Breeding method:

1. Lighting:

Money trees like bright, indirect light and can be placed indoors in a bright location near a window. Avoid exposure to strong direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

2. Temperature:

Money tree has low temperature requirements, and the suitable growth temperature range is 15-25 degrees Celsius. Avoid exposure to extreme cold or extreme heat.

3. Moisture management:

The money tree likes a moist environment, but it should not be overwatered. Generally speaking, water when the soil surface is slightly dry. Touch the soil surface with your hands and if it feels dry, water it appropriately. Avoid excessive water accumulation, which can lead to root rot.

4. Pot soil selection:

For money trees, you can choose well-drained soil rich in organic matter, or add amendments such as leaf humus to the existing soil.

5. Fertilizer application:

The money tree needs timely fertilization during its growth period. You can choose between liquid or solid fertilizers and follow the instructions for proper fertilization. Generally speaking, fertilizing once every 1-2 months is enough.

Watering recommendations:

1. Frequency and amount of watering:

Generally speaking, every time you water, the water should be allowed to fully sink into the soil to ensure that the roots fully absorb the water. Wait until the soil surface dries slightly before watering again. Watering frequency may vary depending on factors such as season, air temperature, and indoor humidity.

2. Watering method:

Watering can be done using a watering can or direct watering. Before watering, you can move the pot of the money tree back and forth to increase the overall soil moisture.

3. Avoid water accumulation:

After watering, if there is water at the bottom of the pot, the excess water should be poured out in time to prevent water accumulation at the bottom of the pot from affecting the health of the roots.

Finally, due to the fast growth rate of the money tree, generally after two years, the original flower pot cannot meet the growth requirements, and then it is necessary to change the pot and replace the soil. Money tree repotting is mostly done in spring and autumn. If the money tree at home has not been repotted for more than 2 years, you can consider repotting it in spring and autumn. Before repotting the plant, stop watering 2 or 2 days in advance to separate the pot wall from the soil, and then gently tap the pot wall and bottom with your hands to make the plant and soil clumps come out of the pot. Then check and prune old roots, rotten roots, and miscellaneous roots, and replant with culture soil. After planting in the pot, water it thoroughly and put it in a cool and ventilated place for a week, and then maintain it as normal.
In the process of raising money trees, you should usually do a good job in water, fertilizer, lighting, pruning and other aspects of maintenance and management, so that the plants can grow vigorously and be more ornamental.
