How do you turn a money plant into a bush?
Question:I don't have a trellis for it to creep on, and would like it to grow like a bush. What should I do?
Answers:
Money plant by nature is a creeper.to prevent upward spread & encourage more lateral growth ,you meed to limit the upward growth by cutting / niping the tip of the plant,later you will notice many side shoots,these in turn will need nipping when they tend to grow higher than you want,this way lateral growth can be encouraged ,As suggested if you wish to keep the natural upward growth,a stake of any sort is fine failing a trellis.
Trim of the tips, if you don't allow it to grow upwards it'll grow outwards.
Stake it with a pole like stake and keep clipping the tops off.
You could stake it with an old broom handle or something similiar.
