How to grow a money tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) at home: care methods and precautions

The leaves of the money tree look like strings of coins, which is why it is called the money tree. Many people believe this plant can bring wealth, so they like to grow it. Below, let's look at the growing methods and precautions for the money tree.

Money tree growing methods and precautions: Part One

Money tree division method: Break it apart by hand at the weak points of the tuber, and bury it shallowly in the flower pot at a depth of about 2cm. Division is best done at temperatures above 18°C, and some plant ash should be sprinkled appropriately on the broken surfaces.

Light preference of the money tree: The money tree likes light and also tolerates shade, so it is best to place it in a spot with plenty of light but some shade cover, which satisfies its light needs while avoiding direct strong light that causes the money tree's leaves to turn yellow.

Suitable temperature for the money tree: 20-32°C is the suitable growing temperature for the money tree. When summer temperatures exceed 35°C, growth slows down, and black shading material should be used to lower the temperature; when winter temperatures drop below 5°C, the money tree may suffer frost damage, so it should be moved indoors promptly to keep warm.

Soil moisture for the money tree: The money tree prefers a relatively dry soil environment, so the soil should be kept in a slightly dry state. In summer, because water evaporates in large amounts, water once a day; in autumn and winter, reduce the frequency of watering as much as possible, and mainly spray the leaves of the money tree.

Fertilizing the money tree: The money tree is very greedy and likes to be nourished with fertilizer. It is best to fertilize twice a month during its growing stage and when the temperature is above 15°C. Fertilizer types are available for sale at flower markets. But when the temperature is below 15°C, fertilization should be stopped, otherwise the rhizomes will rot and the leaves will turn yellow.
