The money tree is a common indoor foliage plant that prefers high temperature and high humidity and has poor cold resistance. Therefore, in order to ensure that the money tree can grow healthily in winter, corresponding maintenance and management work must be done. So what are the specific points? Let’s learn more about it below. 1. Temperature control The most suitable temperature for the growth of money tree is 20℃-30℃. The temperature in winter should be controlled above 5℃, otherwise frost damage will easily occur. It is recommended to move the money tree indoors in mid-November to overwinter, and then move it outdoors around the Grain Rain of the following year. 2. Lighting management The money tree likes light, but cannot tolerate direct sunlight. In winter, the light is relatively mild, so it is best placed in a place with good light indoors. In sunny weather, you can move it outdoors to receive 2 hours of sunlight at noon to improve the plant's resistance to cold. 3. Watering tips The money tree's need for water decreases in winter. Therefore, when watering, you should follow the principle of "watering when dry and watering when wet". Generally, water once a month or so, and the potting soil should be slightly moist to avoid too much water remaining in the potting soil. In addition, it is best to use warm water when watering and avoid using cold water to stimulate the plants. 4. Stop fertilizing Winter is the dormant period of the money tree and does not require frequent fertilization. You can apply potassium fertilizer once before winter to induce the money tree to enter a dormant state. Throughout the winter, fertilization is generally not required to avoid stimulating excessive growth of the money tree. 5. Keep warm and ventilated If your room is cold or you are growing your money tree outdoors, consider using a heat shield or heater to protect the plant from the cold. In addition, open windows for ventilation and increase air convection to avoid the breeding of bacteria and the induction of diseases and pests. 6. Pest and disease control Check the plants regularly for disease. Common diseases include leaf spot, etc., which can be controlled by spraying appropriate amounts of carbendazim or thiophanate-methyl. Common insect pests include aphids, red spiders, etc., which can be controlled by spraying soapy water or plant protection agents. At the same time, pay attention to timely pruning of yellow leaves and diseased and weak branches, and increase light transmittance and ventilation to reduce the occurrence of diseases and pests. In general, money trees mostly grow in tropical regions and have relatively poor cold resistance. If you want the money tree to grow healthily in winter and have dark green and shiny leaves, you must provide suitable light and temperature environment, and do a good job of maintenance such as watering, fertilizing, and disease prevention.
