Chinese Money tree

Plant arrived very droopy and with a couple of broken stems, so a little disappointed as this was quite expensive for such a small plant. However, I’ve since watered it and trimmed the broken stems and placed it in a light south-easterly facing window and it is looking much happier! First time I’ve had one of these plants, so hopefully it will now thrive. Note: I’ve put it in a different plant pot to the one it came with.
