How to thicken the trunk of the tree of money

The thickness of the money tree trunk (another name - Crassula) depends not only beauty, but also how firmly hold its tree crown.

Until you gain experience in the care of these potted flower, I had a couple of times in the same time re-Smakova planted since the severity of Crohn broke or fell on the trunk side, with the breaking of the leaves and even plump branches.

I tried to fix a variety of wooden chopsticks, but still end up having to put the pot close to the glass, so that it leaned against and thus kept.

Crohn's money tree, if it is to grow rests firmly on the thick trunk (thickness of 2-3 cm on average) and in the right pot, growing well and can look luxurious. To be able to enjoy, not to be afraid, that again will break and fall, you should be able to take care of Jade.

I'll tell you what measures will help to make the trunk Jade thick and strong, and a beautiful crown.

The first thing to know is that what is needed for pot money tree. Width must be greater than the height of the pot. Pot for this plant, it is desirable to choose a clay as the plastic is too light. When the jade tree grows and produces gorgeous dense crown, the crown can be a heavy pot with soil and roots. That is why it is necessary to choose a heavy foundation, otherwise our tree will fall.

The more you want to build a crown, the larger and heavier the pot should be chosen for planting. Crohn pot and the width should be identical.

At the bottom of the pot, especially if it is deep, it is necessary to fill any drainage layer of pebbles or can even be from cleft bricks. Larger stones with the growth of the plants can be placed on top of the soil.

Jade can be transplanted for the first time no earlier than 2 years. This is when you first put in a small pot, and the crown grows. But I still advise in the beginning to land in the wide. I, for example, do not transplant a money tree, my 4 years. I simply fertilize correctly and on time without replacing the soil, that is enough.

Crassula be watered by this schedule: in the first week - 2 times in the second week - 1 times. And so you need to alternate. In the first week the plant is fed, in the second week to spend more effort to strengthen the trunk and thickening of the cortex.

Young flower growth after reaching 10-15 cm in height starting pinch off, ie. E. cut. At the young as it is necessary to pinch off a fingernail, and a year or two you can cut shears, minimizing injury to the plant.

Regularly I turn the tree so that the light does not fall on one side only. For the prosperity of light, too, must be observed. The first branch is always necessary to pinch off to delay growth. Then the force be spent on strengthening the trunk.

How to care for mature trees and well fed and cut already a mature plant will cover in the next article.
