The first potted green plant that Hua Hua chose was not the Epipremnum aureum, but the money tree, also known as "money string" in the elderly, which is a good omen for attracting wealth and treasures. After all, this type of green plant is easy to care for, and both the elderly and children like it, so it was bought home.
The money tree not only has a good name but also a good meaning, and many people like to keep a pot at home. However, there are actually four common mistakes when caring for a money tree that we should pay attention to. Remember four mnemonics, and even beginners can handle it with ease.
One, it is shade-tolerant but not shade-loving
The money tree is shade-tolerant but not shade-loving. Do not keep it in a shady place all the time, as this is not conducive to its growth. It is usually enough to place it in a place with scattered light.
Whether the money tree lacks light can actually be seen from the leaves. If the money tree is not short of light, the leaves are thick and hard, giving a shiny and lustrous appearance. Of course, when the money tree lacks light, the leaves will become thin, and the color will not be emerald green. Sometimes the leaves will even fall off from the bottom, and there may be yellow leaves. Therefore, when we cultivate a money tree, it is best to place it in a place with sufficient sunlight, but not in direct sunlight.
Two, wilted and soft leaves are not due to lack of water
Sometimes, the leaves of the money tree at home may look wilted and soft, leading to the belief that the plant is short of water. However, this is not the case. The leaves and stems of the money tree can store a lot of water. Wilted and soft leaves are more likely due to excessive watering. Therefore, we should control the amount of watering. Generally, it is fine to water when the potting soil is very dry. The money tree at Hua Hua's home is watered only once every half a month and still thrives.

Three, afraid of cold, not cold-tolerant
The money tree is quite afraid of the cold. Generally, it needs to be placed indoors for planting in autumn and winter, especially in the relatively cold seasons in the north. It is necessary to move the money tree indoors in early autumn.
The money tree is suitable for maintaining a temperature above 10 degrees Celsius. And once the temperature drops below minus 2 degrees Celsius, the money tree will stop growing. Therefore, warming measures are very necessary, such as wrapping it with plastic wrap to keep warm.
Four, no need to fertilize in winter
Although the money tree is easy to care for, fertilizing is still very necessary. Generally, when winter approaches, the money tree should not be fertilized anymore, especially not throughout the entire winter. Winter is its dormant period, and as long as it is watered appropriately, it can survive well.
The money tree attracts wealth and treasures. Placing a pot at home is liked by both the elderly and children. It is also important to pay attention to the above four "common mistakes." Avoiding these mistakes will make your money tree naturally lush and green. Hua Hua is quite fond of the money tree. Do you like it too?
