Do you mean she’s bending towards the light source?

#### Bret replied on 2026-03-11

Well she WAS under a grow light....kind of on both sides so not sure why she would be growing that way and not more even. So I moved her to the mantle not under the light 🤷🏻

That might be how she grows... wait a while and see if her leaves spread out as they grow

#### Bret replied on 2026-03-11

She just never grew like that when I first got her. I moved her to a new home and we shall see, I guess

Best of luck to you both on your new home journey…

Sooooo these Chinese money plants are slightly known for this. They’re so pretty in the beginning but they eventually grow really weird and end up not being the most visually appealing 😅.

I've always seen them look so good and full and beautiful. But if a plant is "known" for something, mine is likely to do it with the luck I have 😂
