Grow a money tree with it, and it will flourish with lush branches and leaves, bearing fruit bigger than a fist.

The money tree (Pachira aquatica) is a green plant loved by many flower enthusiasts. Its plant shape is beautiful, and its stems and leaves are emerald green. It is a very popular indoor ornamental plant, and it carries the meaning of "prosperity and wealth, with money rolling in."

Some flower enthusiasts report that a money tree they have grown for several years rarely blooms or bears fruit, and some have never seen it happen at all. What is going on? Today Hua'er will introduce to everyone how to care for the money tree. Grow the money tree with "it," and the branches and leaves will be lush, and the fruit will be bigger than a fist!

The money tree grows vigorously, and during the growth and flowering period it needs sufficient nutrients. To make it bloom more and bear many fruits, it needs fertilizer with greater and longer-lasting effectiveness, and it should mainly be phosphorus and potassium. The best method is to use earthworm castings, which have strong fertilizer effect and can continuously provide nutrients to the money tree, promoting flowering and fruiting.

Specific method: In summer, earthworm castings can often be seen in parks and along roadsides. Collect some and put them under the sun to bake for 2-3 days until they are completely dry, then crush them into powder. Dig a shallow ring-shaped trench near the edge of the money tree's flower pot, then sprinkle on the earthworm casting powder, and cover it with soil as a base fertilizer.

Besides nutrients, light is also an important factor in making the money tree bloom and bear fruit. It is a day-neutral green plant and needs sufficient light. Many flower enthusiasts place the money tree indoors for care, so the daily light it receives is limited and does not reach the critical point for flowering and fruiting.

It can be moved to a sunny area for care, receiving as much light as possible every day. However, the summer sunlight is strong and will scorch the leaves, so a shade net should be set up for it, with a light transmittance of about 50%, weakening the light intensity so it can better carry out photosynthesis, speed up metabolism, and promote flowering and fruiting.
