How to care for the Money Tree (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) in spring? Remember these methods

The Money Tree has an excellent symbolic meaning, signifying abundant wealth, and its plant shape is also quite attractive. Because of these characteristics, many friends ask me about growing a few pots of it at home or in the office. It is now spring, and the temperature is gradually rising, which makes the environment very suitable for plant growth. If you want the Money Tree to grow well, it depends on whether it is cared for properly in spring. So how should the Money Tree be cared for in spring? Let's take a look together.

1. Soil selection

To prevent the Money Tree's fleshy roots and tubers from rotting due to water accumulation, the soil mix should preferably be loose, breathable sandy soil, which can be mixed with ordinary leaf mold or pine needle soil. This not only ensures sufficient fertility but also has good water permeability and breathability, and will not cause root rot.

2. Light and temperature

The Money Tree is a shade-loving plant and can be grown in a ventilated environment near windowsills in living rooms and bedrooms with scattered light, but it is afraid of strong light exposure, which can easily cause yellowing and drying of the leaves. Therefore, in an environment with suitable temperature and often no direct sunlight, it can also grow very well relying on lamplight. The Money Tree likes warmth and is afraid of cold, especially its tubers, which are extremely vulnerable to frost damage in winter. So many friends grow it very well in spring, summer, and autumn, but once winter comes, it suffers frost damage and cannot be saved. Now that the temperature is getting higher and higher, the Money Tree has also entered its vigorous growth period. Under temperature conditions of 20-30 degrees, it very easily sprouts new leaves and grows rapidly at the same time.

3. Watering

When it comes to watering the Money Tree, you can be appropriately lazy, because its underground tubers have a very strong water storage capacity, so short-term drought will not pose any threat to it. Therefore, in spring, the potting soil can also follow the principle of not watering until it is completely dry, preferring dry over wet, and being careful to prevent water accumulation and root rot.

4. Fertilizing

To promote the Money Tree's rapid growth and new leaf sprouting in spring, you can shallowly bury a few cooked soybeans, granular compound fertilizer, or chicken manure fertilizer around the pot, or water it once a month by drenching the roots with diluted water-soluble fertilizer. At the same time, to increase the ornamental value of the leaves, you can also often wipe the leaves with clean water or a diluted beer solution. Sufficient fertilizer and water can not only make the leaves thick and glossy, but also make them more ornamental.
