Money Tree Is Easy to Grow: Practical Indoor Care Tips to Share

In the eyes of experienced plant lovers, the money tree is a very easy indoor potted plant to grow. However, in daily life, it turns out that many friends keep their money trees half-dead. You also often see cases where improper care causes the money tree to develop root rot.

The money tree is a fairly common decorative plant nowadays, with fairly cute leaves and a rather elegant shape. There are also quite a few friends who like money trees. They can not only be placed in the living room to decorate the environment, but also in public places such as hospitals, shopping malls and restaurants. Some large money tree potted plants are over two meters tall, and are even tied with colorful ribbons, looking very beautiful.

Some friends busy with work also like to place a pot of lushly growing money tree in front of their office desk. When they feel stressed, they can admire the money tree for a while, which can make them feel very relaxed. It can be seen that the money tree has now become one of the green plants that people quite like, and it also plays an indispensable role in life.

Although in the eyes of most plant lovers, this plant is not difficult to grow. But for some beginners, growing a money tree is also difficult. Coupled with inadequate management, the plant is very prone to root rot. Generally, when most friends see root rot in the plant, they will directly throw it away. In fact, as long as you master a fairly practical little trick, you can bring a money tree with root rot back to life.

1. When friends see that the leaves of a once vibrant money tree have become shriveled, or even turned yellow and fallen off, then the roots have most likely rotted. Friends can take the money tree out of the flower pot and press the roots with their hands; they can clearly feel that the roots are especially soft.

2. At this time, friends should use a sterilized blade to completely cut off all the rotted roots. Note that healthy bark should not be peeled off, otherwise the plant will easily die. Then place the plant in a potassium permanganate solution to disinfect it, generally soaking for about ten minutes. After soaking, apply some plant ash to the wound, and then place it in a ventilated place to dry for a period of time.

3. After the wound has completely healed, friends should place it in a tray, with some clean water in the container below. Then place the money tree in a semi-shaded and ventilated environment for care. Generally after about one month, the money tree whose roots have been trimmed will grow white roots.

Friends can wait until the roots have grown a bit longer, then transplant it into a flower pot. Note that when transplanting, do not break the root system. Also pay attention to watering; try to spray more water on the leaves, but do not water into the flower pot. After caring for it this way for about two months, it can be placed in an environment with relatively ample light, and the money tree will be full of vitality again.
