Maintenance methods and techniques of fortune tree

Many people like to place some indoor plants with auspicious meanings and pleasant names in their homes, such as the lucky tree, fortune bamboo and money tree , especially the money tree, which can add a beautiful and auspicious atmosphere whether placed in the living room or shop. There are large money trees, which are as tall as a person, and small ones, which are only more than 20 centimeters long and are suitable for placing on desks. Below is a brief introduction to the maintenance methods and techniques of the money tree.

1. The money tree is not cold-resistant, so you should avoid placing it outdoors in winter. Make sure it is in a warm indoor environment, maintaining a temperature of at least 7 degrees, and avoid cold winds, especially small money trees that need to be kept warm.

2. Although the money tree does not like strong direct sunlight, it also needs an appropriate amount of scattered light to maintain growth. The money tree should be placed in a place with scattered light and avoid being exposed to the scorching sun in summer to keep the leaves bright green.

3. Do not water too much to avoid root rot or leaf shedding. The soil in the pot of indoor money trees should be kept slightly dry, following the principle of "better dry than wet" to avoid water accumulation in the pot soil for a long time.

4. Avoid using porcelain pots to plant money trees, because porcelain pots have poor air permeability and drainage, which is not conducive to root development. Plastic basins are a better choice because of their better air permeability and drainage.

5. The money tree does not require frequent fertilization, but proper fertilization during the spring and autumn growing seasons can provide the necessary nutrients, promote the growth of new leaves and branches, and make the plant more lush.

6. For money trees that grow too fast, you can prune them appropriately to maintain the beauty of the plant. In winter, the light should be increased, while in summer, it should be avoided from direct sunlight and placed in a cool place.

The above are some simple maintenance and management steps for the money tree. Whether it is a large or small money tree, with proper daily management, it can remain vibrant all year round.
