If you water the money tree like this, it will not only not die, but also keep it green.

1How often should I water the fortune tree?

The money tree has very few roots. Look at the rotten roots below. It’s incredible that such a large trunk has only so few roots.

Therefore, when watering the money tree, you must first check the dryness of the soil in the pot, and then water it when you see that the soil is dry. Basically, water it once every half a month in summer and once every one or two months in winter.

2 What kind of water is best?

1. Rainwater

The fortune tree likes acidic soil and water. Huahua suggests that you can collect some rainwater.

2. Fish water

If you keep fish at home, you can use the fish water to water the money tree. The water used for fish farming contains bait residues and fish excrement, which can provide some nutrients for the growth of the money tree.

3. Add water to beer

Dilute beer and water in a ratio of 1:50, and then use it to water the money tree. It can make the fortune tree flourish.

4. Rice water

Put rice washing water into a mineral water bottle to ferment, then dilute it and water the money tree. This can prevent the leaves of the money tree from turning yellow and keep them green.

What is the best time to water?

Spring and Autumn: The temperature in spring and autumn is suitable for the growth of money trees. Watering is more casual. Huahua recommends that you water them in the morning. If you water them at night, it is best to ensure sufficient ventilation and avoid getting any water on the leaves to avoid leaf rot.

Summer: The temperature is high in summer, so do not water at noon. You can choose morning or evening.

Winter: The temperature is lower in winter, so try to water the plants at noon to reduce damage to the root system.
