Growth Habits of the Money Tree
The Money Tree is a perennial evergreen shrub that prefers a warm, humid environment with full sun or slight shade. Its optimal growing temperature is 20°C to 30°C. The hot, humid summer season is highly favorable for its growth and is also its fastest growing period, so fertilization and watering should be intensified during this stage to promote robust growth.
In winter, the temperature must not drop below 5°C, and it is best kept between 18°C and 20°C. It dislikes cold, damp conditions; in a humid environment, the leaves easily develop ulcer-like frost spots, which detracts from their ornamental value.
Potted Money Tree care is relatively simple. Generally, use loose garden soil or peat soil, leaf mold, and coarse sand, with a small amount of compound fertilizer or chicken manure as a base fertilizer and growing medium.
The Benefits of the Money Tree
The Money Tree can beautify the home. It is an evergreen tree with large flowers and lobed petals in red, white, or pale yellow, with vivid colors. A single plant has green leaves that are a delight to the eyes, and flowers that are a pleasure to admire. Placing it at home unquestionably adds a touch of charm to the decor.
The Money Tree is particularly effective at purifying indoor air. Even under weak light or high carbon dioxide concentrations, it can carry out photosynthesis efficiently, effectively eliminating carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide pollution in the air. In addition, the Money Tree has strong transpiration, which can effectively regulate indoor temperature and humidity, and it can also resist harmful gases produced by cigarettes. If the Money Tree is combined with Buddhist pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus), the effect will be even greater - a truly perfect pair, unmatched anywhere.
