How to cultivate the fortune tree

1. Sunlight

The money tree grows best in a warm environment. If there is insufficient light, its branches and leaves will become deformed and twisted, and yellow leaves will appear. Also, avoid direct sunlight, as strong light may cause sunburn on the leaves.

2. Soil

The money tree has relatively high requirements for soil and prefers acidic soil, preferably well-drained, fertile and loose soil.

3. Temperature

The money tree likes a hot and humid environment. The temperature is high in summer, so it is best to provide 50% shade to prevent the scorching sun from burning the tips of its leaves.

4. Watering

The money tree only needs to be watered once every two weeks. Too little watering will cause the leaves to stop growing; too much watering will cause the roots to rot and die.

5. Fertilization

Apply thin fertilizer to the money tree from May to September, about once every 15 days.
