Water the Money Tree with this kind of water and it will never get yellow leaves or root rot

The Money Tree, also called Zamioculcas zamiifolia, is a rare plant with underground tubers. It is a perennial evergreen herbaceous plant. The plant stays green all year round, firm and deep green, radiating vitality all over. Placed indoors, it helps purify the air. The Money Tree has an elegant, simple style, a touch of southern charm, and also symbolizes bringing in wealth and prosperity.

If we usually water improperly, root rot easily occurs. If you find the plant has root rot, take it out of the pot soil in time, cut off the rotten roots, dilute carbendazim or potassium permanganate with water at a ratio of 1:1000, soak the trimmed plant in it for one to two hours, then take it out and put it in a cool, ventilated place to let the wounds dry, then plant it in new pot soil.

It is best to use loose, breathable soil, and the new pot soil should also be disinfected with a diluted solution.

Growing habits of the Money Tree:

1. Light

The Money Tree likes light and also has fairly strong shade tolerance. It can get plenty of sun, but avoid direct strong light. It can be kept in an environment with plenty of bright indirect light. The light must not be too strong, as too strong light easily causes yellow leaves, wilting, and similar problems. But if it is kept in a lightless environment for a long time, the newly sprouted leaves are very likely to become thin and long, the leaves turn yellow, and the branches become sparse, affecting the plant's compact and beautiful appearance.

2. Watering

The root system of the Money Tree is not well developed, so it must not be overwatered. Overwatering and excessive humidity prevent the roots from breathing smoothly, causing disease and rot, and even the death of the whole plant.

3. Soil

The soil must be ventilated and breathable. Use peat soil, perlite, and vermiculite mixed at a ratio of 4:1:1, or you can also mix leaf mold, large-particle river sand, and garden soil. In short, the soil must be loose and breathable, maintaining good drainage and permeability, which is good for the extension and growth of its tuberous roots. Before planting, mix carbendazim and water at a ratio of 1:1000 and pour it over the pot soil to sterilize it, which is good for the plant's vigor and offshoot production.

The Money Tree rather likes fertilizer. During the growing season, apply fertilizer once or twice a month, using organic fertilizer mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer, cake fertilizer, general-purpose fertilizer, or a few granules of compound fertilizer diluted in water, applying thin fertilizer frequently. When the temperature drops below 15°C, stop all fertilizing to avoid burning the roots due to excessively low temperature.

To grow the Money Tree well, pay attention to these few aspects, and the Money Tree's leaves will be green and glossy, thick and plump, sprouting new shoots vigorously, and wealth will come rolling into your home
