How to care for the fortune tree in winter

Is the fortune tree afraid of cold?

The money tree is afraid of cold. It is a plant that likes warmth. The suitable temperature for its growth is between 20℃-30℃. It is difficult for it to grow normally in a low temperature environment. If the temperature is too low, it may be frozen to death.

If the temperature at home is below 10 degrees, you can wrap the trunk of the money tree with cotton, sweaters, etc., and cover the branches with plastic bags at night to keep them warm.

How to care for the fortune tree in winter

1. Temperature: The temperature of the Money Tree during winter should be controlled above 5°C to prevent it from turning yellow or withering due to low temperature. When the temperature drops in winter, move it indoors in time and keep the temperature above 10°C.

2. Water: The money tree grows slowly in winter and its water evaporates rapidly. At this time, watering should be controlled in time to avoid water accumulation in the pot, which will cause poor growth of the plant.

3. Light: The money tree likes light, but the light is weak in winter, so it needs to be maintained in a full-sun environment, so that its leaf nodes are short, the leaves are wide, the leaves are dark green, and the base of the stem is enlarged.

4. Sunbathing : The money tree can be exposed to the sun in winter. More sun exposure helps the money tree to keep warm and photosynthesize, and can also improve its cold resistance.

Precautions for winter cultivation of fortune tree

1. In winter, the money tree should be moved indoors to avoid being harmed by smoke. Smoke will turn the leaves yellow and reduce its ornamental value. Therefore, try not to place the plant near smoke outlets or air conditioner outlets.

2. The money tree does not have strict requirements for water. It can grow normally without watering for 10 days indoors. However, the amount of watering in winter must be controlled in time. It is best to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Usually, the room temperature is controlled between 12~18℃, and water it once a month.
