# Hi! New to money trees and keeping house plants alive in general! :)…

_Posted by Paola on 2026-08-29_

Hi! New to money trees and keeping house plants alive in general! :) I accidentally knocked this money tree over a couple weeks ago, and it seems to be doing fine. I just added more soil to it, put it in a slightly bigger pot, and cut out the rubber band around the roots. However, I’m noticing the leaves are coming in wavy looking? and growing in all sorts of directions? Will it be okay? Or could there be something I’m possibly doing wrong? Thank you!! (also I have a cat, hence the bite mark)

I got a money tree a while back twice and for some reason I do not have the green thumb for that plant ! Yours is beautiful!!!
