I. Growing methods and precautions for Radermachera sinica
Although many friends like green plants, they often accidentally let them wither and die because of various human causes and environmental factors. Here I have summarized the growing methods and precautions for Radermachera sinica for everyone. Let's take a look:
1. Temperature
Radermachera sinica likes a relatively warm environment, and in a warm environment it will grow a bit faster. Generally, keeping the temperature between 20-30 degrees is most suitable. In hot summer weather, it is best to move Radermachera sinica indoors to avoid direct sunlight, or place it in a shady spot on the balcony. Do the same in winter when the temperature is low. Although this method requires a bit of physical effort, it can help Radermachera sinica grow better.
2. Light
Radermachera sinica can enjoy all-day sunlight, and can also absorb natural nutrients in the shade. The best way is to place them on the balcony or indoors, but they cannot be kept indoors for a long time. Radermachera sinica without light will soon wither and die. On sunny days in winter, you can move them outside and place them in a high spot.
3. Soil
Radermachera sinica needs soil with good drainage for its mix. You can go to a flower market and ask professionals to handle this. A well-prepared nutrient soil is more helpful for growth. Generally, the money tree needs its soil turned twice a year to ensure the roots can fully absorb nutrients.
4. Water
Besides light, green plants naturally cannot do without water either. The money tree needs a relatively moist environment. In the initial seedling stage, everyone needs to ensure the moisture level for Radermachera sinica, and in summer even more attention must be paid to watering. Generally in summer, water once in the morning and once in the evening, controlling the amount of water. In winter, water once every two or three days. Winter temperatures are low, and too much water will cause root rot.
5. Fertilizing
During its growth, Radermachera sinica needs decomposed cake fertilizer and multi-element compound fertilizer, and also nutrient fertilizer mixed from various ingredients to supplement nutrition. For buying fertilizer, you can go to a flower market or a pesticide market and ask professionals to prepare fertilizer with the proper ratio. Adding it during the plant's growth period can help consolidate nutrition.
