How often should I water the fortune tree?

It is generally best to water the money tree once every 2-3 days, but the specific number of times depends on the local climate, temperature, and humidity, so it is impossible to give a completely accurate and fixed answer.

How to water the fortune tree

1. First watering

If you have just bought a money tree, you must water it thoroughly the first time you water it so that the tree can grow roots. Pay attention to the amount of water you water this time. Although you water it thoroughly, make sure there is no water accumulation. Once it grows normally, you can water it at a normal frequency.

2. Watering frequency in spring, summer, autumn and winter

The watering requirements for the money tree vary throughout the year. It grows fastest in the summer and needs a lot of water. And because of the high temperature and rapid evaporation, its demand for water is even greater. It can be watered once or twice a week.

In winter, the frequency of watering should be reduced. In winter, watering once a month is fine. In spring and autumn, the principle of watering when dry and watering when wet will be sufficient. Keep the surface of the potting soil moist and water once a week.

Precautions for watering the fortune tree

1. First of all, it is advisable to use clean water for watering. Never use untreated tap water and rice water, especially rice water. If used improperly, it will directly cause death and there is no room for recovery.

2. The money tree is a plant that is drought-tolerant but not water-tolerant. It is better to keep it in a drought environment than to water it too much, otherwise the roots of the money tree will rot and the whole plant will die.
