How to care for a money treeFor most women, the explanation of how to care for a money tree and the planting techniques and cultivation management of green plants and flowers will definitely be helpful to you, let's learn about it together!The money tree is actually just a commercial name, its real name is Cyperus alternifolius, a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant with some tubers in the potting soil. The leaves sprout from the tubers and gradually grow into large leaves. Its leaves are lush green and evergreen, preferring soft lighting and having good adaptability. So, how to care for a money tree to make its leaves green and lush?Here are a few points to note when caring for a money tree at home:First, do not overwaterSince the money tree is somewhat similar to a succulent plant, with its leaf stems being fleshy and relatively drought-tolerant, it can survive in relatively dry environments. It fears constantly wet and waterlogged potting soil, especially when kept indoors with poor ventilation. Long-term moist potting soil can easily cause yellowing leaves, spots on the leaves, leaf drop, or even tuber rot and black rot disease in the soil. Therefore, the potting soil should not be watered too frequently.If the money tree you are growing is not too large, it is recommended not to use a pot with an overly large diameter, as this can lead to the potting soil not drying out easily and can cause root rot.Second, the lighting should be soft, not too strong but also not overly shadedIn the summer, exposure to direct sunlight can cause leaf burn, as it prefers sunlight but the sunlight is intense in summer and also strong in the spring. From noon to the afternoon, do not place it in a place with direct sunlight, as the leaves can develop spots or get sunburned. Instead, keep it in a shaded area with a little scattered light and soft lighting. Over-shading, with no light at all, is also not suitable. In other seasons and during winter, you can increase the lighting and let it get more sun.Third, pay attention to temperature changesIf the temperature is too high, you should cool down, shade, and maintain good ventilation. In winter, it should be placed in a warm room. Fertilizing should not be too thick or too much, with a thin fertilizer applied every two weeks during the growing season. This will keep its leaves healthy and green. In winter, do not let the temperature get too low; keep it in a warm place to avoid leaf softening and frostbite due to low temperatures.How to fertilize a money tree to make it grow betterTo encourage it to produce more leaves, we should change the pot every one to two years and add some organic fertilizer to the soil as a base fertilizer when changing the soil, such as sheep manure, chicken manure, or cake fertilizer. During the growing season, we also need to fertilize it regularly, using compound fertilizer or phosphorus-potassium fertilizer to make its leaves thicker and more lustrous and encourage the growth of new leaves.The above information about how to care for a money tree and its planting techniques and cultivation management is provided for netizens' reference.
