How to cultivate a money tree
The editor introduces how to cultivate a money tree and the related introduction of green plant flowers such as cultivation techniques and management of the money tree, followed by a comprehensive introduction.
Many people have planted several money trees at home because the money tree has a good meaning. It canward off evil spirits and bring wealth. Everyone likes to place a few pots at home. To some extent, it can also purify the air, making it especially suitable for cultivation.
Key point: Money trees are easily damaged by low temperatures, so taking protective measures in winter is fine.
Today, I will introduce the maintenance methods of money trees from aspects such as light, water, and soil:
I. Light
Money trees like sunlight and are a light-loving plant, but they prefer moderate sunlight. The strong sunlight at noon in summer is not suitable, as it is too intense and can easily kill the plant. Ensure scattered light throughout the year. When direct sunlight is present, provide shading to avoid damage from solar radiation.
A lack of light will cause the leaves of the money tree to turn yellow and fall off, making it look lifeless. Therefore, it is necessary to provide adequate light.
II. Temperature
In winter, when the weather is cold and the temperature is low, money trees are prone to die. When visiting relatives during the New Year, you may find that many people's money trees are still growing well because they are in a greenhouse, where the higher temperature allows them to grow healthily, avoiding the threat of low temperatures.
In spring, move the money tree outside. If there are still cold spells or other natural disasters in spring, it can wait a while. Let the money tree stay in the greenhouse for a longer period.
In spring, there is more sunlight than in winter, so let the money tree get as much sunlight as possible, basking in the sun.
III. Watering
It is best to water in the morning. Do not water at night.
Money trees do not need much water, and watering once every half a month is fine. Even if you forget to water, they will not die from lack of water. Therefore, do not water too much during maintenance, or the leaves of the money tree will turn yellow and fall off. The root area of the money tree leaves should not accumulate water; you can change to some loose sandy soil to improve water permeability, so that the water does not accumulate at the bottom of the pot.
In the growing season, which is spring and autumn every year, water once a week. In summer, water once every half a week.
How to cultivate a money tree
Method to keep the leaf surface moist: Find a spray bottle, then spray water on the leaves of the money tree to keep them moist. Money trees have many leaves, so prepare more water.
In winter, water once every two weeks to keep the potting soil relatively dry. This can protect the roots of the money tree and promote its overall growth and development.
IV. Pruning
Money trees grow relatively tall and can be difficult to prune. Pay attention to several principles to avoid panic when pruning.
1. Prune off yellowed, poor leaves, and branches.
2. Prune off diseased branches, which are harmful to the money tree and serve no purpose if left on.
3. Prune off branches that are quite bare, as these branches do not grow leaves and will compete with other branches and leaves for living space and nutrients. It is best to cut them off as soon as possible.
V. Fertilizing
Many money trees have lush leaves but thin trunks, which may be because fertilizing was forgotten. Pay attention to applying some potassium fertilizer, and over time, the branches and leaves will be lush and grow stronger, and it might even bring good luck.
The above is a complete introduction to how to cultivate a money tree and the cultivation techniques and management of the money tree. I hope it can be helpful to you. Don't forget to visit the Green Plant Enthusiast website for more flowering experience and knowledge!
