How should a money tree be placed to attract wealth? The right location is key
The money tree symbolizes wealth. Its placement should be determined according to the orientation of the home, based on where the wealth position is located. Placing a money tree in the southeast direction helps attract wealth and treasure. In fact, many people just ignore their money tree after placing it, which is not good. Let us take a look below at how to place a money tree to attract wealth!
How should a money tree be placed to attract wealth?
1. Attracting wealth and treasure: Clear away the clutter piled up in the southeast position where the money tree is placed, then remove metal-element items that would the wood-element energy. This achieves the wealth-attracting feng shui of the southeast position. Colors that strengthen the energy of the southeast position include deep blue, which belongs to the water element, and green, which belongs to the wood element.
2. Using money to generate money: Placing a large-denomination banknote under the money tree means using money to nourish money, because the money tree itself is meant to generate money and boost wealth luck. Pressing money underneath can make wealth luck rise steadily and make the family fortune more substantial.
3. Symbolizing wealth: The thick leaves of the money tree are rich in water and need plenty of sunlight and very little water in order to carry out photosynthesis. In winter the money tree also goes dormant, so it needs very little water. If the money tree blooms in December or July, it means you are very likely to receive an unexpected windfall.
Precautions for placing a money tree
1. Do not place the money tree directly facing a toilet or under a beam. The toilet represents bad luck, and the money tree will accumulate it, causing wealth luck to be damaged and misfortune to come one after another.
2. Do not place the money tree in a position that blocks the way. First, it affects the passage and makes it inconvenient to walk through; second, placing the money tree this way means blocking wealth luck from entering and shutting wealth luck out of the door. Therefore it should only be placed in a corner.
3. Do not place the money tree in a high position. Placing it too high does not make wealth luck higher, but rather puts it far away and in danger. In addition, the money tree absolutely must not face a statue of a deity, as this will cause a clash.
How should a money tree be cultivated and managed?
1. Pot and soil selection: Most money trees bought now come in soil provided by the seller. Gardeners do not need to repot them immediately after purchase; keep growing them for now and consider repotting later. If repotting, potted money trees generally use loose garden soil or peat soil, leaf mold, and coarse sand, with a small amount of compound fertilizer or chicken manure as base fertilizer and growing medium.
2. Watering management: The root system of the money tree is very underdeveloped. Many money trees die mainly because of root rot. How much to water at one time varies from place to place, and the pot and soil used also differ, so there is no fixed watering standard. Generally speaking, watering once a month is not too little. In addition, plants will not die quickly from lack of water and will recover quickly after watering, but if they are waterlogged, they basically cannot be saved. The money tree can usually be misted more and watered less.
3. Fertilization management: The money tree does not need fertilization when the soil is fertile enough. If it has been grown for a long time, consider giving it a light fertilizer. Avoid concentrated fertilizer. Common foliage fertilizers can be used, and be sure to apply only light fertilizer.
4. Reasonable pruning: Generally speaking, money trees have been beheaded, so proper pruning can also be given each spring. First, it improves appearance; second, it promotes the growth of new branches.
5. Pest and disease control: In the early stage of stem rot in money trees, spray 1000 times dilution of 50% water-soluble fungicide powder, once every 10 days, for 2 to 3 consecutive treatments. For anthracnose, spray 800 times dilution of 50% chlorothalonil wettable powder or 600 times dilution of 50% carbendazim, once every 7 to 10 days. For cabbage caterpillars, inchworms, and red spider mites, regularly spray 800 times dilution of 40% omethoate or 1000 times dilution of 50% dichlorvos, once every 7 days for 2 to 3 consecutive sprays.
