I too was wondering about money tree.... aka the Jade Tree

Just looked on google and this also came up under Money Tree. ( Zamioculcas Zamifolia) Guess theres two types...

The money tree is slightly toxic.

I have seen these missed marked or identified before, though.

slighty toxic? that dont sound healthy? he dont chow down on it and he dont seem to be aacting different or displaying any different habbits.

i hav just started to water it a lot lately and is is growin like a weed.

I have seen multiple plant species called 'money tree'. I'm not sure if this was a mistake by nurseries or if there are multiple plants using the same common name. I recommending knowing the true name of the plants you use.

Brad I hope you check this one...
