You need "The House Plant Expert" by Dr. D.G.Hessayon. My copy is from the '80s still serves me well. I believe they (The expert series!) are available in garden centres, s/h bookshops,boot sales or check with your granny.

Just googled that and found out it's also called Money Tree. I think my tree is broken, no money coming out.... Very Happy
