How to care for and manage the young Money Tree seedlings
The editor answers for netizens the topic of how to care for and manage the young Money Tree seedlings and related topics about the cultivation points of Money Trees, let's take a look together below.
The scientific name of the Money Tree is "Zamioculcas zamiifolia", which is a plant of the Araceae family, Zamioculcas genus. I think it is an indoor plant with high ornamental value. Placing the plant in a bright indoor environment will make its branches and leaves look beautiful, so the Money Tree is quite easy to care for, similar to other potted flowers like the Kaffir lily, hanging orchid, jasmine, Chinese rose, hydrangea, longevity flower, and pothos. Flower enthusiasts can plant several Money Trees at home when the weather is cool. However, some friends who have just bought a Money Tree do not know how to care for it. At this time, we need to develop "three habits" to prevent the leaves from drying out and the roots from rotting. Let's take a look together.
Newly bought Money Tree not thriving? Develop three "habits" to prevent leaf drying and root rot!
One, place it in a scattered light environment
When caring for Money Trees, flower enthusiasts should develop a habit of placing them in a location with scattered light. Why not in a place with direct sunlight? Because Money Trees are not plants that enjoy direct sunlight; they are afraid of direct exposure. If we place them in a location with strong sunlight, their leaves will turn yellow after a few days, or even wither and fall. Therefore, the placement location is very important. I usually place it in a bright room, such as the living room or a bright bedroom.
Two, use good soil
Money Trees do not like heavy soil but prefer slightly acidic soil that is easy to drain and rich in organic matter. When I plant Money Trees, I usually use river sand, peat soil, garden soil, and decomposed leaf soil. I mix these soils together and then place them in a sunny location to dry, which has a fungicidal effect.
Finally, use this soil to plant Money Trees, which can promote the healthy growth of the roots, making the branches and leaves flourish. Whether we are repotting a Money Tree or planting a newly bought one, we must choose the soil well so that the plant's leaves will not dry out and the roots will not rot.

Three, fertilizing
When caring for Money Trees, we should not only water them; they also enjoy nutrients, so we should fertilize Money Trees every year to prevent their leaves from turning yellow and drying out. During the growing period of the Money Tree, fertilizer should be applied once a month, usually using nitrogen fertilizer at the end of summer.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, stop using nitrogen fertilizer and switch to phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. Applying 2-3 consecutive treatments of potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution will make the plant's leaves glossy. When the temperature drops below 15°C, stop fertilizing to prevent root rot. Additionally, Money Trees are drought-tolerant and require less frequent watering.
