How do you grow a money tree so it becomes lush and leafy? You need to master the daily care methods

Many people like to grow the money tree. It is a well-known foliage plant with emerald-green leaves that look very beautiful, and it can also purify the air. Its symbolism is also very auspicious: wealth rolling in and unstoppable momentum. So it is very necessary for us to learn some growing techniques to make it grow beautifully, which is even more beneficial for feng shui.

Care points to make the money tree lush and leafy

1. Soil

The money tree likes soft, fertile soil, which helps with drainage and will not damage the roots. Using ordinary soil mixed with soybean cake residue as the growing medium is very beneficial for it.

2. Temperature

The money tree likes a temperature of around 20 degrees. It is best to place it at an east-facing window at home, where it can get sunlight without being exposed to harsh sun. The temperature is suitable, and it is also good for feng shui.

The leaves should face the sunlight, so the leaves will not twist and can grow emerald green and upright.

3. Water

In summer, watering about twice a week is enough, and in winter once a month is enough. But special situations need special treatment. Before watering, remember to touch the soil. It is better to let it be dry than wet. The money tree is drought-tolerant but not waterlogging-tolerant. If you do not water it, it may not necessarily die even after two months. Its root system is very fragile, and once it is too waterlogged, it can easily die.

Besides daily watering, you can usually spray a little water on the leaves every 3-5 days, which can make the leaves even more beautiful.

4. Fertilizing

During the money tree's growing season, we need to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer twice a month, using them in a balanced way, to provide sufficient nutrients for its growth and help it grow better.

The above are the daily care methods to make the money tree lush and leafy. Did everyone get it? For more information related to the money tree, please continue to follow Huayugu website!

How do you make a money tree lush and leafy?

The money tree, as the name suggests. The reason many people like to grow money trees is probably largely related to its name. Keeping one in the office or at home can bring some benefits to one's wealth luck.

Of course, the money tree is a tall evergreen tree. Its branches and leaves are lush and it is also extremely beautiful. It has no unpleasant odor and can also regulate indoor temperature. It can be said to be an essential plant for home and office!

The money tree has very strong growth power, few pests and diseases, and especially strong adaptability. In daily care, it does not require a lot of effort.

These past two days, many friends have been asking in the backend how to grow money trees. Now Zhijun will tell everyone the methods for growing money trees. Read carefully!

Required soil: loose garden soil or peat soil, leaf mold, coarse sand

Suitable temperature: 20°C-30°C.

Daily preferences: warm, humid, sunny or slightly shaded environment.

Avoid: cold and wet. In a cold, damp environment, the leaves of the money tree will develop ulcer-like frost spots.

Other: When the money tree has just been planted, it is at the root-developing stage, so be sure to remember to water it more!

Usually, when growing a money tree at home, we only need to pay attention to the following 4 points!

1. The money tree likes high temperatures, humidity and sunlight, and cannot be kept in shade for a long time.

Therefore, during care and management, it should be placed in a sunny spot indoors. When placing it, the leaf surface must face the sunlight. Otherwise, because the leaves are phototropic, the entire branches and leaves will twist. In addition, every 3 to 5 days, use a spray bottle to spray water on the leaves once. This not only helps photosynthesis proceed, but also makes the branches and leaves look more attractive.

2. The money tree is a flowering plant that likes fertilizer, and its demand for fertilizer is greater than that of other common flowering plants.

When repotting each year, the proportion of fertilizer soil can account for 30%, or even more. The sources of fertilizer soil are wide. You can collect humus soil from broadleaf tree fallen leaves, add a little garden soil and mixed bone meal and soybean cake residue, and mix them together. This fertilizer soil has high effectiveness and is convenient and easy to obtain, but note that it should be fully decomposed to avoid burning the leaves yellow.

3. During the money tree's growing period (May to September), every 15 days, apply once a fully decomposed liquid fertilizer or mixed flower-growing fertilizer to promote deep roots and lush leaves.

4. The money tree has relatively high requirements for temperature and humidity. If the temperature is relatively low or humidity is lacking, leaf drop often occurs. In severe cases, the branches become bare, which not only affects ornamental value, but also very easily causes the plant to die.

Therefore, attention should be paid to maintaining a temperature above 15°C, and frequently spraying water on the branches and leaves to increase the necessary humidity. In late autumn and winter, attention should be paid to overwintering cold protection and freeze protection management.

Do these well, and a beautiful money tree can be grown by you especially vigorously!
