The money tree (Pachira aquatica) has dense branches and leaves, is fresh and emerald green, and carries especially good symbolism, making it a common houseplant. If you want to grow a money tree well, you still need to put in some effort. Mastering the fertilizing techniques for the money tree can make it branch out abundantly and grow lush and verdant!

Fertilizing methods for the money tree:

(1). Providing the money tree with sufficient nitrogen fertilizer can make its leaves large and dark green. At home you can use a compound fertilizer, which contains various trace elements and can meet the growth needs of the money tree.

(2). Common organic fertilizers from daily life can effectively supplement the money tree's nutrients. For example, using decomposed cake fertilizer, fermented rice-washing water, and chicken and duck bones, once processed, can become excellent organic fertilizer for the money tree.

(3). When repotting the money tree, the nutrient demand is high, so you can pour out one third of the soil, then add decomposed soybean residue cake mixed in, for efficient and long-lasting fertility.
