Preparation method of fortune tree flower soil

Soil requirements for money tree flowers

The money tree has high requirements for soil. Loose and fertile are the basic requirements, but you also need to choose soil with good permeability and acid resistance to plant it. You can also directly buy nutrient soil, which will have a better effect.

Preparation method of fortune tree flower soil

The soil for the money tree can be made by mixing garden soil, coarse sand, slag, organic fertilizer, and peanut cake in a ratio of 6:2:2:2:1. After preparation, the soil should be exposed to the sun for a period of time to ensure that the soil is sterile and insect-free.

How to maintain the fortune tree flower with soil

1. Dealing with insects in the flower soil

Watering : The ratio of liquor to water is 1:2. When preventing and controlling pests and diseases, the surface soil of the money tree pot is thoroughly watered. When the indoor temperature is 7℃ in spring, scale insects begin to move. Water once in mid-April, once every half a month, and water 4 times in a row.

Wipe : Soak a cotton ball in 50 ml of vinegar, gently wipe the damaged stems and leaves of flowers and trees with the wet cotton ball, and then wipe off the scale insects. This method is simple and safe. It can not only achieve the purpose of insect prevention, but also restore the damaged leaves to green and bright.

2. Replace flower soil

The soil of the money tree tends to become hardened after being used for a period of time, so it is necessary to change the soil regularly, usually once every one or two years. Otherwise, it will affect the normal growth of the money tree.

3. Add plant ash to the flower soil

The seedlings of the fortune tree can be planted with plant ash, but the seedlings with thick trunks or large crowns cannot be planted with plant ash because plant ash is light and alkaline, which is easy to drift with the wind when dry and with water when wet. After planting in a flowerpot, the surface of the plant ash in the flowerpot is easy to dry and fly with the wind, causing indoor dirt.

4. Flower soil plus eggshell

The root system of the money tree is not well developed, so you can put egg shells in the pot and pour plenty of water to increase the chance of root rot. If it grows well, it is best to apply it in spring. Of course, you can also add egg shells indoors all year round.
