The lucky money tree symbolizes "fortune," and it is a very popular and sought-after houseplant. Many flower enthusiasts must have kept a lucky money tree. With its sturdy trunk and glossy green leaves, it stays green all year round, making it very suitable for placement in the living room or at the entrance.

Many flower enthusiasts keep lucky money trees, but few really understand them. Other than watering, there are no other "actions" for the lucky money tree at home. When well cared for, the lucky money tree can even bear fruit, which many flower enthusiasts find hard to believe. It's true; the lucky money tree can bloom and bear fruit.

The lucky money tree blooms in summer, with initial petals resembling a small trumpet. After a period of growth, the petals will burst open, revealing the flower core, which consists of hair-like pistils, making it very beautiful. As a tropical plant, the lucky money tree requires a high ambient temperature and is more likely to bloom in the south. In the north, where temperatures are lower, the chances of flowering are quite low.

Besides flowering, the lucky money tree can also produce large fruits, similar to lemons. The green fruits encase many seeds inside. By autumn, the fruits turn from green to gray-brown, and the outer skin becomes very hard. In the Fujian region of China, you can often see the fruits of the lucky money tree in some parks, where mature fruits fall to the ground.

The large fruits contain many seeds, similar to hazelnuts. By splitting open the seeds of the lucky money tree, the seeds can be extracted, dried, and used to propagate young plants, which, when well cared for, can grow into small potted lucky money trees.

Dry the seeds of the lucky money tree and wrap them in a damp cloth, then place them on the balcony. Prepare a flowerpot and some potting soil. When the seeds germinate, they can be planted in the pot.

Place the seeds of the lucky money tree evenly on the surface of the potting soil. Every other day, spray them with water using a spray bottle and keep them in a place with sunlight. The temperature is best kept above 22 degrees Celsius. High temperatures promote faster growth and higher germination rates for the lucky money tree seeds.
