 to 20 days.
Protect the money plant from harsh direct sunlight by placing it in bright, indirect, or filtered light. Avoid overwatering the soil and prevent water from accumulating in the pot's saucer to reduce the risk of root rot.
