Let's see how to cultivate a money tree in detail.The money tree is a very beautiful ornamental plant, but many flower enthusiasts often can't grow it well. After buying it, the roots rot or the leaves turn yellow and wither after a short period. To grow a money tree well, it is indeed necessary to master certain maintenance skills. Although it looks robust, it is very delicate and prone to problems with slight improper care. Here are four tips on how to care for a money tree. Master these tips, and you can make it grow lush.Avoid direct sunlightThe money tree grows well in a semi-shaded environment and is afraid of direct strong sunlight. If it is gradually exposed to sunlight, the plant can slowly adapt. If kept indoors for a long time or just bought, placing the money tree directly in the sun can easily burn the leaves, causing the branches and leaves to wither.For a potted money tree kept indoors, it should not be placed in direct sunlight, as it can harm the plant. However, not seeing sunlight for a long time is also not good for the plant's growth, causing yellow leaves and other phenomena. It can be moved to a place with scattered light, allowing it to receive some weak scattered light to meet its growth needs.Control wateringWe know that the money tree loves a humid environment, but it is also afraid of water. Most of the money trees with rotten roots during maintenance are caused by improper watering, so watering is a very important aspect of caring for a money tree.Don't be fooled by its robust appearance; its roots are not well-developed, mostly having only a few fine roots with weak absorption capacity. When the potting soil is moist for a long time, it can easily lead to root suffocation and cause root rot and yellow leaves.Therefore, when watering a money tree, do not water it too frequently. Only water when the potting soil is not dry, following the principle of "watering when dry and wet, and a cycle of dry and wet."Fertilize moderately and frequentlyIn the process of growing a money tree, excessive watering can easily cause root rot, and improper fertilizing can also damage the roots. Therefore, fertilizing reasonably is also very important to avoid root damage and promote plant growth.When fertilizing a money tree, follow the principle of "moderate and frequent application," which means applying a small amount multiple times. Do not put unfermented fruit peels, eggshells, or tea dregs in the flowerpot. During the growing period, it can be watered with some dilute liquid fertilizers, such as fermented rice water, milk water, or fruit peel water. If you have many flowers at home, you can also prepare a bottle of plant nutrient solution and water it once or twice a month to make it grow lush.Prevent frostbiteThe money tree is a plant from the south and has poor cold resistance. In the north, it is often frostbitten, causing the entire plant to wither. In winter, move it indoors for maintenance, keeping the temperature above 10 degrees Celsius. In low temperatures, the plant can easily develop yellow leaves and shed leaves.When caring for a money tree in early spring, do not move it outside too early. The temperature at this time is very unstable, with large temperature differences between day and night. If not careful, the plant can still be frostbitten. Wait until after Qingming Festival when the temperature is stable before moving it outside.Actually, it's not difficult to grow a money tree well. Just understand its growth habits, then water and fertilize it reasonably, and avoid direct sunlight to prevent root rot and yellow leaves, allowing the plant to grow lush.The above experience and knowledge on how to grow a money tree and related tips brought by the Green Enthusiast Network are hoping to provide you with some help after reading this article!
