How to propagate and transplant the Money TreeAbout the propagation and repotting of the Money Tree, as well as some small experiences in green plant maintenance, including the division method and maintenance tips of the Money Tree. Corrections are welcome if there are any mistakes!Remove potting soil: Choose a vigorous Money Tree without diseases and pests, remove it from the potting soil, and remove the old soil.Divide and sterilize: Cut from the weakest part where the tubers are connected, then soak the divided parts in a disinfectant solution and let the wounds dry.Prepare potting soil: Mix soil that is loose, breathable, and rich in humus, and disinfect it before use.Planting in soil: Bury the top of the tuber 2 centimeters deep, and water appropriately after planting to keep it moist.Later maintenance: Provide a warm, ventilated, and shaded environment.I. Remove potting soilWhen propagating the Money Tree, choose a vigorous, strong, and disease-free plant. First, remove the plant from the potting soil, and remove the soil from the roots without damaging the newly emerging roots, otherwise, it will reduce the survival rate of the propagation. Also, prepare the tools to be used and disinfect them in advance to avoid bacterial infection.II. Divide and sterilizeWhen dividing the Money Tree, it should be done from the weakest part where the tubers are connected and where the leaves are relatively even, either dividing it into two or three parts. The divided Money Tree must be disinfected, with the roots soaked in a carbendazim solution or potassium permanganate solution for about 10-15 minutes, then removed and placed in a shaded, well-ventilated area to dry. Only plant in the soil after the wounds are dry.III. Prepare potting soilThe Money Tree has high soil requirements. To ensure a higher survival rate after propagation, pay attention to the soil mixing ratio. It is recommended to mix leaf mold, vermiculite, and garden soil in a 2:1:1 ratio. If conditions allow, add a small amount of base fertilizer to the soil to improve fertility. The prepared soil should also be disinfected, either with a disinfectant solution or by exposure to sunlight. Alternatively, you can purchase special Money Tree soil, which is more convenient.IV. Planting in soilAfter the wounds of the divided Money Tree have dried and the potting soil is ready, it can be planted in the soil. Make sure to control the depth, not burying it too deep, with the top of the tuber buried 2 centimeters deep. If the soil is dry, spray water appropriately to keep it moist. Do not rush to water thoroughly; water thoroughly about 5 days after planting.V. Later maintenanceThe Money Tree prefers a warm, well-ventilated environment and is shade-tolerant. First, maintain it in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Once the leaves become glossy or new leaves grow, return to normal maintenance, apply thin fertilizer frequently, and occasionally expose it to scattered light to promote vigorous growth.The detailed introduction shared above about how to propagate and repot the Money Tree and related division methods and maintenance tips, have you understood it?
