Money Tree Care Methods and Placement Tips to Help Your Wealth Roll In
As the saying goes, “A gentleman loves wealth but obtains it in a proper way.” People today have different standards for what makes a gentleman, but the pursuit of an abundant material life is shared by all. The money tree (Pachira aquatica) is a common ornamental plant for homes and offices. Its leaves are broad and emerald green, and its name is both auspicious and pleasant to hear, earning it the favor and affection of many people. So what should you pay attention to when it comes to money tree care methods? The placement of the money tree matters, and only when it is placed well will its wealth-attracting effect show. Below, let's take a look together.
I. Money Tree Care Methods
1. Generally, caring for flowers and plants requires attention to three aspects: light, water, and fertilizer. The money tree is no exception. To care for a money tree with a good shape, you need to find a light spot suitable for its growth. The money tree needs to be placed in a spot with ample light, and one detail to note is that its leaf surface should face the light.
2. The money tree has strong drought tolerance, but it still needs timely watering. Generally, watering once every 15 to 20 days or so is enough.
3. As for fertilizing, note that during its growing season, it needs to be fertilized once every half month.
II. Money Tree Placement Feng Shui
The money tree has a beautiful plant shape, emerald green stems and leaves, and very flexible branches that can be woven into shapes. It has strong sprouting ability; when old branches are cut back, new branches and leaves quickly grow, making it very suitable for placement in shops and factories at opening and for home decoration.
1. The money tree belongs to the Wood element in the Five Elements and is shade-tolerant, making it suitable for placement in a study, or in the south, east, and southeast of an office. It is best placed in a sunny and ventilated spot where it can receive scattered light, which benefits its photosynthesis and reduces the occurrence of leggy growth or yellow leaves.
2. When placed in the living room, it should be put in the "bright wealth position." The bright wealth position refers to the spot in the home that gathers wealth; it is the diagonal position from your front door. Placing the money tree in the bright wealth position not only “gathers wealth” and keeps it growing vigorously, but also helps you prosper your family and household.
3. Taboos for money tree feng shui placement: do not place the money tree in a walkway, do not place it directly facing a toilet, and do not place it in a high position.
