How to color the Money String Succulent to make it look good (What is the main reason for the Money String Succulent to turn red)

The following factors are essential to coloring the succulent money string:

The money string not only has a unique shape and beautiful meaning, but also becomes bright red after coloring, which is very domineering, so it is loved by many flower lovers. So, how to color the money string succulent to make it look good?

⑴ Suitable soil:

When cultivating money plants, it is suitable to use special granular soil for succulents with good drainage and air permeability. The mineral particles in the granular soil can prevent water accumulation and increase root permeability. The mineral trace elements in it are also helpful for coloring.

(2) Adequate light:

A sunny environment is conducive to photosynthesis, which helps pigment deposition and is a key factor in the coloring of succulents.

Therefore, in addition to proper shading in the summer, try to place the money string in an environment with sufficient sunlight so that it can be exposed to more sunlight to help it color quickly.

⑶ Manufacturing temperature difference:

The coloring of succulents is inseparable from the temperature difference between morning and evening of about 10℃. Sufficient light during the day is conducive to the production of nutrients, while the relatively low ambient temperature at night is conducive to reducing nutrient consumption and helping to accumulate nutrients.

This is also the reason why succulents are easiest to color in autumn, because there is sufficient sunshine and a large temperature difference between morning and evening in autumn, which creates favorable conditions for succulents to grow.

Secondly, the plateau area also has the advantages of sufficient sunshine during the day and large temperature difference at night. Not only are the fruits sweet, but succulents are also easier to color.

For example: The reason why Yunnan is known as the "Succulent Paradise" is because it is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and has unique climate advantages.

Outside of autumn and in places where there are no cheats, creating temperature differences for growing succulents can basically only be done through artificial means, such as: creating a small greenhouse environment, adding supplementary lighting to succulents in winter, etc.

⑷ Water sparingly:

Succulent plants are generally drought-resistant. Waterlogging will not only cause them to grow too tall and fade, but may even cause root rot. A relatively dry growing environment is conducive to reducing the water concentration in the cells, increasing the pigment concentration, and is also beneficial for coloring.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop the habit of watering according to the dryness and wetness of the potting soil in daily care. Do not water indiscriminately if the potting soil is not dry.

⑸ Adequate nutrients:

Money tree is a variety that easily grows in clumps. In addition to repotting it every 1-2 years and properly pruning the aging roots, you can apply thin fertilizers frequently during the growing season in spring and autumn, mainly diluted water-soluble fertilizers or slow-release fertilizer granules.

The fertilizer effect is relatively mild and easy to absorb.

The leaves of the money tree with sufficient nutrients are large and look fuller. Even if they are not fully colored, their condition will not be very bad.
