How do you care for a money tree? Remember one bury and one water, and it will grow steadily upward, with no need for fertilizer all year round.

The money tree, also known as Zamioculcas zamiifolia, is an evergreen plant with firm, deep green stems and glossy green leaves. It is an excellent plant for decorating the home, and it also carries the meaning of wealth rolling in, making it deeply loved by many flower enthusiasts.

The money tree is a fertilizer-loving plant, but it is a rare plant with underground tubers, so it has somewhat higher soil requirements. When planting, choose soil with good ventilation and breathability. You can use leaf mold as the base soil, then mix and stir it with perlite and river sand in a 5:1:1 ratio.

Place some tile pieces or ceramic pellets at the bottom of the flowerpot to increase breathability, then pour in the mixed soil, about 5cm thick, then pour in a layer of eggshell powder, spread about 2cm, then continue pouring in soil. After it is about eight-tenths full, you can plant the money tree in it. Eggshell powder is relatively difficult to rot, so it can provide nutrients for the money tree over the long term.

The money tree prefers acidic conditions. During the growing season, when watering, you can use homemade organic fertilizer, such as fermented orange peel solution or rice-washing water, diluted 1000 times with water for watering. They are acidic themselves. In addition to providing nutrients for the money tree, they can also speed up the decomposition of the eggshell powder, provide more nutrients for the money tree, and make the money tree grow faster, without burning the roots.

The money tree likes light but fears strong light, especially in this kind of weather now, as the sun gets more and more scorching. After being exposed to the sun, yellow leaves, wilting and other phenomena will appear. And if there is not enough light, it is very easy to cause the leaves to become thin and leggy, affecting its appearance.

It is best to place it indoors near a window, letting it receive some scattered light, which is more conducive to its growth.

That is all for the care of the money tree. If flower enthusiasts have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. If you want to learn more about flower-growing knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
