Everyone loves two kinds of flowers, "money to spend" and "spend as you please" - of course that's just a joke, but today I want to recommend some fortune-bringing plants. Keep one at home to invite good luck, and you'll become a "rich person" in no time! Let's take a look~

Grow a pot of pennywort and become a "rich person" in seconds!

Pennywort, whose scientific name is Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, is a perennial herbaceous plant that can be grown in water or in soil. Its leaves are round like copper coins, with slender upright stems, and the plant is a clear, translucent green that gives you a relaxed and happy feeling~

Pennywort care secrets:

1. Pennywort likes warm, humid environments, so keep the room temperature above 17°C. If growing in water, just change the water once every half month; if growing in soil, water once every 2 or 3 days, and if the leaves droop, spray water promptly.

2. If you want pennywort to grow well, you can use a half-soil, half-water method, and at the same time place it somewhere indoors with only half a day of light, such as an east or west balcony. Pennywort will quickly fill the pot!

Common problems and solutions:

1. What should I do if the pennywort falls over?

If this happens, it means the pennywort is short of water, or the indoor humidity is too low. Water the pennywort right away; if growing in water, spray the stems and leaves to keep them moist, and the pennywort will quickly "stand" back up.

2. What should I do if the pennywort leaves wilt and stop growing?

If this happens, first consider the lighting - it is very likely caused by sun exposure. Move the pennywort to a semi-shaded spot indoors, grow it in half soil and half water, and give it half a day of light, and it will soon shoot up and grow like crazy.

Grow a pot of "ten thousand taels of gold" and become a "rich person" in seconds!

"Ten thousand taels of gold," whose scientific name is Ardisia crenata, has a tall, green plant with exquisite, translucent "red beads" growing beneath it. It looks festive and prosperous. Keep one at home and the new year will bring great wealth and honor!

"Ten thousand taels of gold" care secrets:

1. "Ten thousand taels of gold" is rather afraid of dryness, so water it about once a week. If the air conditioner or heater is on indoors, the air humidity will be lower, so spray the stems and leaves often to keep them moist and create a high-humidity micro-environment.

2. "Ten thousand taels of gold" is afraid of freezing but also cannot be kept in a stuffy, enclosed space, so it is best to keep the indoor temperature around 15°C, and then on nice days open the window at noon to let in some air.

Common problems and solutions:

1. What should I do if all the red berries of "ten thousand taels of gold" fall off?

If "ten thousand taels of gold" drops its berries, consider whether you have been watering too much recently. Stick a chopstick 2 or 3 cm into the potting soil; if the chopstick is very moist, that means there is too much water, so put it somewhere well ventilated to recover for a while.

2. What should I do if the leaves of "ten thousand taels of gold" dry up and fall off?

If this happens, it means "ten thousand taels of gold" is short of fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer. You can boil some soybeans, then ferment them using the same method as fermenting rice-washing water, and use it to water the plant, but be sure to keep the concentration low.

Grow a pot of money tree and become a "rich person" in seconds!

The money tree, whose scientific name is Pachira aquatica, is a woody plant belonging to the Malvaceae family. Its trunk is thick and sturdy, and its leaves are green, slender and glossy. It carries the beautiful meaning of bringing in wealth and treasure - keep one and your fortunes will flow!

Money tree care secrets:

1. Place the money tree somewhere with good light, such as by the living room window. In winter the light intensity is not so strong, and the money tree will grow stronger with more sun, but in other seasons it needs appropriate shading.

2. The money tree is afraid of freezing, so the room temperature should be kept above 10°C. The money tree's root system is not well developed, so you must hold back and not water too often. For a small pot, water once a month; for a large pot, watering twice a month is enough.

Common problems and solutions:

1. What should I do if the money tree's roots rot?

If the money tree's roots rot, first stop watering, cut off all the dried leaves, and then put it somewhere well ventilated to recover. If the rot is fairly severe, you can only take it out of the pot and trim the roots, and be careful not to let it freeze.

2. What should I do if the money tree's leaves droop?

If all the money tree's leaves have drooped, it means there is standing water in the pot. First stop watering, then immediately loosen the soil and move the money tree to a well-ventilated place so the standing water can evaporate.

Grow a pot of money plant and become a "rich person" in seconds!

The money plant, whose scientific name is Zamioculcas zamiifolia, is an evergreen perennial herbaceous plant. Its stems and leaves are so green they seem to drip, firm and leathery, and shaped like coins, which is why it is said to bring in wealth and blessings.

Pennywort care secrets:

1. The money plant is most afraid of being scorched by the sun, so it is best to keep it in a semi-shaded spot indoors. As long as it gets plenty of bright, indirect light, it will grow quite robustly.

2. The money plant is tolerant of drought but not of waterlogging. If there is standing water in the pot, it will cause the roots to rot, so before watering, check whether the soil is wet, or stick a chopstick into the soil and check whether the chopstick is moist to judge whether watering is needed.

Common problems and solutions:

1. What should I do if the money plant's leaves have dry tips and turn yellow?

If this happens, it means the money plant has been watered too often. Take two measures. One is to control watering - watering once every 1 or 2 months is enough; the second is to move it quickly to a well-ventilated place.

2. What should I do if the money plant grows too slowly?

The money plant is naturally rather slow-growing. If you want to speed up its growth, give it a little compound fertilizer. You can dilute it with water, or simply bury compound fertilizer directly in the pot - burying 7 or 8 granules at a time is enough.

Grow a pot of string of coins and become a "rich person" in seconds!

String of coins, whose scientific name is Crassula perforata, is a succulent in the Crassulaceae family. As the name suggests, string of coins looks very much like a string of copper coins, with leaf after leaf pressed close together. It looks very cute - keep one and you're a rich person~

String of coins care secrets:

1. String of coins likes a warm, dry growing environment, so in winter it should be moved indoors. Especially since this year's temperatures are rather low, those in the south without heating must be careful to keep it warm, and can cover it with a plastic bottle.

2. String of coins likes sun quite a bit, so be sure to provide plenty of light. Put it somewhere with good light such as a windowsill. If the indoor light is poor, you can consider buying a grow light~

Common problems and solutions:

1. What should I do if string of coins' leaves turn black and rot?

Take the string of coins out of the pot, cut off the black, rotting parts - cut them all off - then soak the roots in carbendazim, let them dry in a cool place and repot. Be sure to water sparingly.

2. What should I do if string of coins gets mealybugs?

String of coins is quite prone to mealybugs. If you find bugs, immediately dip a cotton swab in baijiu and wipe the infested spots, including the undersides of the leaves, and then just make sure there is good ventilation.
