Dealing with the leggy growth of the money tree
The editor introduces you to the knowledge of the woody flower money tree, the dealing with the leggy growth of the money tree, and the editor will introduce it next.
The majority of reasons for the leggy growth of the money tree are usually due to weak lighting in the breeding environment, excessive watering, and a long growth period.
The leggy growth of the money tree seriously affects its ornamental value, and pruning is generally used to handle it. Pruning mainly involves removing the leggy branches, leaving only 3-4 buds at the base of the robust branches, or leaving about 10 centimeters, and cutting off all the upper branches. Note that all branches on the whole plant should be pruned, and the weak branches should be cut from the base because they have weak germination ability and compete with other strong branches for nutrients, so they cannot be left.
After pruning, the branches should not be rained on or sprayed with water to prevent rot. Place the pruned money tree in a relatively bright place or under the shade of a tree. Watering should be controlled because without leaves for transpiration, the plant requires less water. Excessive watering can rot the roots and lead to the failure of pruning and rejuvenation. Before germination, you can apply 1-2 times of compound fertilizer with a nitrogenous focus, such as a 20-10-10 compound fertilizer. And during this period, water with a fungicide to prevent root rot, such as a systemic 50% carbendazim wettable powder diluted 800-1000 times. After a month, the small branches will grow to about 5 centimeters, and they may be ready for viewing in two months.
The top of the money tree has a distinct dominant advantage. If not pruned at the appropriate time and height, the plant will have few branches and continue to grow upwards, affecting its ornamental value. Under normal circumstances, pruning can be done every spring, cutting the top of the plant to the desired height above the braid according to personal preference. Pruning can also be combined with potting changes, cutting off the top bud to promote more branching and thickening of the stem base.
The above is a specific introduction to the dealing with the leggy growth of the money tree for netizens to refer to and learn from.
