What to do if the fortune tree grows too tall

The reason why the fortune tree grows too long

The excessive growth of the money tree is usually caused by improper care during cultivation.

The cause of the money tree's leggy growth may be insufficient light during cultivation. If there is insufficient light, the growth of the money tree will be affected, and the plant will grow poorly and become leggy. The second is over-watering. If you water too much, the money tree will grow vigorously, or even grow wildly, which means it will grow too tall. Of course, it is also possible that the plant has grown for a long time and may become too tall.

Another problem is that pruning is not timely. The money tree is a plant with obvious apical dominance. If it is not pruned in time, the branches of the plant will be reduced and it will continue to grow upward, which will cause it to grow too tall.

What to do if the fortune tree grows too tall

If the money tree starts to grow too tall, pruning is usually the way to improve it. When pruning, you can prune the overgrown branches of the money tree. Generally, you need to cut off most of them, leaving only a few buds at the base. Basically, the length should be kept at about 10 cm. It is best to cut off all the branches on the upper part. When pruning, pay attention to pruning all the branches on the entire plant. It is best to prune all the weaker branches to reduce nutrient consumption.

After pruning the money tree, be careful not to water it first to prevent it from rotting, and then place the money tree in a semi-shaded place for maintenance. You can use compound fertilizer before it germinates, and it is best to spray some fungicide.
