How to grow a money tree

1. Soil

The money tree has slightly fleshy tuberous roots, so the soil should be loose, fertile, and loam rich in organic matter.

2. Lighting

The money tree has strong requirements for light but is afraid of direct sunlight, so it needs to be maintained in an environment with bright and scattered light.

3. Temperature

Money tree is a tropical plant and has high temperature requirements. The room temperature for growth is between 20 and 32 degrees. The recommended wintering temperature is above 10 degrees. If it is below 5 degrees, there will be obvious frost damage.

4. Watering

It should not be watered too much during maintenance and requires high air humidity. If you water too much or the soil is too sticky, water will accumulate and cause root rot.

5. Fertilization

It has a higher demand for fertilizer during maintenance. In the early stage, an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer should be mixed into the potting soil as base fertilizer. During the growing season, apply a thin layer of well-rotted liquid fertilizer or a full-vegetable compound fertilizer every 10 to 15 days. After autumn, the potassium content in fertilizer should be increased to promote strong growth and increase resistance to wintering.
