How often should I water my fortune tree?

Generally, the number of times you water the money tree can be controlled to once a week . The watering time should be fixed, once a week or once every ten days. Do not water it every few days .

When the temperature is high in summer, the transpiration of the plant is relatively large, so you can increase the frequency of watering the money tree appropriately. When the temperature is low in winter, the money tree grows relatively slowly, so you can reduce the frequency and amount of watering appropriately.

The correct way to water the fortune tree

1. Choose water quality

Try not to use tap water at home for watering. You can choose some acidic water. If it is hard to find, tap water can also be used. But remember to add two drops of vinegar to the water when watering, because vinegar is acidic and can adjust the water quality and make the water acidic. If you water the money tree with such water, the leaves of the money tree will not turn yellow and the roots will grow well.

2. Watering time

If the indoor temperature is below 15 degrees, we must ensure that the soil in the pot is moist. We must water the plants, but we cannot water them too much. Generally, in winter, when there is sufficient sunlight, when the soil in the pot is completely dry and the leaves are wilting, you can water it at noon when the sunlight is good. After watering, expose it to more sunlight to allow the water in the soil to evaporate quickly, so that it can replenish water.

Overwatering of the fortune tree

1. Observe the roots

The most obvious symptom of overwatering the money tree is root rot. The whole plant will become sick and lose its vitality. At this time, you need to uproot the money tree and observe its roots. If it is green, it can still be saved. If it oozes yellow juice or becomes soft, it is basically hopeless.

2. Treatment method

The first thing to do is to stop watering and move it to a shaded place for maintenance. Do not expose it to the sun within three days to avoid evaporation of water and severe dehydration to death. We can also use a small iron rod or other soil loosening tool to gently stir the pot soil to make the soil slightly cracked, which will help the air circulation of the roots and alleviate the root rot.
