@hannahchristine in nature they grow 50-60ft tall! In houses they grow to however big your pot will allow them.

My husband got this for me for Valentine’s Day. I love it! It’s loving it’s spot on my living room plant shelf. It came with a load of fungus gnats so I used a bit of hydrogen peroxide and some sticky tape to beat them. In a week or so I’ll repot it in better soil and add a drainage hole to the pot. #moneytree

It just kills them! I pour it all around. Probably 3 tablespoons worth. I watered it lightly after a few minutes. It kills the larvae instantly. The sticky tape works wonders on the adults. @kylers
