How to Propagate Money Tree from Seeds? Latest Method Explained in Detail
The money tree sounds meaningful just from its name, and this is also one of the main reasons why more and more people like to grow it. Below we will discuss the making and care of the money tree.
First, the purchased seeds need to be processed. The first step is to clean the soil attached to the seed coat surface until you can clearly see the veins appearing on the seed coat. After that, soak them in water for two days; warm water is generally best. During these two days, the seeds will gradually crack open. Once the seeds have cracked, pour out the water and take out the seeds. Be sure to pay attention to the time; it must not exceed two days, otherwise the seeds soaked in water will easily rot.
When planting, because the seeds are relatively large, the spacing between seeds should be 0.3 cm; they must not be too densely packed. During placement, also pay attention to the angle and make full use of the pot's space. After that, sprinkle water to ensure four rounds back and forth, so that both the seeds and the soil are completely soaked through.
Finally, use maifan stone to cover all the seeds so that no seeds can be seen on the surface. Because there will definitely be gaps between the seeds and the maifan stone, it is best to press gently so that they can combine tightly.
After planting is completed, wrap the surface of the pot with plastic wrap. The benefit of doing this is that when the seeds sprout and take root, their supporting force will be relatively greater; if this is not done, it is very easy for the roots to separate from the soil.
The money tree will grow according to the space available. Since the planting pot is not especially large, its growth height will not be too tall. In addition, pay attention to watering it, generally spraying once every two days. Finally, there is its shaping. After its leaves grow out, its form is basically stable, so a slight pruning is enough.

In terms of care, light is essential. The best placement location is one with ventilation and sufficient sunlight. The direction of placement should have its leaf surface facing the sunlight. If it does not receive sunlight for a long time, its branches and leaves will grow deformed. The amount of water often affects the growth of branches and leaves. Although the money tree can tolerate both moisture and drought, if you forget to water it indoors, ten days is no problem. However, although this will not cause the plant to die, it will affect its ornamental value. Only with moderate watering can its branches and leaves grow well. In terms of fertilizer, its demand is still relatively high, so be sure to pay attention to the fertility of the soil and apply fertilizer at the appropriate time.
In terms of shaping, the shaping of money tree bonsai mainly includes these four types. One is the single-plant type with relatively thick branches; the second is the braided type, in which the branches of two or three plants are intertwined with wire to form a braid; in addition, there are also the clustered type and the unique-shaped type. In short, its shapes are relatively rich, and its ornamental value is very high.
