Wondering what I should do with this money tree, should I prune it? Twist it higher up?

First off, that’s a Beautiful Money Tree! 💚 I actually wouldn’t twist the upper growth. The braid was created while the stems were young and flexible; twisting the more mature growth could damage or stress the stems. I’d let it grow naturally and only prune the longest shoots if you want a fuller, more balanced shape. It looks happy and healthy as is! 🌿

I agree, it’s beautiful, let it do it’s thing.
