How often should you water a money tree? Learn the correct watering method

The money tree (Pachira aquatica) likes a warm, humid environment with sun or light partial shade, and must not be exposed to blazing sun, otherwise the leaves will grow poorly.

The money tree likes moisture; keep the soil moist at ordinary times, especially during the growing season, when it needs a sufficient supply of water, so pay attention to watering.

Do not water too much, as it easily breeds bacteria and in serious cases may lead to waterlogged, rotten roots.

Water according to the weather conditions and how dry or moist the soil is; in winter, when the temperature drops, the water requirement also drops, so there is no need to water too much; keep the soil dry.

Also pay attention to spraying water mist on the leaves and the surrounding environment to raise the air humidity.

The money tree grows fairly fast, so during the growing season it needs a fairly sufficient supply of fertilizer.

After it sprouts, you can spray a compound fertilizer solution of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium two or three times a month, to make the plant sturdy and the leaves emerald green.

You can also apply organic fertilizer to the soil.

Note that during the peak growing season you should try not to use nitrogen fertilizer, to avoid leggy growth.
