Hydroponic method of fortune tree

Steps to grow a fortune tree in water

Pay attention to trimming the roots when first planting

In fact, it is not difficult to grow a money tree hydroponically. Just prepare the tools (special tools for hydroponics). Then you need to prune the money tree.

Take the money tree out of the soil and remove the leaves at the base to avoid affecting the growth of the plant. When pruning, please decide based on the size of your flower pot and remove all the leaves below the mouth of the pot.

In addition, use a knife to cut off part of the root. This will allow the root to absorb better and keep the cut smooth. Place the plant in a cool place to dry, and then insert it into a hydroponic container after the cut is dry.

Water volume control and water selection

The water should reach one-third of the vase, no more than two-thirds.

Before rooting, change the water every 3 days. After rooting, there is no need to change the water, just add water to the vase. When the weather is dry and hot, you need to spray water on the leaves. You can choose rainwater, well water, or purified water. If it is tap water, it should be left for 1 day before use.

Maintain room temperature

The suitable growth temperature is between 16 and 26 degrees Celsius, and hydroponics is no exception. In winter, do not place the plants in cold places such as balconies or windowsills. Always observe the growth of the plants and do not let the water freeze. When it is too cold, take necessary warming measures.

Ensure adequate lighting

Hydroponic money trees are usually kept indoors and do not require much sunlight, but they need to receive 2 to 3 hours of light every day. If the plant lacks light, the leaves will turn yellow and grow poorly. Therefore, try to place the plant in a bright and ventilated environment and allow it to receive sufficient light during the period.

Fertilize once a month

For hydroponic plants, fertilization is often overlooked, but proper fertilization can make the plants grow better. The hydroponic money tree only needs to be fertilized once a month. You can buy professional fertilizers at the flower market, or add a few drops of dissolved vitamin C1 when adding water.

Water culture precautions

Place it where electric fans and air conditioners cannot reach it.

Check the growth of the plant frequently. If there is root rot, remove it in time. If the water has an odor, you should replace the water in time and check for root rot.

When the leaves turn yellow, you should check whether you have applied too much fertilizer or lack of light.

This is all about the hydroponic method and precautions of the money tree. It is actually not difficult. I hope that flower lovers will gain something after reading this. It will be one more cultivation method and one more choice.
