How to grow a money tree: watering, fertilizing, and lighting all need to be correct

1. Water appropriately

When caring for the money tree, you must be careful when watering it. It should not be too much or too little. Too much water will cause waterlogging in the soil, which can cause root rot. Too little watering will cause water shortage and affect growth. Therefore, it is necessary to control the amount of water and the intervals in between. It is best to water it thoroughly when it is dry.

2. Reduce fertilization

Fertilization is usually not required during maintenance, just apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer when repotting. If you find that the growth rate is slow, you can add a small amount of fertilizer, but be careful that the concentration of the fertilizer must not be too high, otherwise it will easily burn the seedlings and cause a series of growth problems.

3. Suitable lighting

Although it is relatively shade-tolerant, it does not mean that it does not like light. It is best to place it in a place with sufficient light, such as a balcony, where the light and ventilation are better. But be careful to block out strong direct sunlight in the summer, otherwise the leaves will be sunburned and turn yellow.
