Can the branches of the fortune tree survive by being planted? Can it survive by being placed in water?

1. Can it be inserted alive?

The branches of the money tree can be used for grafting, and cutting is also a very common method of propagation with a very high survival rate. You can choose to use branches between May and June, and avoid using them when it is too cold or too hot, as this is not conducive to the germination of new roots. If you want the branches to survive faster after cuttings, you need to pay attention to the following aspects.

1. Branches: Try to choose healthy and disease-free branches. If weak branches or branches with diseases and insect pests are used, not only will the rooting be slow after cuttings, but they may also be attacked by diseases and insects and die, which will directly affect the survival rate.

2. Treatment: The lower end of the branch should be cut into a horseshoe shape, and the cut should be smooth without damaging the leaves. Before cutting, apply an appropriate amount of rooting powder, and do not damage the branches when inserting them into the substrate.

2. Can it survive in water?

The branches of the fortune tree can also survive if they are placed in water. However, it should be noted that the cut of the branch should be smooth and complete, and it should be soaked in rooting water before water insertion, which will increase the survival rate of the insertion. Try to choose a transparent container for water cultivation so that you can observe its rooting conditions, and don't use too much water. Before it takes root, you need to change the water every 3 days or so and place it in a ventilated place with bright light. New roots will grow after a period of time.
