Hi Terry,

I bought mine in the flower market in Mongkok, Hong Kong. If you live in HK, then you may find it there. Else, you can check out your local garden nurseries.

Hi Alejandro,
My money plant does look like a Hydrocotyle indeed, especially the shape of the leaves. Thank you for your suggestion. Merry Christmas and Happy Gardening

Hi, I when I saw your money plant photos I knew the plant sounded very familiar to me… Then I realized, it looks just like (Hydrocotyle bonariensis). I mean its just too similar, I’d bet it’s a Hydrocotyle specie, you should check out. Hydrocotyle grows close to the ground and it doesn’t develop an erect stalk. Here I leav you a link of the plant in flower: http://www.duke.edu/~jspippen/plants/hydrocotyle-bonariensis061112-5965obxz.jpg
Or just google Hydrocotyle.
PS: if it happens to be it, well, don’t kill it, I mean, it’s a common plant but it has its beauty, and as you have seen it thrives well as an indoor plant.
Best wishes and Mery Christmas

I would think so too, that there are more than a few plants have the common name – Money Plant. And, let me rub the leaves of my money plant and see if it works

I have a money plant but it doesn’t look like yours! But then it is a house plant so perhaps that is just it’s common name. It’s supposed to bring you money if you rub it’s leaves. Hasn’t worked so far! Val
