Money tree care tips: once you master them, it grows tall and strong
To make a money tree grow fast, provide slightly acidic sandy soil and add some base fertilizer. During the growing season, give an appropriate amount of fertilizer according to its specific growth, and slow-release fertilizer can be used. Keep the temperature between 20 and 30 degrees. Provide plenty of scattered light, and do not let it get too dark. As for watering, water thoroughly only after the soil has dried out, and do not let water accumulate; you can increase humidity by spraying water.
1. Suitable soil
You need to pay attention when choosing soil for initial planting. Slightly acidic sandy soil is best, as it ensures good root growth and helps it grow fast later on. You can also add some base fertilizer, such as organic fertilizer or coal cinder, which both increases the nutrient content and makes the soil more breathable and better at draining. In addition, you need to place some ceramsite at the bottom of the pot.
2. An appropriate amount of fertilizer
During the growing season, some diluted fertilizer is needed, such as slow-release fertilizer, to help it grow faster. Generally, once a month. However, you also need to consider its specific growth. If the soil does not have enough nutrients and the growth is very poor, then you can fertilize once or twice more. However, when the temperature is above 35 degrees or below 15 degrees, do not fertilize.
3. Suitable temperature
The temperature must be in the most suitable range for the plant to grow fast. Specifically, 20 to 35 degrees is best. Too low is certainly no good, and too high is also no good. Above 35 degrees, its growth will be very slow.
4. Moderate light
Being in a dark environment for a long time is not good for fast growth. So you need to provide some light, but the light must not be too strong either. In summer, shade is needed at noon and in the afternoon.
5. An appropriate amount of water
You need to provide enough water without overdoing it. The principle to follow is "water thoroughly only after the soil has dried out", keeping the soil slightly moist but without standing water. Humidity also needs to be regulated, and you can increase humidity by spraying water.
