Habits of the money tree

The money tree is a perennial evergreen shrub that likes warm, humid, sunny or slightly shaded environments, and the most suitable temperature for growth is 20°C to 30°C. The high-temperature and high-humidity season in summer is very favorable for the growth of the money tree and is also its fastest growing period, so at this stage fertilizer and water management should be strengthened to make it grow robustly.

In winter, it must not go below 5°C, and it is best to keep it at 18°C to 20°C. It dislikes cold and damp conditions; in a humid environment, the leaves are very prone to ulcer-like frost spots, which detracts from their ornamental value.

Potted money tree care is relatively simple; generally use loose garden soil or peat soil, leaf mold, coarse sand, plus a small amount of compound fertilizer or chicken manure as base fertilizer and growing medium.

The role of the money tree

The money tree can beautify the home. The money tree is an evergreen tree with large flowers and split petals; the flowers may be red, white or pale yellow, and the colors are bright. A plant with green leaves is a treat for the eyes, and with flowers it is a good choice for appreciation. Placing it at home undoubtedly adds a touch of beauty to the home.

The money tree is especially good at purifying indoor air. Even under weak light or high carbon dioxide concentrations, the money tree can still carry out photosynthesis efficiently and effectively eliminate carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide pollution in the air. In addition, the money tree has strong transpiration and can effectively regulate indoor temperature and humidity, and it can also resist harmful gases produced by cigarettes. If the money tree and Buddhist pine are combined, the effect will be even better; it can be called a perfect pairing, unmatched in the world.
