Hello,
I've had this plant for 4 years now, and I'm not sure what to do with it. The plant is a money tree, and the floral tape and wire there is to prevent the trunk from leaning too much. There is a spot outside to place it, but due to Florida weather I've been afraid of leaving it outside for fear of its pot getting flooded from rain. It is in a pot that has drainage holes, but that only helps so much.
Also, the trunk appears unsteady. When I pull it away from the window it's currently leaning against, it leans heavily to one side and I don't know if it will topple over or snap with a stiff breeze outside. Do I risk moving it outside, perhaps with more soil? If not, what other suggestions do you have? I live with cats who like to eat the leaves if they can access it, so keep that in mind. I don't want to trim/prune if I can help it, but it's about to outgrow the window at this point.
