Cultivation methods and precautions of money tree

1. Soil

As for the soil, the money tree needs sparse, breathable, high-humus, neutral and slightly acidic soil. When caring for it, you can mix it with some peat and adjust the pH value to slightly acidic. Generally speaking, the money tree needs to be repotted after three or four years of cultivation. The frequency of repotting is determined by its growth conditions. When the plant fills the pot and becomes relatively compact, it can be repotted.

2. Moisture

Money tree is relatively drought-resistant. Keep the soil in the pot slightly moist and dry. Do not water it too frequently. In particular, be careful not to let water accumulate in the pot, otherwise the roots will rot. The amount of water should also be adjusted according to the season. Generally speaking, watering is more frequent during the growing season, and the temperature is lower in winter, so reduce the amount of water.

3. Temperature

The money tree is a tropical plant, so it prefers a relatively high temperature environment. It can grow normally if the temperature is above ten degrees, but it will not grow well if it is too high. Temperatures above 35 degrees will also cause poor growth. 25 to 30 degrees is the fastest growing time.

4. Light

The money tree is a relatively shade-tolerant plant and can also adapt to brighter light. When growing it indoors, just avoid direct sunlight and overly dark locations indoors.

5. Fertilization

During the growing period of the money tree, you can add a thin layer of fertilizer once a month. It is recommended not to fertilize when the temperature is low in winter.
