How to cultivate the fortune tree? Indoor fortune tree cultivation skills (do these five points)

The leaves of the fortune tree are evergreen, and it is a foliage potted plant that symbolizes good luck and brings wealth, and is deeply loved by people. When we grow fortune trees indoors, we all hope that they can grow "beautiful", so how can we grow indoor fortune trees to make them more prosperous?

Among them, it is necessary to water the money tree regularly so that it has enough water. It is also necessary to provide light and fertilize it once a month, and apply it evenly. Of course, there are more than that. Let's take a look at the 5 key points of raising a money tree.

Pot soil selection

Choose a flower pot with good air permeability and drainage to prevent water accumulation in the flower pot. You can buy nutrient soil from the flower market, or you can use garden soil, peat soil and leaf mold.

If we use garden soil and peat soil , we can add some organic fertilizer to the soil to supplement the nutrients in the soil to meet the growth needs of the money tree.

temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of the fortune tree is between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius . The hot and humid weather in summer is often the most suitable for the growth of the fortune tree.

In the cold winter, we need to take measures to keep it warm, because the money tree will suffer frost damage in an environment below 8 degrees Celsius, causing leaves to fall, and in severe cases the plant will die.

illumination

The fortune tree likes high temperature, humidity and sunlight. Providing it with light will make it grow more vigorously. If there is a lack of light during the maintenance process, the leaves will tend to the light, which will cause the entire branches and leaves of the fortune tree to twist.

But don't expose it to strong sunlight. When the light is too strong, pay attention to "sun protection", that is, put it in the shade , otherwise it will easily get sunburned.

Watering

Watering is an important part of the maintenance process of the fortune tree, and it needs to be watered regularly. Generally, the fortune tree can be watered once every 3-5 days to ensure that there is sufficient water, but no excess water accumulation. When watering, the amount should be controlled well. A slightly wet state is best. Too much water will cause the roots to rot and die , and too little water may stop growing.

Fertilization

The money tree is a fertilizer-loving plant , and it grows very fast, requiring more fertilizer than common green plants.

When caring for the money tree, we can fertilize it once a month during its growth period. The fertilizer elements should be balanced, and phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer should be applied evenly. However, do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise it will grow too long.
