Breeding methods and precautions of money string

Farming methods

Pot soil requirements

Money tree grows in relatively arid areas and has a strong drought resistance, so when choosing soil, you should choose soil with good air permeability. Try to choose loose materials, such as coarse sand, peat, etc., and the soil should be acidic. The roots of the money tree are tuberous, so the soil should be changed regularly to prevent root rot.

When choosing a flower pot, it is recommended to use a deeper blue and white porcelain pot or a purple clay pot, and put an extra layer of sand at the bottom of the flower pot to facilitate air permeability and water filtration. In rainy areas, the plants should be checked regularly to avoid water accumulation in the pots.

Water requirements

For home maintenance, if the plant is on the 3rd floor or above, you can place the plant on a wet sand tray, increase the air humidity appropriately, spray water on the leaves frequently, remove dust and provide shade.

For indoor maintenance, when the temperature exceeds 33℃, spray water every day to keep the soil moist.

In autumn, watering should be reduced appropriately. Or you can spray water instead of watering to promote the sprouting of new leaves and ensure safe wintering. In winter, pay attention to watering the leaves and surrounding plants to ensure that the relative air humidity in the room is above 50%. In short, no matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, be careful to keep the soil in the pot not too moist, it is better to keep it on the dry side.

Lighting requirements

Money tree likes light, but it can also tolerate shade. Therefore, money tree is suitable for growing in an environment with sufficient sunlight and a certain degree of shade. Money tree should not be exposed to strong light, otherwise the new branches and buds will be easily burned. But don't provide excessive shade, otherwise the young leaves will elongate, the distance between the leaflets will become sparse, and the beauty of the plant will be affected.

In winter, the money plant kept indoors needs proper lighting and should not be placed in a too dark corner, otherwise the leaves will become dark yellow and dull. In summer, the plants can be moved indoors 1 to 2 hours around noon.

Fertilization method

Money tree is a plant that likes fertilizer. Appropriate fertilization is beneficial to its growth. An occasional application of concentrated fertilizer will not have much impact on its growth. Basically, it is enough to fertilize once every two months.

Precautions

Avoid over-pruning

Money tree needs to be pruned regularly, and the messy and crooked branches should be cut off, thrown away, or re-grafted. For old plants that have grown for many years, the leaves will shrink and degenerate, causing the lower part of the plant to become bare, which is very unsightly. The plants can be renewed when the temperature is suitable.

The flower pot should not be too large

This is a problem that many flower lovers have. The inappropriate size of the flowerpot not only affects the appearance, but also hinders the growth of the plant. If the flowerpot is too big, the root system of the plant will be unstable and the plant will look loose. If the flowerpot is too small, the root system of the plant will not be able to stretch out and will grow slowly.
