The Money Tree also has a name that very few people have heard of, which is Round Shell Purslane. It belongs to the Purslane genus and is a herbaceous plant. Of course, it is mostly cultivated as a succulent plant, which is a herbaceous plant that can maintain its green color throughout the year.
If you have seen the Money Tree bloom, you will find that its flowers are very similar to those of the common Large Flower Purslane or Sunflower. Their family relationship is very close, both belonging to the Purslane genus.
The leaves of the Money Tree are much larger than those of the Large Flower Purslane. Its leaves are like round shells, overlapping and growing evenly on the branches, which looks very beautiful. Some people think that its leaves are like strings of coins hanging on the branches.
The branches of the Money Tree grow straight and upward with few branches. The base of the rootstock is slightly swollen, and most of the leaves grow at the top, which has very good ornamental value and looks especially fresh when paired with some ceramic pots.
However, friends who have cultivated the Money Tree have a烦恼: after the Money Tree is grown into a potted plant, the leaves are overlapping when purchased, but after a while, the leaves always fall off. So, how to prevent and control this situation?
The Money Tree prefers a warm and dry environment all year round in nature, and it is afraid of excessive humidity and cold. The maintenance location should have plenty of sunlight.
Only in this way can the plant grow well. Its plant itself is not very tall, usually only growing to 30~50 centimeters high. It is very suitable for growing as an indoor potted plant and is best placed near a window with moderate sunlight.
