The happiness tree is kept in the living room, its leaves remain emerald green all year round and it grows vigorously

Many people like to keep the happiness tree indoors. It was originally called the bean tree (Radermachera sinica). Growing in nature, it can reach 7 or 8 m tall. It has dense branches and leaves, and it is also very suitable to grow it as a large indoor green plant. Kept as a potted plant indoors, it can maintain a good plant shape and looks quite elegant.

The happiness tree also has some very small forms, that is, some younger plants. Grown in a pot, it grows especially slowly, and it does not need frequent care during cultivation. These mini potted plants are a good choice for a bright indoor environment, and paired with small ceramic pots they look very cute, bringing a graceful and natural look to the interior.

Caring for the happiness tree requires maintaining a warm and humid environment all year round. The growing location should stay ventilated, and it should be kept away from positions with overly strong light. It can grow well in a bright spot or one with scattered light.

As a potted plant kept indoors, the happiness tree does not need much light, but do not keep it in a completely dark place, and do not keep it in a closed, stuffy space, otherwise it will easily drop leaves and also easily get fungal diseases, and in serious cases the branches and leaves will wither.

If you want the happiness tree to grow more branches and leaves, you can prune it regularly in spring and summer. This can promote continuous branching and help the branches and leaves grow vigorously.

Caring for a potted happiness tree also requires keeping the soil appropriately moist, but the soil must not be too wet, and the potting soil must not have standing water, otherwise it will easily cause root and stem rot. An indoor happiness tree can be watered thoroughly after the soil has dried out, especially after the weather turns cold in autumn and winter, when watering needs to be controlled to avoid soggy soil.

The happiness tree is a tropical foliage plant and likes an indoor environment with relatively high humidity. If the air is too dry, its leaves will easily dry up and turn yellow.

If the indoor environment is relatively dry, you need to spray water around it often to increase the indoor air humidity. Of course, you can also put some small pebbles on a tray and then add a little clean water,

Of course, you can also run a humidifier nearby, so that relatively high air humidity can be maintained, which helps promote better growth of the happiness tree.

For growing the happiness tree, choose a loose, breathable soil with good drainage. You can add some peat soil and perlite to the soil, and you can also add some river sand. Some small pebbles can be added at the bottom of the pot.
