The editor will explain the cultivation methods of the lucky money tree and the experience of green plant maintenance in terms of planting methods and precautions. Here is a detailed introduction.
During the New Year and the Spring Festival, many flower enthusiasts like to raise some potted plants with good meanings and festive atmospheres to place in their homes. The lucky money tree is a plant chosen by many friends, as it is almost a must-have green potted plant for the home due to its lush green leaves, sturdy trunk, and evergreen nature. There are large lucky money trees and also mini ones, but the maintenance methods are basically the same. So, how to take good care of a lucky money tree to make it last longer and grow smoothly every year?
First, choosing the pot
Actually, to cultivate a lucky money tree well, especially for small potted ones, you must pay attention to the pot used. If the pot is too large and the plant is too small, it will not grow well. However, using a small mini pot to grow a lucky money tree can be beneficial. Why is that? The reason is simple: it doesn't need much water, especially when kept at home. If the pot is large, excessive watering can cause waterlogging and root rot.
If the pot is too large, you can change it to a breathable small pot in spring and autumn, whether it's a terra cotta pot or a plastic pot, with an open mouth, and it can be placed outside the window or on a balcony for more than a month.
Second, watering
The lucky money tree fears waterlogging in the pot soil more than dryness. Some friends who raise small potted lucky money trees can go a month without watering. In fact, the lucky money tree needs very little water in winter and also in summer, so these two seasons require less watering. At the same time, it should be placed in a bright area with scattered light, and it doesn't need much fertilizer, just a little in spring and autumn.

Third, keeping warm
The lucky money tree is very sensitive to cold and does not tolerate frost well. Therefore, in winter, it must not be kept outside or in very cold places with temperatures below five degrees. Maintaining a temperature above ten degrees is most suitable, and it should not be exposed to cold winds. Only by ensuring it is not affected by cold can it survive the winter.
If the lucky money tree is frostbitten or has root rot, you can gently squeeze the stem with your hand. If the stem is soft, it means it is unlikely to recover. If the stem is still firm, there is hope that it will continue to sprout and grow leaves. Also, avoid frequently repotting the lucky money tree. Although changing the soil will stimulate it to grow new roots, the process of growing roots will also consume some nutrients.
In summary, to cultivate a lucky money tree potted plant well, whether it's a large pot or a small pot, these three aspects must be paid attention to. These are tips known by flower friends who have grown lucky money trees. This will make our potted lucky money trees grow more lush and vigorous every year.
