Cut it about three nodes up and it should split as long as you leave a few good leaflets. One of my branches broke when moving so I just chopped it and it spilt and has two nice branches now :)

Provide more sunlight! Plants tend to stretch to gain more light. Also use a bamboo or moss pole to support its base

Money trees have to be rotated regularly! I rotate mine every month or so, just a quarter turn. It keeps it growing evenly!

Just add a support rod to help I have seen people use bamboo and some string to hold it up so no need to get anything fancy unless you want to

Put it closer to the ground and put a shepherd hook in it, tie it to it

guys it’s so heavy turning it won’t do anything. it’ll just fall over to whatever side i turned it on. only thing i can do for now is prop it against the wall and find some stuff to replant it with

Idk if money trees propagate well tho tbh. If you want to try, put your cutting in a jar of water by a window. You may need propagating supplements for this plant tbh. Worth a try tho!

I’ve had success propagating these! Give it a nice little trim and you’ll have a happier plant and a new one too!
