How can a fortune tree grow taller?

1. If it is a cutting of the fortune tree

In many cases, the money trees we buy are all propagated by cuttings. At this point, its main stem will no longer grow taller, and only the newly grown branches will continue to grow taller and thicker.

2. If it is not cut

1. Suitable temperature

It likes moist and warm places with adequate sunshine, and its best growth temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees. In summer, the temperature is higher, which is very conducive to its growth, especially during its most vigorous growth period. During this stage, nutrients need to be supplemented in time to make its branches grow strong. Then in winter, the temperature cannot be lower than 5 degrees, 18 to 20 degrees is best.

2. Proper lighting

It does not require much light and can grow normally under strong or weak light. However, if it is exposed to sunlight all day, the plant shape can become compact and the stem nodes can be shortened, especially making the stem thicker, thereby increasing the ornamental effect. If there is not enough light, it will grow slowly. Therefore, when placing it in a cool place, the light cannot be too dim, otherwise the plant will grow tall and thin, affecting its shape.

3. Change the pot in time

When raising it, you need to change the pot every 1 to 2 years, and the pot needs to be larger year by year. At the same time, apply base fertilizer and replace the soil to allow it to grow better.

4. Apply fertilizer appropriately

During the growth process, it is necessary to add fertilizer once every 20 days or so. If it is in the flowering period, phosphorus fertilizer can be used, and if it is in the growth period, nitrogen fertilizer can be added.
