We help the toast grow faster and more magnificently. 5 Obligatory recommendations for plant care

A fat woman or a money tree is an unpretentious plant to care for. Therefore, even those who have no experience can grow it. Plant a scion and you will eventually have a whole tree for your family to enjoy.

I have been growing a fat woman for many years, and I want to share my experience and recommendations on how to help the plant grow more luxuriant and faster.

5 tips for caring for a fat woman

The basic rules of care are:

1. Compliance with temperature and humidity in the room

The favorable temperature for the plant is 20-25 C. Please note that in the autumn - winter season, the flower is in a state of dormancy, and an artificial increase in temperature is not required. And too low a temperature is also dangerous for the plant.

There are no special requirements for humidity. I recommend paying attention to hygiene - dust should be regularly removed from the leaves. To do this, wipe them with a soft cloth or sponge.

2. Correct lighting

The birthplace of the fat woman is the southern hemisphere. Therefore, the plant needs an abundance of light and rare watering. Create maximum lighting for the money tree.

The ideal choice would be a place on a windowsill, located on the sunny side. But keep in mind that in the summer heat you need to protect the plant from the scorching sun.

3. Observance of correct watering

For a fat woman, abundant watering is not needed. For watering, use a watering can, adding a small amount of settled water at room temperature to the pot.

Depending on the season, watering frequency is different. So, in the spring and summer, water the plant 2 times a week. But, if you notice the drying out of the soil, then you need to add moisture.

In the autumn - winter period of the year, when the plant is "sleeping", there is no need to disturb it. Fleshy leaves contain enough moisture, which allows the plant to do without watering for a long time.

In winter, you can water the flower once a month. Also note that the plant does not like spraying, just wipe the leaves.

4. Top dressing

Any plants need feeding. For a fat woman, use fertilizers designed for succulents or cacti. In the summer, you need to feed the plant 2 times a month, and in the winter - 1 time.

Dilute fertilizers with water in a 1: 2 ratio. Top dressing is applied after watering.

5. Transplant rules

The planned transplant is carried out in a few years. A transplant may be required if signs of disease appear, with rotting of the root system.

To obtain fast and lush growth, it is necessary to create conditions for the plant close to the "native" and not tolerate unfavorable conditions, such as: too low temperature, direct sunlight, spraying.
