The money tree is a plant from the tropical regions, originally from Africa, and was later introduced to China, so it is relatively easy to grow. However, many people don't know how to grow a money tree to make it flourish. In fact, the method of cultivating a money tree is simple. With careful maintenance, the money tree can grow robustly, and timely watering and fertilizing can make its branches and leaves flourish.
【One, how to grow a money tree to make it flourish】
The money tree is drought-resistant and does not require excessive watering during cultivation. Simply applying more fertilizer can make it grow more luxuriantly. However, it is also important not to over-fertilize, as too much fertilizer can affect the normal growth of the money tree and even cause root rot, so extra caution is needed.
And before cultivating a money tree, it is essential to choose the right soil. It is best to use slightly acidic soil, as this type of soil can meet the growth needs of the money tree, especially in the north where the soil is alkaline. It must be changed to slightly acidic soil; otherwise, the money tree will struggle to grow.
【Two, methods of cultivating a money tree】
<1. Watering should follow principles>
When watering a money tree, people can follow the principle of 'water only when dry and water thoroughly when watering.' Water once a week in spring and autumn, and every three days in summer (watering can also be replaced by misting, especially in severe winter). Each time, the amount of water should not be excessive, as too much water can also affect the normal growth of the money tree, and in severe cases, may lead to root rot and tree death.
<2. Temperature should be moderate>
The optimal growth temperature for a money tree is between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius. When the temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius in summer, use black netting to shade or mist to cool down. In winter, maintain a temperature above 10 degrees Celsius, preferably in a greenhouse.
<3. Maintain a semi-shady growing environment>
The money tree will have bright and lush leaves in a semi-shady environment. Under full sunlight, it usually loses its lush green color and appears yellowish-green or yellow. In full shade, it will not have a good green color and will appear dark green or brownish-green, with weaker growth.
<4. Fertilization management should be appropriate>
The money tree enjoys fertilizer and can be supplemented with a small amount of organic fertilizer when potting, such as soybean cake, peanut cake, vegetable leaves, and poultry manure. During the growing season, apply 1000 times the通用型 (universal type) fertilizer 'Flower Knows' 2-3 times. If applying organic fertilizer in water, dilute the organic fertilizer with water at a ratio of 1:20 and water it, then water with clean water the next day.
