How to cultivate a money tree
A comprehensive introduction on how to cultivate a money tree, including maintenance tips and precautions for green plant care. Let's find out together.
The money tree is ornamental and has a good meaning, so many people plant it at home. However, it is not that easy to cultivate well. Below, I will explain the cultivation methods of the money tree in detail.
1. Soil selection
The potting soil is mostly a mixture of peat soil, coarse sand, and a small amount of garden soil to make the potting soil slightly acidic. Because the corm of the money tree is large and the root system is developed, it is necessary to observe the growth of the money tree in time to decide whether to change the pot and soil. And during the plum rain season, it is necessary to check frequently whether there is water accumulation in the pot. Once water accumulation is found, it is necessary to turn the pot and change the soil to drain and ventilate the potting soil.
2. Watering method
The money tree prefers a moist but slightly dry environment, so when the indoor temperature reaches 33℃, it is necessary to spray water on the money tree once a day to keep the potting soil warm and slightly dry. Under normal temperature, the watering frequency is once every 7-10 days. In winter, it is necessary to prevent the potting soil from being too wet, as overly wet soil under low temperature conditions can easily lead to root rot, causing the whole plant to die.
3. Light requirements for money trees
The money tree likes light and has strong shade tolerance. During the cultivation stage of the money tree, it is necessary to avoid direct sunlight. In the strong sunlight around noon in summer, it is necessary to move the plant to a cool and ventilated position to prevent the leaves of the money tree from being burned due to excessive exposure to light.
4. Fertilizing method
During the growing season, the money tree needs to be fertilized 2-3 times a month, mainly with compound liquid fertilizer. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is necessary to stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and continue to apply 2-3 times of liquid fertilizer mainly containing potassium phosphorus to make the young leaf axes and leaves become hard and full. When the indoor temperature drops to below 15℃, it is necessary to stop fertilizing.
