Then, leave one to two leaves at the top of the branch, cut a diagonal section at the bottom of the branch, and apply a little rooting powder.

After propagating a Lucky Money Tree, to encourage rapid rooting, it is important to shade the potted cuttings and place them in a cool, dark area. It is also important to mist them with water to maintain soil moisture. Generally, the tree will root within about 20 days.
