How to care for the succulent "Money Attracting Tree"
Today, I will explain in detail how to care for the succulent "Money Attracting Tree" and share some related experience on the cultivation and watering of the plant, with the following specifics:
The "Money Attracting Tree," also known as "Jade Tree Scroll" or "Cylinder Leaf Moon," is a small succulent pot plant that has become very popular in recent years. It symbolizes a continuous flow of wealth and prosperity. The plant has a dainty and full shape, with cylindrical, fleshy leaves resembling straws, and its leaf color is splendid, making it highly ornamental. In spring, if you pay attention to these small details, it will thrive, with its leaves turning "crimson red" and easily achieving a good state!
1. Maintain a certain temperature difference
The "Money Attracting Tree" is native to South Africa, prefers warm and dry conditions with plenty of sunlight, and is not very cold-resistant. When caring for it in spring, aside from promptly monitoring temperature changes and preventing "spring cold snaps," keeping the room temperature above 10 degrees Celsius is recommended. It's also important to increase the day-night temperature difference, which helps the plant thrive. During the day when temperatures are higher, you can place it on a sunny south-facing balcony, and at night, you can move it to a cooler north-facing balcony. Under sufficient lighting, maintaining a temperature difference of around 5 to 8 degrees makes it easier for the "Money Attracting Tree" to flourish. If the night temperatures are not too low, you can even place the plant outside for natural cultivation.
2. Ensure ample sunlight
The "Money Attracting Tree" is a sun-loving plant. If it is kept in a dark place for a long time, it not only fails to thrive but may also exhibit symptoms such as elongated and drooping leaves, faded leaf color, and a loose plant structure, greatly reducing its ornamental value. Therefore, in spring, make sure to provide it with plenty of sunlight. Sufficient light not only promotes photosynthesis and nutrient accumulation but also makes the plant more compact and vibrant in color.
3. Timely "acid supplementation"
The "Money Attracting Tree" prefers slightly acidic soil. If it is cultivated in alkaline potting soil for a long time, it will affect the plant's growth, leading to symptoms like yellowing leaves, withering, growth stagnation, and leaf drop. In severe cases, it may even cause the entire plant to die. Therefore, in spring, it's important to regularly water it with acidic water to maintain the soil's acidity, improve its structure, and promote better plant growth. As a succulent plant, the "Money Attracting Tree" has some drought resistance. If watered too frequently, it can easily cause root and leaf rot. So, when watering in spring, follow the principle of "watering when dry and keeping the soil slightly moist," avoiding long-term waterlogging.

4. Ventilation and fertilization
The "Money Attracting Tree" enjoys a well-ventilated growth environment. If kept in a humid, poorly ventilated room for a long time, it is prone to bacterial growth and disease infestation, which is not conducive to the plant's health. Therefore, in spring, maintain good ventilation, and when it's warm at noon, open the windows more to promote the plant's metabolism and respiration, reducing the growth of germs. Also, spring is a season when the "Money Attracting Tree" grows rapidly, and its demand for water and fertilizer gradually increases. As long as the temperature is suitable and the plant grows healthily, you can apply a thin nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound liquid fertilizer once a month to supplement nutrients and promote better plant growth.
In spring, to keep the "Money Attracting Tree" at home, just ensure it gets plenty of sunlight, maintain a certain temperature difference, occasionally water it with some acidic water, and it will thrive, with its leaves turning "crimson red," easily achieving a good state and attracting more wealth!
