Is the money tree growing slowly? Learning to stimulate the plant correctly and enjoy the Gorgeous bloom
The fat woman is my favorite on the windowsill. And although they say that it is very difficult to achieve annual flowering of the money tree, I realized from my own experience that this is not so!
Only an absolutely healthy plant is capable of forming buds and opening them, and for a money tree its first indicator is growth.
If you slow down, you urgently need to save! The caring program depends on the source of the problem.
The botanical origin of the fat woman makes it demanding on the length of daylight hours - at least 10-12 hours. The rays of the sun should be scattered, from straight lines - you need to shade so that burns do not happen. Therefore, you should keep the pot on the southern windowsill, and if it is winter outside, turn on the supplementary lighting from the lamp.
The money tree stops developing if it is watered too much or too little. The best option is to moisten the soil as it dries with warm water.
But if you want to achieve flowering, you need to forget about spraying, because the high humidity of the air prevents the formation of buds.
A good air temperature for this plant is +16... + 22 ° С, but for the formation of buds, it should be ensured at night to decrease to + 10 ° С.
And the fat woman, despite the fact that she reacts positively to the coolness, absolutely cannot stand drafts.
For the flowering of a money tree, it should receive a little fertilizer with phosphorus and potassium every 4-6 weeks, but nitrogen is contraindicated. It is recommended to apply this mineral for all indoor plants only in spring, within 2-4 months, because it actively promotes the growth of deciduous mass.
The root system of the money tree is shallow, so the pot should be wide, but low. If you transplant a fat woman into a deep container, then until it braids with roots in an earthen ball, you can not even dream of flowering.
Also, insects can greatly damage the health of the plant, in particular - spider mites. Therefore, it is important to periodically inspect the money tree and, at the first sign of a pest, to destroy it.
From personal experience, I can say that all kinds of folk remedies will not make the money tree bloom quickly - it is the right care that can help you enjoy its beauty. It is also important to note that adult fat women who have reached 8-10 years old are capable of flowering.
