Beautiful! You don't mess around do you. That's a challenging first house plant. Let me ask you a question or two. Does your pot have a drain hole in the bottom? As a person new to houseplants you may or may not know that it is very important that a plant has sufficient drainage. A money tree will do best with even moisture (watering when the top two inches of soil are dry) and good drainage. They also like humidity so you might want to add either a small humidifier or a pebble tray, I recommend the small humidifier. They also prefer slightly acid conditions but I think a good peat-based soil would you give you that so you should be fine. And lastly medium to bright indirect light. That really is a beautiful specimen I look forward to seeing what you choose as your second house plant.

Yes it does have a drainage hole at the bottom. It’s about the size of a quarter.

The soil I repotted it in is a for succulents and cactus miracle grow bag.

I didn’t know about the acidity part but I tried doing my research before getting the plant. I read it was a good beginner plant but then after I got the plant that’s when I started to see the posts about it being an advanced plant lmao.

When I repotted mine she had a LOT of roots I see videos where the roots are very little and small this one has so many it filled the pot and held the soil together
