Grow This Flower and Your Home's Feng Shui Improves, and Your Wealth Fortune Grows Stronger Too
When it comes to plants that are popular to keep at home and also popular to keep at the office, after counting them all up, it comes down to the Money Tree (Pachira aquatica). The Money Tree has an auspicious meaning and a clean, elegant look, and placing one at home gives it quite a commanding presence.
Many friends choose the Money Tree as the very first plant they keep, but those keeping a plant for the first time usually find that as time goes on, for no apparent reason, the Money Tree loses its vigor and heads downhill.
Don't worry, today Huahua will tell everyone how the Money Tree should be cared for.
Watering
The reason watering is put first is to tell everyone that watering really matters for the Money Tree. Compared with other plants, the Money Tree's root system is not very developed. When many friends' Money Trees run into problems, the first thing to consider should be improper watering causing root rot. On ordinary days, reduce watering the plant; since the Money Tree is an ornamental large-leaf plant, you can mainly mist it. When you normally want to water the Money Tree, just mist its leaves. The Money Tree is very drought-tolerant, and it's fine not to water it for more than ten days!
Living Environment
The Money Tree is highly adaptable and can live well in any kind of environment, but for the plant's own sake, in summer you should still provide some shade to avoid scorching that turns the leaves yellow and withered and affects the plant's appearance. But don't put it in a completely dark place either; if it goes more than a month without sunlight, even the toughest plant can't take it, so it's best to place it in a spot indoors with diffused light, where there is light but no direct sun. In winter, also keep the Money Tree indoors so it doesn't suffer frost damage.
Soil
The Money Tree's requirements for soil are also very simple; normally, soil with good air permeability and good looseness will do, and you can mix in some coarse sand to boost air permeability. A newly potted Money Tree doesn't need fertilizing; once it has been kept for a longer time, you can consider giving the Money Tree a little light fertilizer. It must be light fertilizer, not concentrated fertilizer, otherwise it easily causes the plant discomfort.
Pests and Diseases
Normally pay attention to preventing pests and diseases on the plant. For this matter, prevention is greater than treatment; you can buy some dedicated plant insecticide to prevent the plant from suffering pests and diseases.
Overall, the Money Tree, as an entry-level plant to grow, is still very easy to keep. If your Money Tree runs into problems, don't be discouraged; with the right practices and good care for a while, the Money Tree will regain its vitality.
