Introduction of Small Fortune TreeThe small money tree, also known as the chestnut, Malama millet, and Central American kapok, is a plant of the Bombacaceae family and the Castanea genus. It is grown in Taiwan, Guangzhou, Guangxi, Fujian and other places. Currently, there are three types of money trees on the market: single-stem, three-dragon, and five-dragon. The reproduction methods include sowing, cuttings and grafting. How to cultivate small fortune treeThe temperature of the growth environment of the small money tree is between 20-30 degrees. Adequate sunlight facilitates vigorous growth. During its growth period, attention should be paid to the frequent application of thin fertilizers, mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In addition, when watering, the principle of "prefer dry to wet" should be followed, and diseases and pests should be prevented in time. The small money tree is a sun-loving plant and needs to be provided with sufficient light, with the leaves facing the sun. Pay attention to rotating the pot to ensure even light distribution. Water it frequently in summer and less in winter. Water it more during the growing season and less when it is newly planted in the pot. Apply base fertilizer when planting. The growing season is between May and September, and fertilize it every half a month. Watering methodThe small money tree has a greater demand for water, but it cannot tolerate waterlogging, which will cause the plant's roots to rot and die. If it is watered too little, the branches and leaves will stop growing. Generally, it is sufficient to keep the soil slightly moist. Water frequently in summer and spray more water, and water less in winter. Fertilization methodThe small money tree is suitable for planting in places with fertile soil. It can be planted in fallen leaf humus, or chicken manure fertilizer and bean cake residue fertilizer can be added to the soil. In addition, between May and September is the critical period of growth. Fertilizer should be applied every 15 days so that the plant can grow deep roots and lush leaves. Pruning methodsThe small money tree is generally pruned during the growing season in spring and summer. Just keep 1-2 buds and cut off the rest. New buds will grow after 1 month. Do not water too much after pruning. You can apply some nitrogen fertilizer and maintain it in a dark environment. Be careful not to expose it to too strong light. Precautions for growing small fortune treeThe small money tree is a plant that likes water but is afraid of water. When choosing a flowerpot, it is best to choose a ceramic pot with good air permeability and water permeability. The potting soil can be leaf mold, and some human manure or chicken manure can be added. The maintenance environment must have sufficient light to bathe in the sun. In addition, its common diseases and pests include rot, leaf blight, and sugarcane moth, which need to be sprayed with pesticides for prevention and control. |
