A flower lover took only two months to grow a bare money tree into a lush and leafy one. How did he do it?

1. If the money tree doesn’t grow, it’s probably because the soil is bad.

In order to save money and time, many florists directly use garden soil to plant money trees, which is not water-permeable and breathable. In addition, the root system of the money tree is very underdeveloped, so it greatly affects the root growth of the money tree. If the root system grows unhealthy, it is naturally difficult for the tree to grow luxuriantly.

Therefore, if flower lovers find that the money tree is bare and has no leaves, they can check whether the soil in the pot is loose and breathable. If it is ordinary garden soil, then the solution is to change the soil immediately.

The planting soil for the money tree can be mixed with equal amounts of leaf mold, garden soil, and river sand. Then, apply enough rotted pig manure as base fertilizer when potting, and place broken tiles and stones under the flowerpot to facilitate drainage. When planting, don't plant too deep.

Some flower lovers also suggested using red clay: garden soil: river sand: distiller's grains in a ratio of 1:1:1:0.5 to grow money trees better. This requires everyone to go to the winery and ask for some lees.

2. Watering is important

The money tree is a southern tree species that prefers slightly acidic soil. For flower lovers in the north, water is alkaline. If the water quality is not well controlled, the money tree will definitely not be able to be grown well.

Solution:

You can buy some baking yeast or lactic acid bacteria tablets or rice wine yeast and mix them together. Use rice flour to make soup and let it cool. Then put it into a plastic bucket, add 2 bags of yeast powder, shake well and leave it for more than 10 days. Open the lid and smell it. If there is a sour smell of yeast, it is ok; as long as it does not grow black or green hair and does not have a bad smell, it can be used. When using, pour out 20-50 ml and dilute with water before use. This vinegar is both a soil acidity regulator and an excellent fertilizer.

When watering, you can also add a little urea, potassium fertilizer, and ferrous sulfate to the water. With sufficient nutrients, the money tree will soon grow sprouts. When watering, it is best to use rainwater.

After watering the money tree, you can use a small wooden stick to poke a few holes in the flowerpot, making sure to insert it to the bottom. This can increase the air permeability of the tree roots and reduce root diseases and rot caused by lack of oxygen. But the next time you water, the small holes must be filled.

For large money trees, be sure to check the flowerpot and wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry before considering watering. The dryness of the soil on the surface of the flowerpot does not mean that the soil inside the pot is also dry. The money tree is drought-tolerant but not water-tolerant. For money trees with deep pots and abundant soil, the watering time can be appropriately extended. Generally, watering is sufficient after one to two months.

3. Make sure the lighting is good!

If you want the money tree to sprout more and grow more leaves, light is also very important. If there is sufficient light, the tree can grow healthily even if it is not direct sunlight. What the money tree needs is sufficient scattered light, not direct sunlight.

If there is insufficient light, the money tree will gradually lose its vitality, slowly become sick and die. Therefore, if you want to grow a money tree well in a potted plant indoors, you must artificially create a good light source.
