Money tree seeds are most suitable for planting in October, because the flowering period of the money tree is April and May, and the ripening season is three months later. After ripening, it will produce many seeds, and the quantity is also very large, so it should be observed in time. The planting period is October. Then when does the money tree get a new flower pot?

When we buy a potted money tree plant, the potting soil inside can guarantee the growth of the money tree, and then it should be changed when the money tree changes.
2. When to replace with a new flower pot
As for changing the flower pot for a money tree, each time the pot is changed, the money tree needs to adapt to a new environment, which greatly affects the development of the money tree. If it is during the growth period of the money tree, the impact will be even greater. Summer is the growth period of the money tree, so it is best not to change the money tree's flower pot in summer. In the dormant period of autumn, it is best to change the pot, and in April of spring, this can greatly reduce the impact of changing pots.

The money tree is an evergreen leaf plant. Its demand for nutrients is relatively high. Especially during the plant's growth period, a large amount of nutrient supplements is needed to make the money tree grow better.

Because the money tree has many leaves, we choose nitrogen fertilizer in our routine fertilizing process, because nitrogen fertilizer can make the money tree leaves greener and make the money tree become better, but during fertilizing, be sure not to over-fertilize, otherwise it will have a certain effect on the plant. There are two main opportunities for fertilizing a money tree. When changing the flower pot or when the plant is in the early stage of growth, this plant needs relatively more growth substances, and fertilizer can be applied appropriately. When changing the pot every year, the proportion of loam can account for 1/3 or more. The sources of fertility are very broad.
It can be collected from broadleaf deciduous humus, plus a little garden soil and mixed with bone and bean cake residue, and this kind of loam is very effective and easy to obtain. Special fertilizer for money trees is also based on nitrogen fertilizer, and the nutrients it contains are relatively high, suitable for novice growers, because most people will not buy fertilizer, so you can choose to buy special fertilizer on the market to apply, so it is also simpler to use. The money tree is a plant we often see at home, and its meaning is also very good, wishing prosperity, and ordinary households will also choose to grow it to express good wishes; when grown well, it will be very beautiful.
