Abstract: This article introduces the knowledge of raising flowers, focusing on the cultivation methods and precautions for the money tree. The following is a detailed introduction for you.
There is a lot of information about the cultivation methods and precautions for money trees online, but many gardening enthusiasts still struggle to grow them well after reading. In fact, the cultivation of money trees cannot be simply understood through theoretical knowledge; it requires practical experience and reasonable application to effectively digest this knowledge.
Since the title is about the cultivation methods and precautions for money trees, let's first discuss the cultivation methods, followed by the precautions.
1. Cultivation methods for money trees
Money trees cannot be cultivated simply by knowing how to care for them after purchasing. It is also important to select a healthy tree when buying, as most money trees are propagated by cuttings. Money trees naturally have underdeveloped root systems, and many potted trees already show signs of root rot. Moreover, most enthusiasts water their newly purchased plants excessively, which further exacerbates the rotting. Since money trees can temporarily rely on their trunks for nutrients, the rot may not be immediately apparent, and by the time it is discovered, it is often too late. Therefore, it is crucial to select a money tree with healthy roots.
Now let's discuss how to care for money trees. Money trees are relatively easy to grow, but they often die due to watering and ventilation issues. There are many articles online about the habits of money trees, so we won't go into detail here. Instead, we will directly discuss how to cultivate money trees.
1. Choose a location. Most money trees are kept indoors, including in offices. However, not all environments are suitable for money trees. Some enthusiasts may find a miraculous way to keep them alive regardless of the environment. It is recommended to keep money trees in a bright and well-ventilated area. Avoid moving them frequently and do not place them next to a television.
2. Choosing a pot. Some enthusiasts may find this confusing, but the issue is not about the pot itself. It's about avoiding pots that are too deep or too large. Some large potted plants use very deep and large ceramic pots, which are not suitable for money trees. Since money trees have underdeveloped root systems and these pots have poor breathability, overwatering can easily lead to root rot. It is suggested to use a method of placing a small pot inside a larger one to cultivate money trees, which can solve both aesthetic and积水 issues.
3. Watering issues. This is a confusing and complicated matter. Money trees are not tolerant of water, and their root systems are underdeveloped. Long-term积水 and moisture in the roots can cause rot. It is recommended that enthusiasts ensure their soil can quickly evaporate water before watering. Some soils may dry within a few hours, while others may remain moist for half a month or even a month after watering. Deep pots can easily lead to积水. There is no set rule for how often to water; it must be based on actual conditions. A lack of water can be remedied, but积水 cannot.
Enthusiasts can spray water on the leaves of money trees, but be careful not to积水. Watering should be based on actual conditions.
4. Fertilization. Money trees have robust stems and large leaves, and they grow vigorously, requiring a significant amount of fertilizer. For potted money trees, in addition to requiring fertile potting soil, all forms of top dressing should be stopped during the winter to prevent fertilizer damage to the roots, which can cause leaf yellowing or burning and make it difficult to restore the plant's original appearance.
5. Money trees have high requirements for temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too low or the humidity is insufficient, the tree may lose its leaves, and in severe cases, branches may become bare, which is not conducive to appreciation and may even cause the plant to die.
2. Precautions for cultivating money trees
This is a summary of the precautions. When cultivating money trees, pay attention to the following: 1. Ensure proper ventilation, 2. Avoid direct sunlight (diffused light is best), 3. Water based on the pot, soil, and dryness or moisture, not by time. 4. Use thin fertilizer, 5. Resist the urge to move the money tree or water it unnecessarily.
