The Money Tree has a little habit; once you remember it, anyone can grow it lush and thriving
A few days ago I posted an article about yellowing leaves on the Money Tree, and after many gardening friends saw it, they asked Chengcheng to explain in more detail exactly how to grow the Money Tree well! Chengcheng tells you: actually, growing the Money Tree well is really not hard at all, as long as we understand its habits!
1. Light must be sufficient
Many gardening friends think the Money Tree cannot be exposed to the sun and always place it in a rather dark spot, but then the Money Tree will certainly not grow well!
The Money Tree does not dislike light; it is only afraid of scorching sun. If grown outdoors, apart from shading it at midday in summer, at other times it should still be placed in a spot with fairly good light! And if the Money Tree is grown indoors, then it should be placed in a sunny spot all year round! Everyone remember: if light is insufficient, the Money Tree will grow slowly, and its leaves will also be small and yellow!
2. Do not water until the soil is completely dry
I have told everyone many times before: when growing the Money Tree, if the potting soil is not completely dry, you absolutely must not water it. This point must be remembered firmly. Many gardening friends fail with the Money Tree basically because they ruin it on this point!
3. Use light fertilizer and apply it frequently
If you want the Money Tree to grow lush with thick, green, glossy leaves, fertilizing is key! To fertilize the Money Tree, use a compound fertilizer with a balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The amount should not be too large; using it twice a month is enough. You can either water it into the roots or spray the leaves!
In addition,the Money Tree rather likes slightly acidic soil. Besides needing the soil to be loose and breathable, it is best to use ferrous sulfate once a month to supplement the soil with acidity!
These are the Money Tree's habits. As long as we grow it according to these habits, there is no way to fail with the Money Tree!
