1. What kind of tree is it?

The money tree is a small tree of the Bombacaceae family, also known as the fortune tree. It can grow up to about 4-5 meters in a natural environment, but if it is grown in a potted plant at home, it will grow smaller. The origin of this plant is from Mexico to Costa Rica in Central America. It is better cultivated in Xishuangbanna in Yunnan, my country. It is widely distributed and is planted in many regions of my country.

2. Is it evergreen?

The money tree is evergreen all year round and its shape is also very distinctive, so it is a very popular green plant. However, if it is not managed properly during cultivation, its leaves will turn yellow and dry up.

3. Maintenance methods of evergreen

1. Light: It is a medium-day plant. Before the plant sprouts, it needs more sunlight. No shade is needed in spring and winter, but a little shade is needed in summer and autumn. After buds appear, 75% shade is usually required in the summer, and in spring and autumn, as long as the sunlight is not strong, it will be fine.

2. Water: When watering this plant, usually do not water it until the soil is dry. It does not like to grow in an environment with stagnant water, and its roots are very easy to rot, so just spray it with a little more water at ordinary times, and water it again when the soil is dry.

3. Repotting: If you want it to grow better, you need to give it enough space to grow. Therefore, you need to repot it every 1-2 years, otherwise the root growth will be restricted, resulting in yellow leaves.
