How often should I water the fortune tree?

First, let us understand the basic situation of the money tree: the money tree is suitable for an environment with high temperature and high humidity. But its ability to resist cold is very poor. Even for the long-lived money tree, the minimum temperature cannot be lower than 6 degrees. In northern regions, when the temperature drops below 6 degrees, it should be moved indoors for cultivation. The money tree likes loose, fertile, water-retaining and breathable sandy soil.

The money tree does not require much water. Not watering it for a week will not cause the leaves of the money tree to turn yellow or wither. However, you should spray water on the leaves of the money tree frequently and clean the dust on the surface of the leaves.

The roots of the money tree are prone to rot, which is why friends think it is not easy to water it. Even slight accumulation of water can cause the roots of the money tree to rot. The key is that root rot is not noticeable in the early stages, and by the time it becomes apparent, it is already too late to save it. Can only be removed.

Therefore, when watering the money tree, friends must observe the condition of the soil. At the same time, different watering methods should be used according to the different potting soil environments. If in a humid and poorly ventilated environment, reduce the amount of watering appropriately. Friends who have raised money trees at home know that money trees have almost no roots. Therefore, its water absorption is very poor. Coupled with a humid and poorly ventilated environment, water can only accumulate in the soil, which will cause root rot. When watering, touch the soil to allow it to be neither too dry nor too wet. In a humid environment, the plant will not die of drought even if it is not watered for 1-2 months. But if there is accumulation of problems, the roots will definitely rot.
