How to cultivate the fortune tree

The money tree , with its lush green leaves and auspicious name, has become a popular choice for home plants. However, it is not easy to grow a money tree well. The following are the methods for growing money trees , I hope they can help your money trees grow healthily.

1. Soil selection

Choose soil with good air permeability and avoid using garden soil to prevent root rot. It is recommended to mix river sand and nutrient soil in a 1:1 ratio, or add fermented pine needle soil to adjust the soil acidity.

2. Lighting management

Except for the need for shade in summer, the money tree should be placed in a place with sufficient light in other seasons. Adequate light helps the leaves grow and make them greener.

3. Watering tips

When watering the money tree, you should follow the principle of "water thoroughly when dry", and avoid frequent watering or excessive dryness. Keep the soil in the pot slightly moist to avoid waterlogging and drying of the roots.

4. Reasonable fertilization

The money tree is mainly used for viewing leaves, so you should choose a fertilizer with high nitrogen content, such as Huaduoduo No. 10. Apply fertilizer 2-3 times a month, following the principle of "thin fertilizer and frequent application" to promote lush branches and leaves.

5. Environmental ventilation

Maintain good ventilation to prevent excessive air humidity from causing leaf rot. If the indoor ventilation is poor, you can add fungicides , such as mancozeb , when watering.

6. Spray regularly

Every half a month to a month, spray the leaves with mancozeb or carbendazim solution to prevent leaf rot.

7. Soil pH

The money tree prefers acidic soil. In northern regions, ferrous sulfate solution can be used every month to adjust the soil pH. This aids in the absorption of iron and prevents new leaves from turning yellow.

As long as all the above maintenance points are followed, the money tree will be able to grow healthily and have green leaves. At the same time, pay attention to the growth of the plant and adjust the maintenance strategy in time to ensure the healthy growth of the money tree.
