The one is a money tree. I've had mine for three years and it's been really easy. I'll water it consistently on a weekly basis. Just enough to moisten the soil and deeply water it once a month. This has worked for me, because it started to express sap on it's leaves and cutting back on deep watering seemed to have helped. It's been in a south facing window. I haven't done anything special, other than trimming yellowing leaves and pruning it on occasion. I repotted last year. Wish you luck, they're really gorgeous!

What are the spots on its leaves ?

I'm not sure. I haven't seen that with mine. I might be wrong and it could be something else, but to me it looks like water spots/rings. Maybe try cleaning the leaves with neem oil. Do leaves feel dry and not fresh/soft? That could be a sign of underwatering or it not liking tap water. Others please chime in, if I'm wrong or with other thoughts and suggestions.
