Why can't the Fortune Tree be cultivated well?
Let me introduce to you why the Fortune Tree can't be cultivated well and the essential conditions and maintenance skills for growing a healthy Fortune Tree in the field of green plants and flowers. Let's learn about it together below.
Cultivating the Fortune Tree has always been a challenge. Many people have tried to grow Fortune Trees, but very few have actually succeeded, including flower enthusiasts in southern China. They often fail to grow them well after buying them home, either the leaves turn yellow or the tree does not grow, resulting in the waste of the money spent on the tree.
The climatic conditions in southern China are relatively more suitable for the growth and maintenance of Fortune Trees, at least better than the conditions in the north. The north is very dry, and the temperature drops in winter. Cold and dry conditions are fatal to the growth of Fortune Trees. Most Fortune Trees do not have problems in spring and summer, but issues gradually arise in autumn and winter.
Why can't the Fortune Tree be cultivated or survive?
The main reason lies in the quality of the plant itself. The roots of potted Fortune Trees are very weak and are all tiny capillary roots, which have poor absorption ability and are prone to rotting. Once the roots rot, there is basically no possibility of saving the tree, and it can only be discarded. Maintaining the activity of the roots in the early stage is crucial.
Why can't the Fortune Tree be cultivated well?
The Fortune Trees we buy are all planted in small pots. The trees in small pots have a higher safety factor. When brought home, be sure to water sparingly. Too much water will make the soil airtight, leading to root rot. Fortune Trees have few leaves, a robust trunk, and only a few sparse branches. The leaves emit very little moisture, so there is no need for excessive watering throughout the maintenance period.
If you want to increase the survival rate of Fortune Trees, I suggest trying the following methods.
After buying the Fortune Tree, try not to expose it to direct sunlight, especially if it is bought with the pot. Keep it in the living room throughout, and do not let the leaves come into contact with light. Use a spray bottle frequently to spray water, keeping the leaves of the Fortune Tree moist. This can also reduce moisture evaporation. A slightly humid environment is more suitable for the growth and germination of Fortune Trees.
