Many flower lovers like to keep some plants and flowers at home; taking a look at them when free is quite pleasant, and some enthusiasts even touch the leaves a few times, adding a bit of fun to their leisure time, and many plants can also purify the air. Our common indoor plants include pothos, clivia, spider plant, etc., and some enthusiasts also keep a pot of money tree (Pachira aquatica), after all, its "meaning" is good, and lucky bamboo and money tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) are also good. If it is a green plant like the money tree, how should it be cared for?

When the weather turns cool, give the money tree a "pill" and new shoots keep "popping" out, growing so vigorously!

This "pill" is aspirin. If you grow a money tree in winter, we can water the money tree once every 2 weeks. When watering, pay attention: it is not enough to simply water with tap water. We can use one aspirin tablet dissolved in 1 kilogram of water, mix and stir thoroughly, and only then use it to water the plant. This can help the money tree survive the winter safely and avoid root rot and yellow leaves.

It is not only for watering flowers; it can also be used when flowers have just been transplanted, repotted, or newly planted. During transplanting, the roots will inevitably be damaged, affecting the roots' absorption capacity, thereby delaying the time for the plant to establish itself, and some plants may even die as a result. Use 2 aspirin tablets, add 0.5 kilograms of water, and water the plant; this can greatly shorten the time to establish and increase the plant's survival rate.

It can also be used for other flowers. During the period from when the flower buds swell to flowering, spraying with an aspirin solution can effectively reduce flower and bud drop. Using some aspirin during cuttings can increase the survival rate of the branches. Before taking cuttings, first spray the branches with aspirin at a ratio of 1:1000, then cut the cuttings, soak them in an aspirin solution for 4 hours at a ratio of 1:5000, let them dry in the shade, and then take cuttings; this can increase the survival rate by 10%.

Now let's talk about the care of the money tree: to grow a money tree well, first pay attention to sunlight. The money tree likes high temperatures, humidity, and sunlight, and cannot be shaded for a long time. During care and management, it should be placed in a spot indoors with ample sunlight. When placing it, the leaf surface must face the sunlight. Otherwise, because the leaves are phototropic, the entire branches and leaves will become distorted. 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.

A potted money tree at home has relatively high requirements for temperature and humidity. If the temperature is low or humidity is lacking, leaf drop often occurs, and in severe cases the branches become bare, which not only hinders viewing but also easily causes the plant to die. Therefore, during care, 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 wintering cold protection and freeze protection management.
