How to make the leaves of the money tree greener?

If you want the money tree you keep at home to grow vigorously and have dark green leaves, you must provide proper water, fertilizer and light care based on its growth habits.

1. Suitable soil for growth

When planting money trees, be sure to use loose, fertile, well-drained soil. If the soil in the pot is too sticky and alkaline, it will easily form compaction, and the plants will mostly grow weak and have poor ornamental value.

When preparing the culture soil, you can collect some leaf mold, or add a small amount of organic fertilizer into the culture soil to increase the nutrients in the potting soil.

2. Nutritional supplementation during growth

During the period of vigorous growth of the plant, it has a greater demand for nutrients. You can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once every half a month , or ferment some cake fertilizer water, rice water, etc., dilute it with water and then pour it into the flowerpot.

As long as there is sufficient nutrition during the growth period, the plant will grow a lot of branches and leaves, and the leaves will be darker green and shiny.

3. Trim away messy branches and leaves

Under the condition of ensuring reasonable water, fertilizer and light, the plant's branches and leaves have a strong ability to sprout, which requires regular pruning of some messy branches and leaves. If pruning and shaping are not performed for a long time, it will not only affect the beauty of the plant shape, but too many messy branches will also consume a lot of nutrients.

Normal pruning mainly removes dead branches, diseased branches, inner branches, and messy branches. Excessively long branches can be shortened. Proper pruning of branches and leaves can reduce nutrient consumption, maintain ventilation and light transmission between branches and leaves, and make the plants grow more vigorously.

If the leaves of the money tree you keep at home turn yellow and it is not growing vigorously enough, you can change the soil in the pot first, and then regularly fertilize it with some diluted fertilizer and water during the growth period.

Water the plant when it is dry and wet, expose it to scattered light frequently, and trim the messy branches. This way, the plant will grow luxuriantly and become greener under the action of water and fertilizer.
