Money Trees Are the Latest Trend for 2025
Plant trends come and go (think cacti on windowsills and ivies trailing from shelves), but Money Trees are here to stay. Their sculptural trunks and emerald leaves are just too decorative and special to pass up in most interior styles.
Our favorite thing about Money Trees is they thrive in bright indirect light and will take up most window spaces you have spare. It's an indoor plant you can showcase in living spaces and other rooms where the sun streams through.
Join us below to discover why Money Trees are the latest trend.
Sculptural Beauties
Money Trees have trunks that growers manually braid together, creating distinctive rope-like patterns that grow upward from their containers.
Your Money Tree's leaves form in palmate arrangements with five to seven leaflets per stem, spreading outward like green hands catching available light wherever placed.
Mature specimens reach impressive heights while maintaining compact profiles suitable for various indoor locations, including desks, shelves, and floor spaces.
The trunks thicken as they age while maintaining their braided appearance, with new growth emerging from the top of established patterns.
The easyplant Difference
easyplant's self-watering container has a water reservoir beneath the soil with a wick connecting your Money Tree to its water supply.
Capillary action - the same force that helps trees pull water from roots to leaves - automatically moves moisture from the reservoir to the soil. Your Money Tree receives consistent hydration without sitting in waterlogged conditions that damage roots.
Monthly refills completely replace daily watering schedules. The reservoir empties gradually as your Money Tree absorbs what it needs for optimal health and development.
Money Trees For Interior Design
Industrial
Money Trees bring life to industrial spaces where brick and metal might otherwise feel cold. Their soft green leaves create a welcoming atmosphere in your home, while the unique braided trunks perfectly complement industrial design elements.
Bohemian
Free-spirited bohemian rooms welcome Money Trees among layered textiles and collected objects. Distinctive shapes provide vertical interest among eclectic furnishings while contributing to lush plant collections that bohemian spaces often feature.
Mid-century modern
Money Trees complement mid-century modern interiors with their architectural quality and clean lines. Their structured growth patterns mirror geometric furniture designs popular during this era without competing with statement pieces.
Coastal
Seaside-inspired rooms gain tropical flair from Money Trees without overwhelming airy aesthetics. Height brings a vertical dimension to coastal spaces while maintaining relaxed feelings associated with beachfront living.
Japanese minimalism
Money Trees embody the precise balance that Japanese minimalist design seeks to achieve. Braided structures demonstrate intentional cultivation while providing necessary natural elements to spaces focused on simplicity and purpose.
Sizing Your Money Tree
You can buy an easyplant Money Tree in four sizes:
- Small Money Trees (12"-20" tall, including pot) fit perfectly on windowsills, desks, and shelves where space is limited
- Medium specimens (16"-24" tall, including pot) work well on side tables, kitchen counters, and low furniture for balanced visual impact
- Large money trees (30"-36" tall, including pot) make impressive floor plants for empty corners, entryways, and living spaces
- Huge varieties (40"-48" tall, including pot) serve as magnificent statement pieces in rooms with higher ceilings, transforming ordinary spaces with their presence
Money Trees As Gifts
Money Trees make thoughtful presents for nearly every occasion on your calendar. Their distinctive appearance offers immediate visual impact when unwrapped yet continues giving joy for years afterward.
Housewarming parties benefit particularly from Money Tree gifts as recipients establish new spaces with fresh energy. Office promotions deserve recognition with living plants rather than short-lived celebrations with cake and champagne.
Birthdays, graduations, and retirements all warrant considering these sculptural plants instead of traditional presents. Depending on your budget, Money Trees come in various sizes, from desktop varieties to statement specimens reaching toward the ceiling.
