Ficus Ginseng doing well?

Question

Do these new tall leaves mean it is pot bound, happy, or needs more light? #ficusginseng

I've had this plant about a month and about a week or so ago it started growing babies, now their huge!! Is it doing okay?

This looks more like a money tree than a ficus ginseng. See pics of a money tree. They grow by sprouting stems up then leaves grow on the stem like an umbrella.

The first pic is of my ficus ginseng.  The second pic is of my money tree, Guiana Chestnut tree.  That should help you with identifying your tree.  But looking at your money tree she looks very happy! ❤️

@Plantaholic78 I totally agree with @SelfmadeSalsify your plant is definitely not a Ficus Ginseng, but a Money tree. And it seems to be quite healthy!

@Araceae · Answer

I don't see Ficus Ginseng, only Pachira aquatica.

Anyways that growth looks normal, they tend to have new growth higher. The leaves will eventually grew larger so it looks more normal

@Plantaholic78 Oh good, I’m glad you figured it out.  It can be tricky sometimes to get the correct ID.
