Cultivation methods and precautions of money tree succulent

It is difficult to care for the Money Tree and it has high requirements for the growing environment. It is a succulent variety that is afraid of both cold and heat. Generally, it is fine in spring and autumn. Place it in an environment with sufficient light. After the soil in the pot is completely dry, water it thoroughly. In this way, the Money Tree can grow well, but you must be extra careful when caring for it in summer and winter.

How to grow money tree succulent

The watering of the Money Tree succulent should be properly controlled. Just water it with a small amount of water along the edge of the pot once every ten days or half a month. It is not very cold-resistant. If the temperature is below 5℃ in winter, it is recommended to bring it indoors or move it to other non-open-air environments for maintenance. Otherwise, it is particularly prone to frostbite. If it encounters frosty weather, it will be frozen to death.

1. Moisture

Money tree is relatively drought-resistant and prefers a moist but slightly dry environment. Therefore, you can water it more in the summer. In the winter, when the weather is drier, you need to spray water regularly to keep the air humidity above 50%, but not too humid, otherwise the roots of the money tree will rot.

2. Lighting

The money tree is shade-tolerant, but it likes the sun. If there is insufficient light, its leaves will turn yellow. Therefore, the money tree is suitable for growing in an environment with a certain amount of shade but sufficient light. It cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise the newly grown tender leaves of the money tree will be burned, and eventually turn yellow and fall off.

3. Temperature

The suitable temperature for the money tree is between 20 degrees and 32 degrees. When it is hot in summer, you should add a black shading net and spray water around the money tree to achieve a cooling effect. When it is cold in winter, you should move the money tree to a warm shed in time; the temperature must be maintained between 8 degrees and 10 degrees to ensure that the money tree can safely overwinter. If the temperature is below 5 degrees, it will suffer serious cold damage.

4. Fertilization

Money tree is a fertilizer-loving plant. During the cultivation period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and urea can be applied twice a month. Some ferrous sulfate can be added to the fertilizer to prevent the leaves from turning yellow. In late September, the amount of fertilizer should be reduced and only phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied. This will help the plant survive the winter. After entering winter, stop fertilizing. Low temperatures slow the growth of plants, and fertilizing at this time is likely to cause fertilizer damage.

Money tree succulent care precautions

When caring for the Money Tree succulent, you should pay attention to the high temperature in summer. You must ventilate the plant in time and sprinkle water to cool it down when necessary to avoid the occurrence of damp heat, which will affect the normal growth of the plant. If you find that the pot is too humid or even water is not flowing smoothly, it is best to change the pot to avoid the plant from withering or even necrosis.
