How to care for and water a lucky money tree
Today's tip sharing: tips on caring for and watering a lucky money tree, as well as explanations on pruning methods for this green plant. Next, let me introduce to you.
Due to its auspicious meaning, the lucky money tree is liked by many people. Since our ordinary people consider the symbolic meaning of anything they choose, whether it's for home, office, shopping malls, or restaurants, the first choice for planting green plants is the lucky money tree.
Many people lack experience in planting lucky money trees, resulting in unsatisfactory planting results. After all, the cost of planting it is relatively high, and it's not possible to try multiple times to practice, so people gradually lose confidence in it. In fact, planting a lucky money tree is simple, and it can be easily cared for by mastering these methods.
Before introducing the planting methods, it's necessary to understand its living habits. Only by understanding its characteristics can we nurture it appropriately. The plant of the lucky money tree is taller than other similar plants. It has a distinct feature of thick roots and a straight trunk, with no tree-like scars on the surface, looking like edible yam.
Another prominent feature is that the top of the trunk will grow many thin and long green branches, which look like they are directly inserted into the trunk, making it very characteristic. Although the trunk is thick, it has very few roots, as if it cannot continuously supply nutrients to the plant.
How to care for and water a lucky money tree
The first thing to pay attention to when planting is to provide it with soil that has very good ventilation. If conditions allow, you can buy special sand soil, but it can also be made by yourself. You can add some coal residue to nutrient-rich black soil, and this loose soil is then created. Many friends think that the soil used by farmers to grow vegetables is also very nutritious, but this is a misconception. This soil, due to repeated use and excessive pollution by nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, has poor activity and is not suitable for planting green potted plants.
Secondly, ensure reasonable watering and correct watering methods. The lucky money tree does not require much water and will not die even in very dry conditions. However, if there is too much water, the roots will turn black and rot within two days, making it difficult to save. Before watering, check if the soil is very dry. If you can easily crumble the soil with your hands without it sticking to your hands, it's time to water. If you really don't know when to water, it's better not to water at all; wait until the branches and leaves turn yellow before giving it additional water.
The last thing to emphasize is the issue of fertilizing. Although it has thick branches, it doesn't mean it needs a lot of nutrients. When fertilizing, do not add too much, as it can easily burn the plant. Because the root system of the lucky money tree is not developed, if fertilized too frequently, it cannot consume it in time, and the pH of the entire soil will change, which is very harmful to its growth.
