The money tree is a perennial evergreen small tree, known for its thick stem and palmate compound leaves with 5 to 7 leaflets, which are oblong in shape and remain green all year round. With its auspicious name, symbolizing wealth and good fortune, the money tree has become a favorite in many homes and offices. Large potted plants are suitable for placement in shops, while small potted plants are suitable for placement on office desks or computer desks. Both hydroponic and soil cultivation methods are possible. Let’s learn the methods and techniques of planting money trees with your ex-lover.

1. Money trees prefer warm environments

The suitable growth temperature for the money tree is 25 to 32 degrees and it is not cold-resistant. It is recommended not to plant money trees in areas with lower temperatures. In winter, the ambient temperature needs to be kept above 10 degrees, and watering should be controlled. It is safer to keep the potting soil moderately dry. Too little temperature or too much water can cause yellowing leaves. Therefore, in winter, it is necessary to ensure that the money tree is in a warm environment. The southern cities are suitable for the growth of money trees due to their warm climate.

2. Keep the soil moist during the growth period to avoid water accumulation

Spring and autumn are the peak growth periods for the money tree. At this time, the soil in the pot should be kept moist, and a thin layer of compound fertilizer or cake fertilizer water should be applied once a month. It is not advisable to apply fertilizer in summer and winter to avoid affecting growth. It is more appropriate to use a large and deep flowerpot to plant the money tree. The potting soil can be made of leaf mold, peat soil mixed with garden soil and a small amount of river sand, and add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer .

3. The fortune tree is suitable for diffuse light environment

The money tree is not very demanding on light, but is afraid of strong direct sunlight. Although it likes light, it is also shade-tolerant. During daily maintenance, there is no need to move it outdoors frequently to bask in the sun. Placing it on the inside of a balcony or indoors under bright scattered light can keep the leaves green. Remember, the money tree in your home should not be exposed to direct sunlight. It can be exposed to the sun appropriately in winter.

In short, if you follow the above maintenance points, the money tree will thrive. Pay attention to controlling watering, keeping the soil in the pot moderately dry, and preventing frost damage in autumn and winter, and the money tree will become more lush year by year. Timely pruning of branches can maintain their beautiful shape.
