How to grow a Money Tree in a pot? Master these 5 points and every plant you grow will thrive
The Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) is widely loved for the auspicious meaning of its name. It is fairly shade-tolerant and suits being placed in the living room, study or bedroom, making it one of the ideal indoor potted plants. During care it does need attentive tending. Below we will discuss the care methods for growing a Money Tree as a potted plant at home from 5 aspects~
Soil selection
The Money Tree needs loose, airy, fertile soil with a fairly high humus content that is neutral to slightly acidic. When caring for it you can mix in some peat soil, which can adjust the soil's slight acidity; adjusting the pH value to slightly acidic is enough to support what the plant needs for growth. Generally speaking, the Money Tree needs to be repotted every 3-4 years, and the repotting frequency depends on its growth condition. When you find the plant has filled the pot and is rather crowded, you can repot it.
Watering method
The Money Tree is fairly drought-tolerant, so keep the soil slightly moist and on the dry side. Do not water too frequently, and take special care not to let water accumulate when watering, otherwise the roots are very prone to rotting. The amount of water should also be adjusted according to the season. Generally speaking, during the vigorous growth period water somewhat more frequently; in winter, when the temperature is on the low side, the water supply should be reduced.
Temperature control
The Money Tree is a tropical plant and likes a relatively warm growing environment. It can grow normally at temperatures above 10°C, but too high is also no good. When the temperature exceeds 35/6°C it will also grow poorly. 25-30°C is the optimal growing temperature, when the Money Tree grows fastest.
Light
The Money Tree is a fairly shade-tolerant plant and can also adapt to fairly bright light. When grown indoors, it is enough to avoid direct sunlight at midday and positions that are too dark indoors.
Fertilizing method
During the Money Tree's growing period, you can add a light fertilizer once a month. Cover the potting soil of the Money Tree with a layer of expanded clay pebbles. When the winter temperature is on the low side, it is recommended not to fertilize.
Finally, the flower meaning: do the above points well and I believe you can also easily grow a good Money Tree. Finally, I also wish everyone, just like the Money Tree's meaning, prosperity, prosperity, prosperity!!!
