| Hi there! I have had a money tree for almost a year now, and it has flourished! I mist it once or twice a week...and only water it maybe once a month. A couple of weeks ago, a couple of leaves turned browny white...and fell off, but since it seems to be doing great. But I noticed it sprouted some strange green lily pad looking like thing from the base. Any idea what this could be. I also noticed the other day a funny smell coming from around the tree....when I looked more closely, I saw little green things growing around the base. I picked at a couple of them, and realized that's where the smell is coming from. Any ideas what this could be? The tree itself is doing beautifully!! But it smells funny...and almost garlicky like smell! |

| How often do you change the water - the lily pad thing sounds like algae if it's in good sunlight. |

| Post a pic! And what do you mean by smells 'funny'? Other relevant questions: What kind of soil is it in? What size of pot is it in? What type of light is it in? My Pachira is outside, in dappled shade, and it's putting out three new leaves concurrently. Josh |

| Please post a photo of your money tree. I just bought one myself. I'm not very familiar with them or how to take care of them. Any advice? |
