1. Can you survive?

Money tree cuttings can survive. The common method of propagation for this plant is cuttings. Whether it is cuttings of branches or leaves, it has a high survival rate and grows relatively fast, and it can quickly grow into a new pot of plants.

2. Cutting method

1. Cutting time: The time for cuttings of Money Tree is generally chosen during the growing season, that is, spring and autumn. The temperature in these two seasons is very suitable for plant growth, and there is a higher survival rate after cuttings. Due to the high temperature in summer, the bottom of the cuttings is more likely to rot. The winter is quite cold and it is difficult for the cuttings to take root.

2. Cuttings processing: What is actually used for money tree cuttings is not the branches, but its leaf axis, which can be regarded as its stem. You can use a single leaf axis for cuttings, or you can bring two leaves. The advantage of having leaves is that the rooting speed is fast, and the germination rate is extremely high, and the later growth is also better.

If you want to prepare the potting soil yourself, you can mix peat soil, perlite and river sand in a ratio of 3:1:1. The potting soil prepared in this way has better drainage and air permeability, which is very helpful for the development of new roots.

After cutting, spray it thoroughly with water and place it in a cool place with the temperature controlled between 25-27℃. If the climate is dry, spray it 1-2 times a day to keep the soil moist, which is conducive to rooting.
