How to make the money plant bloom abundantly
To make the money plant bloom abundantly, it needs fertile, loose, and well-draining soil. Apply a dilute, decomposed organic fertilizer every half a month during the growing season. Stop fertilizing when it enters the dormant period in winter. Keep the soil moist during maintenance, water when it dries, and avoid waterlogging. Spray carbendazim or methyl thiophanate on the leaves at the early signs of diseases or pests.
Money plant blooming cultivation methods
The money plant originally grew in the region of South Africa, preferring cool, dry, well-lit, and well-ventilated environments. It can tolerate semi-shade but not flooding. It enters a dormant period during the high summer temperatures and is considered a "winter type" among succulent plants. The money plant can bloom abundantly in three months.
1. Soil requirements
The money plant has a strong growth ability. To make it bloom abundantly, it needs fertile, loose, and well-draining soil. A nutrient-rich soil can be prepared by mixing leaf mold, garden soil, coarse sand, and vermiculite. A small amount of base fertilizer can be added to the mixed soil to promote the growth of the money plant's roots.
2. Reasonable fertilization
Reasonable fertilization is an important factor in making the money plant bloom abundantly. Fertilizing should be done in mild and comfortable seasons. Do not fertilize in summer. Apply a dilute, decomposed organic fertilizer every half a month during the growing season. Do not use animal or human waste directly as fertilizer. Stop fertilizing when it enters the dormant period in winter.
3. Watering to keep moist
The money plant likes to grow in a moist soil environment. Therefore, keep the soil moist during maintenance, water when it dries, and usually water 3-4 times a week. If the soil in the pot is in good moisture condition, avoid overwatering to prevent waterlogging.
4. Disease prevention
The most significant disease for the money plant during its growth and development is gray mold. When it occurs, the leaves will show large areas of gray-black spots. At the early signs of the disease, spray carbendazim or methyl thiophanate on the leaves. The specific concentration for spraying can be referred to the instructions.
Money plant maintenance precautions
Since the money plant prefers to grow in cool climates, when watering in cooler weather, use water that is close to room temperature to avoid root rot. Do not use too cold or too hot water. In summer, frequently spray water mist on the leaves to keep them clean.
