The money tree has a particularly good meaning. Whether you keep one at home or in a shop, it is very beautiful and represents wealth, with leaves that stay evergreen all year round. Some people's money trees grow to over one meter tall, with lush branches and leaves,how exactly do they grow them? Remember these few little tricks, and your money tree will also grow with thick, sturdy branches and lush, vigorous leaves.

1. Watering needs attention. The money tree is a green plant that loves warmth and moisture, so it likes relatively high air humidity, generally around 80%. Therefore, it is best to prepare a spray bottle and occasionally spray a little water on the leaves to keep the leaf surface moist.

When watering, it is best to observe the condition of the potting soil. In spring and autumn, keep the potting soil moist. Pinch the potting soil with your hand: if it holds together in clumps, you do not need to water; if it crumbles apart when pinched, you need to water. But do not use too much water, as waterlogging easily leads to root rot.

2. If you have expired aspirin tablets at home, do not throw them away; they are especially good for growing money trees.

Use one tablet diluted in 100 grams of tap water, put it in a spray bottle, and spray it on the leaves and branches every day at noon. After spraying continuously for one week, the leaves gradually become green and glossy, and the branches and leaves become lush and beautifully verdant.

3. If the leaves look dull in color, it proves that they lack fertilizer. Healthy money tree leaves should be emerald green, like jade, and the green should be glossy. At this time, you can dilute urea and spray continuously for ten days.

Fertilizing this way can make the money tree grow faster, sprout more, and also grow sturdy, with emerald green leaves that are even more lush and beautiful.

4. The money tree likes slightly acidic soil and environment, so every month, you can water the potting soil with 0.2% ferrous sulfate, and the leaves will also become greener and greener.

5. During the growing season, pruning the money tree properly can encourage it to send out new buds, and it can also grow more new leaves and new branches.

If you care for your money tree according to the methods above, it will certainly grow with lush branches and leaves, and the foliage will be emerald green and beautiful.
