That in no case should you do with Tastyanka. Kill the chic plant
The fat woman is a rather popular plant among flower growers. It is chosen not only for its attractive appearance. Indeed, in addition to this, the fat woman promises its owner good luck in material terms. It is not for nothing that the people call the fat woman a money tree.
I have more than one pot with this plant in my house. I have been raising a fat woman for a long time on my windowsills. And I want to share my experience with you.
In principle, a money tree is an unpretentious plant and it is easy to care for it. But nevertheless, some manipulations, which for other plants seem quite harmless, can destroy a fat woman.
To prevent this from happening to your beauty, in no case do what I will tell you about next.
What is dangerous for a fat woman
· Waterlogging of the soil. In no case do not fill the fatty. We love this plant for its attractive fleshy leaves. Moisture accumulates in them. Therefore, even if the plant is not watered for a long time, it will not experience a lack of moisture.
But if the soil is waterlogged, then this will certainly lead to decay of the roots and even the stems. The plant is very afraid of gray rot. And waterlogging can provoke it.
It can also cause leaves to fall off and brown spots on them. Be sure to drain off excess water after watering.
· Too large pot. Of course, this is not so critical for a fat woman. A tree in a large pot will not die. But such a plant will have little beauty.
It will grow unevenly, it will stretch, the shape of the tree will turn out to be incorrect. It is better to pick up a shallow pot during transplantation, but wide.
· Dense and heavy soil and no drainage. Pay attention to the quality of the soil. It should be nutritious and loose. And to neutralize the acidity of the soil, add a little ash and clay to it.
· Large amount of applied fertilizers. The fat woman is one of those plants that suffer from an excess of fertilizer. This is especially true for the winter period. In winter, it is better not to feed the fat woman at all.
· Frequent transplants. When the plant is young, it needs to be replanted once a year. And upon reaching the age of 3 years, it is better not to disturb the plant at all more often than 1 time in 3 years. The fat woman does not tolerate the transplant very well.
· Too shaded place. Lack of light is detrimental to the money tree. It is better to place the fat woman in a bright room so that diffused light falls on it.
