How to cultivate the Money Tree
This article provides an overview of how to cultivate the Money Tree and related introductions about the planting and management of green plants and flowers. Let's explore together.
The first potted green plant chosen by Huahua was not the Epipremnum aureum but the Money Tree, also known as "Money String" by the elderly, which is a good omen for attracting wealth and treasure. After all, this type of green plant is easy to care for and is liked by both the elderly and children, so it was bought home.
The Money Tree not only has a good name but also a good meaning, and many people like to keep a pot at home. However, there are four common mistakes to be aware of when caring for the Money Tree. Remember four mnemonics, and even beginners can manage it with ease.
One, it is shade-tolerant but not shade-loving
The Money Tree is shade-tolerant but not shade-loving. Do not keep it in a shady place all the time, as this is not conducive to its growth. Generally, placing it in a place with scattered light is sufficient.
Whether the Money Tree lacks light can be determined by looking at the leaves. If the Money Tree is not short of light, its leaves are thick and hard, giving a shiny appearance. However, if the Money Tree lacks light, its leaves become thin, and the color is not emerald green. Sometimes the leaves fall off from the bottom, and there may be yellow leaves. Therefore, when caring for the Money Tree, it is best to place it in a sunny area, but not in direct sunlight.
Two, wilted and soft leaves are not necessarily due to lack of water
Sometimes, when the Money Tree at home has wilted and soft leaves, people think it is short of water. However, this is not the case. The leaves and stems of the Money Tree can store a lot of water. The wilted and soft leaves may be due to overwatering. Therefore, we need to control the amount of water. Generally, it is fine to water when the potting soil is very dry. The Money Tree at Huahua's home is watered only once every half a month and still thrives.
How to cultivate the Money Tree
Three, afraid of cold, not cold-resistant
The Money Tree is quite sensitive to cold and needs to be moved indoors in autumn and winter, especially in the relatively cold northern seasons. It should be kept indoors from early autumn.
The Money Tree is suitable for maintaining a temperature above 10 degrees Celsius. Once the temperature drops below minus 2 degrees Celsius, the Money Tree will stop growing. Therefore,保温 measures are necessary, such as wrapping it with plastic wrap for insulation.
Four, no need to fertilize in winter
Although the Money Tree is easy to care for, fertilizing is still necessary. Generally, no fertilization is needed when the Money Tree enters winter, especially not throughout the winter. Winter is its dormant period. As long as it is watered appropriately, it can survive well.
The Money Tree brings wealth and treasure. Placing a pot at home is liked by both the elderly and children. Pay attention to the above four "common mistakes" to avoid them, and your Money Tree will naturally be lush and green. Huahua likes the Money Tree very much. Do you like it too?
