Show me the money...
Anyone with a green thumb please help. Check out the before and after, yes one of our money trees is not doing so well. Nothing seems to work, we have been keeping its feet wet and exposing it to plenty of sun by the front door but we are having no luck bring it back to life. Please help us save our money tree.

I found a site with info, this was the most relevant response:

"The money tree also known as a jade tree is succulent which cannot tolerate over-watering. It is found in hot, dry areas which experience a huge drop in temperature at night. Though it rarely flowers indoors, but if given the right conditions, like the cacti, it can produce tiny star like flowers which are white/pink in colour. As a houseplant, they resemble miniature trees and require good light to grow though you should not expose a young plant to full sunlight. Because yours is fully grown direct exposure to sunlight shouldn't hurt. Allow the soil to dry completely in between waterings and do not spray mist the plant. Under-watered succulents will have 'crinkled' leaves and over-watered ones will start to turn soft and yellow and start to drop. Use a fertilizer specially formulated for cacti/succulents. This plant propagates easily with leafs planted with the bottom end in soil. This plant like all succulents is prone to mealy bug attack."

This is a link with all the responses on how to care for it, look at pascal or jimmydeans responses..
