And, as it is believed it is able to attract wealth into the house, improve well-being.

The necessary elements for the money tree

Particularly important elements for the growth and development Jade are potassium and phosphorus.

1. Potassium. Responsible for the overall krasully growth and for the formation of a thick skin. If the flower lacks potassium, the leaves become pale, sometimes become bronze color.

2. Phosphorus. It ensures the development of the root system. If a money tree in insufficient quantities received phosphorus, it rarely blooms or no buds are formed.

Meal - bone and fish

In a lot of potassium, phosphorus containing bone and fish meal. Bone meal is obtained in the processing of bones of animals (livestock) and fish - fish bones, shells of crabs.

In this flour also contains nitrogen, calcium, lysine, methionine, cystine, proteins, fats.

Bone meal may contain a different percentage of phosphorus: normal (15%), steamed (25%), low fat (35%).
