So some friends, in order to make their little home more lively and vibrant, add some green potted plants full of life to their house.

Then again, home potted plants are not just any few pots you like; there is a lot of knowledge behind them. For such potted green plants, the most popular one is the money tree. Just from its name alone it carries a very good meaning. Moreover, the money tree is a rather grand and elegant home potted plant. Growing one or two pots in the living room at home not only adds vitality to the environment but also purifies the air, truly a delight to the eye.

The money tree is a fairly easy potted plant to grow and a fairly drought-tolerant plant. You need to pay attention to the 5 routine care points in daily care, otherwise it can be killed by you too! So when caring for a money tree, we need to be careful. First, in this hot season, as temperatures rise, if there is standing water in the pot, it will cause root rot. At this point we can use a sterilized knife to saw off the rotten roots directly.

Second, soak in potassium permanganate solution. That is, after sawing off the rotten roots of the money tree, place it in an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate and soak for about thirty minutes. Third, dry the soaked money tree in a cool, shady place and apply powder to the wound. Fourth, line the bottom of the pot. Before potting up the money tree, we can lay a layer of crushed yellow brick granules on the bottom of the pot, and after cutting off the bottom of a mineral water bottle, place it upside down in the middle of the pot bottom to increase the pot's breathability and drainage.

Fifth, pot up in potting soil. Mix leaf mold, sand and garden soil to make a mixed nutrient soil. Such nutrient soil is rich in nutrients and has stronger breathability and drainage. Root rot of the money tree is less likely to occur. A money tree cared for this way is more ornamental. Such a home green plant makes people envious and jealous. Master these 5 little tips and you too can grow a fine potted plant.
