Grow a money tree with roots thicker than your calf, bringing both fortune and a commanding presence

Lately the weather in the south has been rainy, with rain falling at the slightest provocation. Fortunately, the indoor plants have not suffered the battering of wind and rain like those outdoors, and their growth has actually been quite good. A friend sent a photo of their money tree at home. Wow, at a glance, it was growing lush and verdant, and its trunk was thicker than a thigh. Amazing, how was it grown?

This friend said that the key to this money tree growing so well at home was, above all, good roots. When caring for it normally, this friend always liked to add LECA (expanded clay pebbles) to the pot. This kind of thing has good air permeability and makes root rot less likely, so when watering normally, there is no need to worry about root rot happening easily. When the root system grows well, the plant will grow well.

After observing this money tree's roots, I found they had grown especially thick, thicker than the friend's leg, hahaha, of course that is a bit of an exaggeration. But on closer look, the roots were indeed very thick and sturdy, appearing straight and plump. The friend said that during normal care, every month they gave the money tree some general-purpose nutrient solution, which can nourish the roots and is absorbed quickly. The root system grew especially well, sturdy and strong, and it looked as if it carried fortune with it, with a sense of bold presence showing outwardly, hahaha.

But some gardening enthusiasts say that even after using the above 2 methods, in the end everything was ruined by watering, which is awkward. The money tree, like pothos, will die once it is overwatered. In particular, some gardening enthusiasts always have itchy hands and cannot control themselves, always liking to add a little more to the soil, and as a result water accumulates and the roots rot. It is recommended to use a plant and flower detector when watering normally. Insert it into the soil and connect it to your phone, and you can know when to water. It is especially convenient.

But the last thing to note is that if the money tree in your home has yellow leaves or scorched leaves, then you must cut them off in time. This can avoid bacterial infection and encourage more new buds to sprout and more new leaves to grow.

Once you grow a money tree, if you want to grow it well, first the roots must be grown well. During normal care, you must control your hands and water a little less. If you still do not know how to grow it, you can also refer to the above care methods. We are all old hands at this, hahaha!
