@funcountess. This is the one i have in my planter. It was so sickly I almost threw it away but decided to stick it in the ground, and it like the spot. It's an evergreen plant, I don't fuss over it. Doesn't like too much water which is great because the other plants by it are jade plants. It doesn't get sun at all. Last winter when we have rain and strong wind, it lost all the leaves and I thought that's it. But look at it now! Usually they are indoor plants, the growers would braid the tiny stems before they get hardy. If you Google Money Tree you will find the botanical name. They are expensive online but here in Southern California, you can find them pretty reasonable in Asian markets. One year I even find a tiny bird's nest in my potted money tree. Double luck!!

@mayofeb2020, Would never suspect this lush producer was puny! Amazing and look at the size of those bright new leaves! Smart momma bird to nest in that "prosperous" plant...yes! dble luck...anyone know the history of the bird's nest in the X-mas tree? May have heard it at one time but gathered a nice collection of the hand crafted ones for our tree over the years.
