How to propagate a money tree

Do you know about these? The following is a detailed introduction to the content related to money tree propagation and money tree propagation method illustrations in the aspect of green plants and flowers:

The money tree is one of the most common potted plants in homes, with a certain ornamental value that can make a house look pleasant. However, most people do not know how to propagate money trees. In fact, the methods are very simple. By following the money tree propagation method illustrations, you can turn one pot of money trees into multiple, and each will grow lush and leafy. Let's learn about it together.

【One, How to Propagate Money Trees】

<1, Division Propagation>

Division propagation is one of the simplest methods of propagating money trees. It can be done when the indoor temperature reaches above 18 degrees Celsius. It is best to choose well-growing money trees for potting propagation, as this greatly increases the chance of survival. First, clean all the soil from the bottom of the plant, then split it from the weaker middle part, apply sulfur powder or wood ash, and then pot it separately.

This completes the division propagation. However, be careful not to plant the seedlings too deep when planting; just cover the leaf stems with 2cm of soil. Additionally, considering the characteristic of money tree tubers that have dormant buds, large single tubers can be cut into smaller pieces with 2-3 dormant buds, and after the cut pieces grow into independent plants, they can be potted separately.

<2, Leaf-cutting Propagation>

Select healthy leaves from the money tree plant, including the petiole, disinfect the leaves, and then proceed with leaf-cutting propagation by inserting them into a pre-prepared nutrient-rich soil or placing them on the back of the flower pot for cultivation. Note that watering should only be done when the soil is dry, as excessive moisture can easily cause the money tree leaves to die.

How to propagate money trees

Usually, after three months of cultivation, the money tree leaves will take root and sprout. At this point, you can repot them using standard nutrient-rich soil and add a little base fertilizer. Be careful not to let the temperature get too high to avoid withering. Watering should maintain a state of "better dry than wet," and the soil should not be too moist. Make sure to water thoroughly until water comes out of the bottom of the pot.

<1, Seedling Selection>

First, you can cut a small leaf section from a lush money tree. This propagation method is very similar to leaf-cutting propagation. In terms of rooting effect, cuttings with leaves and leaf axes have faster rooting speed, higher germination rate, and are more likely to develop larger tubers.

<2, Cultivating Seedlings>

Insert individual leaf seedlings into a mixed substrate of river sand and, after careful cultivation for dozens of days, you will find that they will gradually take root and sprout. After more than two months of cultivation, small plants can grow, but generally, the chance of mature seedlings is not very high.
