Grow a Money Tree this way, and it won't get root rot or yellow leaves

The Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) has an underdeveloped, even very thin and weak root system, is especially sensitive to watering, and has a poor tolerance for water, making it very prone to root rot and yellow leaves from overwatering. Money Trees rot their roots easily, which really gives many plant enthusiasts a headache. In fact, as long as we can master this method of growing a Money Tree, we can keep it from both root rot and yellow leaves, and it can also grow lush and leafy with verdant foliage.

To prevent the Money Tree from developing root rot and yellow leaves, we can usually add a little vitamin C and beer to water and mix it into an aqueous solution. After shaking the solution thoroughly, once the potting soil has dried out completely and the Money Tree needs watering, use it instead of plain water to drench the roots. The method of use is also very simple, making it a very practical care method in the process of growing a Money Tree.

First we prepare one vitamin C tablet, then grind it into powder, and put it into 800 ml of plain water to let it dissolve fully. At the same time, we add some nutrients to it by putting another 15-20 ml of beer into the water, preferably expired beer. After adding these substances to the water, shake it thoroughly, then directly water the Money Tree with it.

This aqueous solution is very easily and quickly absorbed by the Money Tree's roots, and it is rich in nutrients, but at the same time it will not cause root burn; we only need to water the Money Tree's potting soil thoroughly. This is because beer is rich in low-molecular sugars, as well as large amounts of amino acids, phosphates and other nutrients needed for plant growth. And generally it does not need to be fermented to be well absorbed by the plant's roots, while adding vitamin C not only supplements nutrients but also makes the potting soil slightly acidic, which suits the taste of the Money Tree, an acid-loving plant, very well.

Moreover, when using this kind of nutrient water instead of plain water to water the Money Tree, the frequency is not high; generally watering it once a month is enough. It not only prevents the yellowing of leaves caused by soil salinization in the Money Tree's pot, but also provides the plant with rich nutrients, thereby meeting its needs for rapid growth.

A Money Tree grown this way not only avoids root rot and yellow leaves, but can also keep its foliage verdant and its branches and leaves lush, and even its stem grows thicker and sturdier, making it easier for a cute big belly to bulge out on the upper part of the root stem. Therefore, the ornamental value of a potted Money Tree is naturally higher as well.

But if we mix up too much solution at one time, do not pour the excess into the pot, and do not pour it away either, otherwise it will both waste resources. Instead, collect it and store it properly, and it can still be used next time. This naturally saves quite a lot of resources, thus avoiding waste, and it will not adversely affect the Money Tree's growth due to overuse.
