1. Pot soil selection

The potting soil should be loose and fertile, with good drainage and air permeability, and the pH should be slightly acidic. Nutrient soil can be prepared by mixing garden soil, peat soil and coarse sand, with the ratio of the three being 4:3:3.

2. Temperature and light

Money tree likes light, so creating an environment with plenty of sunlight is beneficial to its growth. However, money tree cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. Except for appropriate shade in the summer, it can accept full-day sunlight in other seasons. Similarly, money tree also likes warmth, and the best growth temperature is 20-32℃.

The operation is very simple, it is nothing more than pruning the branches, drying them, inserting them into moist soil, and placing them in diffused light. It is best to choose a medium with good air permeability, and then water it thoroughly in advance. When the soil is moist but not wet, you can carry out cuttings.
