We have had a moist fall; I brought the "flowers" in and have them sitting in dry bucket to dry; a slow process
Is there an easy way to remove the outer layers? right now it is tedious, one by one. I had hoped they would dry and fall off by themselves <g>

We always gathered the money plant and hung it upside down to dry. If the husks don't fall off, they can be easily removed by rubbing between thumb and forefinger.

thanx, I must have 50 stalks; when I rub the pod between fingers, it does work, just VERY time consuming.
The stalks are dry, it's just getting the shell off that is tedious
