# So I’ve been trying to propagate my money tree and for some time it’s…

_Posted by Jay on 2025-10-05_

So I’ve been trying to propagate my money tree and for some time it’s had these crystal like things since I started propagating it. It hasn’t developed roots yet. Do I need to wife down the crystals or leave it ? it’s not hard crystals, when changing the water some of the crystals come out. HELP😕

I don't really think theyre anything to worry about, the same thing happens to me and mine is fine. Good luck!

That's a type of mineral buildup that tends to form around new roots. You don't need to do anything about it
