How to grow a fortune tree in summer

Sunlight

The money tree likes a hot, humid and sunny environment. The indoor temperature in summer is generally below 30℃, so it can be maintained indoors.

How should we place the money tree indoors to make it grow better? When placing the plant, make sure the leaves face the sunny side to avoid the entire plant growing twisted due to the leaves facing the sun. In addition, when caring for it indoors, spray water on the leaves every 3 to 5 days or 2 to 3 days to ensure a certain humidity, which is beneficial to photosynthesis and leaf beauty.

Watering

If there is not enough water, the growth of branches and leaves will stagnate. If there is too much water, the roots will rot and die. Only with the right amount of water can the branches and leaves grow large and full of vitality! Therefore, when watering the money tree, you should adhere to the principle of preferring dryness to wetness. In summer, the indoor temperature and humidity conditions in each household are different. Watering should be determined according to the dryness and wetness of the potting soil.

Fertilization

May to September every year is the growing season of the money tree, which means that this is the time when the indoor money tree has the greatest demand for nutrients throughout the summer. It is very important to apply fertilizer well and apply it correctly. During this period, fertilizer should be mainly decomposed liquid fertilizer or mixed flower fertilizer, about once every 15 to 20 days to promote lush branches and leaves.

Common problems in summer

Yellow and half dead

The money tree placed in the house will turn yellow in the summer. What happened to its promise of making money? It’s okay. This is not a big problem. The main reasons are as follows:

① Excessive watering, root rot

②Pests and diseases, yellow leaves

③ Excessive fertilization, fertilizer damage

When the above situation occurs, there is only one solution. Take out the money tree and deal with the rotten roots if you find them. Soak them in carbendazim and rooting powder, cut off the yellow leaves, and replant them in the flowerpot to see if they can be reborn from the ashes.

How to change the pot

Can I change the pot in summer? This is indeed a problem that many flower lovers are concerned about. Generally speaking, it is not necessary unless the roots rot. Money trees come in different sizes. Generally, the merchant has already prepared the soil for them when you buy them. The soil can last for 1 to 2 years. You can consider changing the soil after a period of care. For money trees in small pots, you can repot them in spring.
