How much does a money tree cost? Detailed explanation of care precautions
The money tree was originally an evergreen tree, but because of its excellent ornamental effect, it was brought into people's homes. Let's learn about the relevant knowledge about it below.
I. Care precautions for the money tree
1. For newly purchased potted plants, if they are growing vigorously and the pot is indeed too small, they can also be repotted in July or August, taking advantage of the plant's semi-dormant state during the high-temperature period. Do it carefully so that the mother soil does not scatter, and water thoroughly after planting, without affecting growth. This tree species has relatively strict requirements for potting soil and prefers acidic sandy loam soil that drains well and contains humus.
2. Potted money trees should be repotted once every 1-2 years, carried out in spring when they are moved outdoors, and necessary pruning should be done on yellow leaves and thin weak branches to encourage new shoots to sprout. Watering should follow the principle of alternating dry and wet; in spring and autumn, adjust the frequency of watering according to sunny or rainy weather and dry or wet conditions. Generally, water once a day; when the temperature exceeds 35°C, water at least twice a day. During the growing season, fertilize twice a month. For newly grown leaves, also pay attention to spraying water to maintain relatively high environmental humidity.
3. After moving indoors in winter, the temperature should not be lower than 5°C, and keeping it around 10°C is better. Water once every 5-7 days, and make sure to provide relatively sufficient light.
II. Prevention and control of stem rot in the money tree
This is a common disease that seriously harms the money tree, also known as rot disease. The symptoms are that the stem base to the root turns dark brown, rots, and the young leaves lose vitality and wither.
Prevention and control methods:
(1) Keep the cultivation environment dry and cool, and pay attention to disinfecting the cultivation medium and site;
(2) After semi-finished products are taken out of the cabinet and unloaded to the operation shed, immediately spray the head of the money tree with a 1000-1500 times dilution of Bijunsha to prevent the harm of gray mold fungus;
(3) Before planting, use a sharp knife to cut off the twisted and rotten tissue at the top of the main root, then spray the wound with a 300 times dilution of Genfusuxiao, and plant after it dries;
(4) One week after planting, the medium in the pot gradually dries, healing tissue has formed, and new roots have begun to grow. Spray the bare trunk of the money tree with Previcur and Ridomil-MZ, preferably so that the liquid flows along the trunk into the potting soil. Afterward, use fungicides such as Anke, carbendazim, Ridomil, or Yishuangling in rotation once a week;
(5) If Pythium is active, spray with Penjunjun and Ridomil; the general efficacy lasts about two weeks. If the weather is still unfavorable, spray with a different agent again to prevent the development of resistance. If any rotting plant is found during this period, it should be discarded immediately.
