How to cultivate a lucky money tree properly
Today, I will elaborate on how to cultivate a lucky money tree properly and share some tips on caring for this plant, which is part of the knowledge about flowers and plants. Next, let me introduce you to it.
Chinese people pay special attention to the meaning of the plants they cultivate. Raising a lucky money tree symbolizes hoping to become wealthy every year. However, it has unique care methods that require attention to soil, water, temperature, and sunlight, among other aspects. Especially when cultivating it in winter, the temperature needs to be above 10 degrees Celsius, or it should be moved indoors. If you need to repot it later, you can add a little specialized fertilizer.
1. Soil Selection
The lucky money tree is different from other plants; it prefers nutrient-rich, moderately moist soil, which can be garden soil, peat soil, or a mixture of decomposed leaf soil and coarse sand. People can also add some compound fertilizer to the soil to use as its growing medium.
2. Proper Watering
Watering depends on the state of the potting soil. If the soil is dry, you can water it a bit, or you can water it every other day. Do not water too much at once as it can easily cause root rot.
3. Cultivation Environment
The cultivation environment for the lucky money tree needs to be between 20-30 degrees Celsius. Even in winter, the temperature should be above 10 degrees Celsius and moved indoors to keep warm, otherwise the branches and leaves will freeze. When cultivating, the lucky money tree needs to be in a sunny place to grow better, such as a balcony. In summer, it is necessary to avoid sunny places to prevent the leaves from getting sunburned.
4. Reasonable Repotting
If the lucky money tree grows too large, it needs to be repotted. Only a larger pot can provide enough space for the lucky money tree to grow.
5. Appropriate Fertilizing
The growth of the lucky money tree also requires fertilizer. You can buy specialized fertilizer for the lucky money tree. During the growing season, you need to fertilize every half month to make it grow more fully and lush. Note that while ordinary fertilizers can also be used, their effectiveness is far less than that of specialized fertilizers, and the resulting leaves are not as full or green.
The above information about how to cultivate a lucky money tree properly and the tips for its care are all here for you to fully understand and refer to!
