How to water a money tree correctly in summer

Flowers & Gardening 0 views
In summer, water the money tree a little more generously; you can water once every 1-2 days, and you can also spray water on the leaves. On cloudy and rainy days, reduce the frequency and control the amount of water; there must be no standing water in the pot. You can judge whether watering is needed by the color and sound of the potting soil: when the color is white and the sound is hollow, water it promptly.

1. Summer watering method

Summer weather is relatively dry, and water evaporates faster than usual, so water a little more generously. In summer, you can water once every 1-2 days, but in bad weather and on rainy days, reduce the frequency and control the amount of water. Do not water the money tree too much; if the soil drains poorly, standing water will form, and if the roots stay in standing water for a long time, they will rot. In summer, you can also spray water on the leaves more often, which can raise the humidity of the growing environment.

When you want to water, you can look at the color of the potting soil; if the color turns white or there are cracks from drying, water it promptly. You can also decide based on the sound when tapping the pot: when it sounds hollow, water it.

2. Summer care methods

1. Light: Do not let it be exposed to strong midday sunlight for a long time; move its position promptly or use artificial shading.

2. Temperature: Give it a growing environment of 15-30°C. Summer temperatures are relatively high, so you can move it indoors or use water spraying to lower the temperature.

3. Fertilizing: In summer, it is best to give it fully decomposed liquid fertilizer, or you can use a mixed flower-growing fertilizer. The fertilizing frequency is generally once every half month.
