Most bonsai like to have plenty of water, but proper water drainage is key. This is maintained by two very important factors: soil and the pot.
The Ficus variety of the Braided Money Bonsai Tree prefers much less water than other plants. Once a week is sufficient. Some do well on as little as a cup of water per month, but the amount varies with the pot size and soil composition. Misting the plant is also another recommendation. It helps the plant leaves get extra moisture and keeps them free of dust. The soil in the pot, should be allowed to dry completely out before another watering. There are several ways to realize if the amount of water is adequate. If the plants leaves become droopy and yellow, this is a sign of too much water. When the leaves are wrinkly and curled up, this means you are not watering it enough. The Ficus variety Braided Money Tree just like a normal weeping fig tree requires a medium amount of sunlight. Indirect light is best, but a few hours in the direct sunshine if fine, making sure the area does not become overly hot. A corner that gets some sun and shade, is the ideal location. Being a native of a wet, hot region, the plant will not fare well when temperatures drop. If you keep the plant outside on the porch, you need to remember to bring it inside when the temperatures drop below 50 degrees. It is unnecessary to give the Ficus tree fertilizer, specifically in the bonsai plant size and style. The new soil that you use when repotting should be suffeicient to keep the bonsai tree healthy. Trimming the dead leaves and providing plenty of fresh air, will allow your Braided Money Bonsai Tree to live for many years.
