How to care for the roots of a lucky money treeToday, the editor will explain in detail how to care for the roots of a lucky money tree and related contents about the cultivation methods and skills of green plants. Below, the editor will answer your questions in detail.When growing a lucky money tree at home, either the leaves turn yellow or the seedlings do not grow. What is the reason for this? In fact, it is because we are not taking good care of the root system. If you want the lucky money tree to grow well, you need to learn "root care." Only when the root system is well cared for can it ensure vigorous growth, with larger leaves and a greasy green state all year round. Today, Xiaoqi will tell you about the four simple steps you need to take.1. Soil ventilationTo grow a healthy lucky money tree, the soil must be well-ventilated. This does not mean we have to use nutrient-rich soil for planting. Some large lucky money trees cannot be fixed in nutrient-rich soil when planted. We can use garden soil, but when using garden soil, we should mix half garden soil with half nutrient-rich soil, and then add some granules, such as cinder, volcanic rocks, cat's eye stones, or river sand. The particle size should be between 3 millimeters and 1 centimeter. That is, garden soil, nutrient-rich soil, and granules, each in equal parts by volume. This type of soil allows for good ventilation and water permeability without lacking nutrients, ensuring the roots of the lucky money tree can grow rapidly.2. Avoid water deficiencyTo prevent root problems, if the plant lacks water, the roots will dry out, and if overwatered, the roots will rot. Therefore, we need to master the watering frequency. The trunk of the lucky money tree is thick and can store nutrients, but the root system is not very developed, with fine roots. Under normal conditions, if the ventilation is good indoors or in the yard, we should water the plant when the potting mix is about half dry.If the ventilation is relatively poor indoors, we should water the plant when the potting mix is almost completely dry. This ensures no problems occur. Do not let the plant become too dry or the soil too wet before watering. Only proper watering can ensure the roots grow well. If the ventilation is poor and the soil does not dry out for ten days or a month after watering, it is easy to have root rot. Try to improve ventilation.3. Sufficient sunlightSunlight is essential for the growth of any plant. When sunlight shines on the trunk and leaves, they perform photosynthesis, creating nutrients. After these nutrients are produced by the leaves, they flow back to the roots. When the roots receive them, they grow new roots, which then absorb nutrients from the soil to supply the plant with branches and leaves. This is a cycle.If sunlight is cut off, the plant cannot perform photosynthesis, the roots grow slowly, or may not grow at all, leading to weak roots, poor nutrient absorption by the leaves, yellowing leaves, and stunted growth. Place the plant in a location with as much sunlight as possible, and do not need to shade it even in summer.4. Regular fertilizationFor the lucky money tree to grow well, it cannot lack nutrients. Fertilizing the lucky money tree is essential, just like eating for humans. Therefore, when choosing fertilizer, if you want it to grow quickly, choose one with a high nitrogen content and no lack of other elements, such as "Huaduo No. 10." If not available, you can use a general-purpose fertilizer, such as a balanced compound fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, or a general-purpose nutrient solution. Apply once a month, but do not make the concentration too high. As long as there are nutrients in the soil and they are watered regularly, the plant can absorb them and grow rapidly. However, do not fertilize when the temperature is below 10 degrees Celsius, as it cannot be absorbed.The lucky money tree is relatively easy to care for, with a thick trunk and drought resistance. Although it will not die from excessive drought, its roots will be damaged. If you want it to grow vigorously, remember the root care techniques and follow these four simple steps to ensure strong roots, green leaves, and a plant full of branches and leaves.The experience and knowledge shared above about how to care for the roots of a lucky money tree and the cultivation methods and skills hope to give you some help after reading this article!
