Welcome to the family! That’s a great looking collection.
To get you started off right, at your earliest convenience gently dig down a couple inches at the base of that braided money tree and if there is anything binding it together under the soil remove that. Doing that will save you from a lot of future issues.
Nurseries bind the plants to help them stay together when they are young, but as the plant matures eventually the band will start to restrict it and cause all sorts of problems.

@HeraMonstera I didn’t find anything down below but I was curious to know about the binding just about the top braid. Should I remove that? I’ve gotten mixed opinions about it.
@Blank_Canvas it doesn’t look overly tight. It’s probably not harmful, but if the braid is holding together on its own then it’s also not necessarily doing anything. If it was digging in or if the trunks looked unhealthy I’d say remove it. Removing it now is likely more of an aesthetic choice.
You could try untying it to see if it stays together. If it doesn’t you can tie it back on, just make sure it’s loose.
