How do you grow a money tree well? What should you pay attention to? I hope experienced readers can help explainThe money tree, also known as Malabar chestnut, is an evergreen small tree in the silk-cotton family, with palmate leaves and 7-11 leaflets that are oblong to obovate. Because the name "money tree" is very popular with merchants and ordinary citizens, and the plant has a beautiful shape, bright green leaves, and a hammer-shaped trunk, it is suitable for indoor arrangement and beautification when potted. Zhongdi Network has compiled the key points to note in the money tree growing process, listed below for readers' reference.
To grow a money tree well, pay attention to the following four points:
Note 1. Temperature control:
The minimum winter temperature is 16-18°C. Below this temperature, the money tree's leaves begin to turn yellow and fall off; below 10°C it easily dies.
Note 2. Light control:
The money tree is a strongly sun-loving plant, and in places such as Hainan Island it is grown outdoors. However, this plant has fairly strong shade tolerance and can be enjoyed indoors in a low-light spot for 2-4 weeks in a row. After that, place it in a bright spot.
Note 3. Water control：
The money tree needs plenty of water during its high-temperature growing season; but it has strong drought tolerance and will not be harmed if not watered for several days. However, avoid water accumulation in the pot. Reduce watering in winter.
Note 4. Repot at the right time:
For a money tree that has been potted for a long time, you can repot it as needed, and the best repotting season is spring.
