You should never do anything with the Money Tree. You can easily destroy a chic plant

A home talisman for wealth, cleansing the energy in the house and good for health - this is an incomplete list of the advantages of the money tree, for which it is so loved.

This plant is considered extremely unpretentious, therefore, they rarely take care of its health. But you can destroy a gorgeous plant if you make gross mistakes in caring for it. I am telling you about them so that you do not accidentally allow them.

Plant in the wrong soil

Did you know that the money tree is a succulent? Yes, it really is a "relative" of cacti, although not very similar to it in appearance. That is why the most common flower soil is not suitable for him. It is best to purchase a special one for cacti and other succulents.

Too much "warm" the plant

For some reason, many flower growers believe that their main task in winter is to create the warmest possible home microclimate for plants. Yes, heat-loving flowers can freeze and die from this.

But this does not apply at all to the money tree: on the contrary, excessive overheating can easily destroy it.

If the temperature is above +20 degrees, the leaves of the plant will become lethargic and begin to fall off. Not the best prospect, agree? The fat woman quietly exists at a temperature of + 15... + 18 degrees in winter.

An important point - do not place a pot with this plant next to heating appliances. A sill above the battery is not a good idea.

Over-watering

The knowledge that the money tree is a succulent is useful not only for the correct choice of soil. This affects his attitude towards over-watering. "Filling" the plant, watering it too often and / or too abundantly is a sure way to its death.

The root system will start to rot, and in this case it will be extremely difficult to prevent the death of the money tree.

In the summer, we water the bastard no more than once or twice a week. From mid-autumn to mid-spring - about once every two weeks.

We check the degree of soil moisture using a thin wooden stick - just immerse it in the soil, then take it out, and if it is completely dry, it's time to water the plant a little. It is also important to take care of a good drainage system.

Knowing these popular and dangerous mistakes, you will not allow them and your money tree will delight you with its healthy appearance.
