How do you care for a money tree so it grows well? Don't ignore yellowing, falling leaves

The money tree originated in Mexico and spread rapidly after being introduced to the Chinese flower market.

Because of its auspicious meaning, the money tree is widely popular with the public! Not only do households love it, but businesses such as hotels and restaurants also like to buy a few pots for environmental decoration and beautification.

However, some plant lovers report that their own money trees are not growing well, with leaves turning yellow and falling off, and they estimate the plants are about to die!

This plant lover also said that their potted money tree is kept indoors, and they water it every day and take quite careful care of it, so how could it end up like this?

From this plant lover's words, we get two important pieces of information:

1. Their potted plant is kept indoors.

2. It is watered every day.

Below, based on these two pieces of information and the money tree's growth habits, let's answer this plant lover's confusion!

First, the money tree is a strongly sun-loving plant that likes light and should not be placed in a spot indoors without sunlight for a long time. Since this plant lover's potted plant is kept indoors for a long time, the money tree naturally cannot get enough light.

In this case, it is recommended to enjoy it continuously for 1-2 weeks in a weaker-light spot indoors, and then place it in a strong-light spot so the potted plant gets enough direct sunlight.

Second, this plant lover waters the potted plant every day. Because the money tree has strong drought tolerance, it should not be watered heavily every day, as this will cause long-term water accumulation at the bottom of the pot. Combined with the potted plant being kept indoors for a long time, the water is hard to evaporate, which easily causes root rot. It is recommended to use a spray bottle for misting and watering, as long as the leaf surface and pot soil are not too dry.

Well, if you want the money tree to grow well, just doing the above 2 things is not enough. Here, let's add one more point - about fertilizing and repotting.

The money tree is a flower and tree that likes fertilizer, and its demand for fertilizer is far greater than many common plants. It is recommended to repot once a year, and the fertilized soil should best be controlled at a little more than one third.

Fertilized soil has a wide range of sources. You can collect humus soil from the fallen leaves of broadleaf trees, add a small amount of garden soil and mixed bone meal and bean cake residue to prepare it, but remember it must be fully rotted, otherwise the money tree is prone to root burn.

In addition, during the money tree's growing period (May to September), apply a fully rotted liquid fertilizer or mixed flower fertilizer once every 15 days. Rainwater is normally slightly acidic, which also helps plant growth, and the potted plant can also be given a little more of it.

To grow a pot of money tree well, the issues to pay attention to are roughly the above few, and they are also the most important few. We believe that after reading the above, plant lovers will no longer have to worry when growing money trees in the future!
