The growth environment and local conditions of the fortune tree

Growth environment and conditions of the fortune tree

The money tree prefers an environment with high temperature, high humidity and plenty of sunshine. The suitable growth temperature is between 20-30 degrees. It has poor cold resistance and seedlings should avoid frost. It likes fertile, loose, breathable and water-retaining acidic sandy loam, and avoids alkaline soil or heavy clay soil. It is more resistant to water and humidity and slightly drought-resistant. It was originally distributed in Brazil and is now planted in South China and Southwest China.

Growth conditions of the fortune tree

The money tree prefers a warm and semi-shady growing environment. It is best to provide a temperature between 20 and 30 degrees, and it will grow more vigorously. It is not cold-resistant, and the minimum temperature in winter must not be lower than 5 degrees, otherwise it is easy to frostbite or even die. It likes a semi-shady environment and cannot be exposed to strong light. It needs shade in summer. During the growing period, you can spray more water to keep it moist and avoid water accumulation.

Growth temperature of fortune tree

The suitable growth temperature for the money tree is between 20-30℃. The high temperature and high humidity environment in summer is its vigorous growth period. Therefore, fertilizer and water management should be strengthened during this stage. The temperature in winter needs to be above 5℃. In a humid environment, the leaves are prone to ulcerated frost spots, which hinders the viewing. Therefore, attention should be paid to the management of winter cold and frost protection.

Growth process of fortune tree

The money tree is generally propagated by sowing, so that the seedlings emerge evenly, the roots are straight and the seedlings are smooth, and it is easy to grow round and cute "radish heads". It is planted in autumn and matures. When the fruit skin is yellow or dry, it can be harvested. It is sown directly in river sand or garden soil at a depth of 2-3 cm. Provide a temperature of 20-30 degrees. It will germinate in 3-5 days and can be transplanted in the field or potted after one month.

Time and method of planting money tree

1. The money tree should be planted in its growing season, which is spring and autumn, between April and June or August and October. This way the growth will be better and the climate is also suitable for growth. If the weather is still very cold or very hot when it is time to plant, timely adjustments will be needed.

2. Compared with sowed seedlings, cutting seedlings have the defects of the head stem not swelling or only slightly swelling and the unsightly seedling stem, so they are rarely used. Cutting propagation in the south is generally carried out from March to October with a higher survival rate. Choose the top of the plant that is strong and free of disease and pests as cuttings, with a length of 10-12 cm. Trim the leaves of the lower part, water after cuttings, and keep the soil moist.
