The latest money tree care method: no root rot and no yellow leaves
The money tree's root system is underdeveloped, even very thin and weak, and is especially sensitive to watering. It has the characteristic of not tolerating water, and is very prone to root rot and yellow leaves caused by overwatering. Money trees rot at the roots very easily, which really gives quite a few plant enthusiasts a headache. In fact, as long as we can master this method of growing a money tree, we can achieve both no root rot and no yellow leaves, and it can even grow with lush branches and leaves and verdant foliage.
To prevent the money tree from developing root rot and yellow leaves, in normal times we can add a little vitamin C and beer to water and mix it into an aqueous solution. After shaking the solution thoroughly, when the potting soil has dried out and it is time to water the money tree, use it instead of plain water to drench the roots. And the method of use is also very simple; it is a very practical care method in the process of growing money trees.
First we prepare one tablet of vitamin C, then grind it into powder, then put it into 800 ml of plain water and let it dissolve fully. At the same time, we also supplement some nutrients for it; we can add another 15-20 ml of beer to the water, preferably expired beer. After adding these substances to the water, shake it thoroughly, then directly pour it onto the money tree.
This aqueous solution is very easily and quickly absorbed by the money tree's root system, and it is rich in nutrients, but at the same time it will not cause root burn. We only need to water the money tree's potting soil thoroughly. This is because beer is rich in low-molecular sugars and also contains a large amount of amino acids, phosphates and other nutrients needed for plant growth. Moreover, it generally does not need to be fermented and can be well absorbed by the plant's root system, while adding vitamin C can both supplement nutrients and make the potting soil slightly acidic, which very much suits the taste of the money tree, an acid-loving plant.
Moreover, when using this kind of nutrient water instead of plain water to water the money tree, the frequency is not high either; generally watering it once a month is enough. It can not only prevent the yellowing of leaves caused by salinization of the money tree's soil, but also provide rich nutrients for the plant, thereby meeting its need for rapid growth.
A money tree grown this way not only avoids root rot and yellow leaves, but can also keep its foliage verdant with lush branches and leaves, and even its stem grows thicker and sturdier, making it easier for a cute big belly to bulge out on the upper part of the root stem. Therefore, the ornamental value of a potted money tree is naturally higher as well.
But if we mix too much solution at one time, do not pour the excess into the pot, and do not pour it away either, otherwise it will both cause a waste of resources. Instead, it should be collected and stored well, and it can still be used next time. This naturally saves quite a lot of resources, thus avoiding waste, and it will not cause adverse effects on the money tree's growth due to excessive use.
