A brief experience on how to care for a money tree to make it grow more luxuriant. The editor will introduce this next.
There are many meaningful green plants in the green plant world, such as the money tree, which symbolizes good fortune and abundant wealth.
Some friends mentioned the other day that they had been raising a money tree, which was doing well, and their business was also going smoothly. However, due to excessive watering, the money tree withered, and since then their business has not been going well. Later, they bought a new money tree, and their business became smooth again, so they believe that the money tree has a significant impact on their fortune. They asked how to care for the money tree properly, as they are afraid of killing it again.
The three major causes of money tree withering
If you want to care for a money tree well, you first need to avoid the three big pitfalls of raising a money tree. Each of these pitfalls can cause your money tree to shed leaves in large numbers, or even die.
Pitfall 1: Overwatering
When a money tree withers, we often find no roots when we dig it out, actually because the roots have rotted away.
The root system of a money tree is not well-developed, but the stem is thick and can store more water, so the money tree is quite drought-tolerant and does not like moist potting soil. If the potting soil is moist for a long time, it can easily cause root rot, and then your money tree will die.
So, in the process of raising it, you must master the right amount of watering. Better to be a bit dry than to overwater. You can pay attention to the leaves of the money tree. When the leaves appear slightly soft and droopy, and the potting soil is dry, this is when you can water.
When watering, make sure to water thoroughly. Don't just water a little, as this can cause uneven dryness and moisture in the potting soil, with some parts moist and others too dry, which can have a significant impact on the money tree's root system.
If you don't water for a long time, it may cause the potting soil to become too dry, and it may not be possible to water thoroughly. In this case, you need to soak the pot to allow all the potting soil to absorb enough water. After watering, make sure to drain the excess water, especially if there's a saucer under it. Make sure to pour out the water in the saucer, as this is very important.
Pitfall 2: Humid and stuffy environment
The money tree prefers relatively dry potting soil, but it likes a more humid air. When raising it, you can spray the leaves and the surrounding environment to increase humidity, but make sure to maintain good ventilation.
Do not create a humid and stuffy environment for the money tree. In a stuffy and humid environment, the money tree is prone to problems, such as yellowing leaves, mold, and leaf drop, which are common.
So, placing it in a well-ventilated and bright area is a key point in raising a money tree.
Pitfall 3: Low temperature
The money tree prefers a warm environment. If the temperature is too low, it can cause frost damage, leading to the withering of the money tree.
In winter, place the money tree in a warmer room, preferably one with heating or air conditioning, maintaining a temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius, and no lower than 5 degrees, so that the money tree can safely survive the winter.
If you can avoid the above three pitfalls when raising a money tree, your money tree will likely grow vigorously. Of course, it also needs to be supplemented with proper fertilizing and pruning.
It is worth mentioning that the money tree symbolizes something beautiful, and a lush money tree can bring a good mood, which naturally leads to smooth work. If your money tree withers and dies, it is recommended to replace it to avoid affecting your mood.
