raise money tree , 3 aspects are not done well, the plant is not prosperous, it is not easy to sprout new buds Effect. Money tree, also known as citronella , is a perennial herb that likes to grow in a warm and humid environment. When growing potted plants at home, as long as loose and fertile culture soil is used, and sufficient water and fertilizer are maintained during the growth period, the plants can grow vigorously and continue to emerge more new shoots.
Many flower lovers think that the money tree is a foliage plant, so they ignore the maintenance of water and fertilizer, resulting in poor plant growth, and it is not easy to grow new branches and leaves. Therefore, many people hope that it will grow more new branches as soon as possible, so that the branches and leaves of the plant will be more lush and the overall ornamental will be stronger.
There are three reasons why the money tree does not grow new shoots.
⒈The soil compaction lacks nutrients.
The money tree likes loose and fertile acidic soil very much. Many florists think that they do not need it to bloom, so they just take some roadside garden soil and plant them. Due to the high viscosity and poor permeability, the basin soil will be compacted in a short time.
When there is a lack of nutrients in the potting soil and compaction occurs, the roots and stems of the plant cannot normally absorb the nutrients , while the new shoots germinate from the stems, and the nutrients are insufficient, the potting soil is hard, and the permeability is poor, yes It is not easy to grow new shoots.
⒉ The root system is overgrown with flower pots
There are also money tree potted plants. The first two years are particularly vigorous, and then they grow thinner and thinner. I usually don’t go to to fertilize , but the growth is not prosperous, and the growth period is also seen. It sprouts out.
Most of this is because the root system in the flowerpot is already full of the flowerpot. The root system of the money tree grows very fast. It is best to change the potting soil every year. By the way, prune the old and weak root system. If you do not go to to change pots and for a long time to prune the old and weak root systems, the whole flowerpot will be covered with messy root disks, intertwined with each other, and fertilizing it will not be well absorbed and utilized, and nutrients will not be replenished. It is also difficult to grow new shoots.
⒊Don’t fertilize for a long time
Although the money tree is not mainly for viewing flowers, but if you want the plant to grow vigorously, you should also and fertilize it regularly. If you only water it for a long time without fertilizing, the plant will not get nutrients How can it be able to grow more new branches and leaves.
If you don't fertilize, you must at least ensure that there are sufficient nutrients in the soil. If you put it in a pot, apply some decomposed organic fertilizer to the bottom of the pot, which can also promote the rapid growth of new branches and leaves.
How to make the money tree sprout more
⒈Change the pot every 1-2 years earth. For dense and vigorous plants, it is necessary to change pots and ramets frequently, and trim off some old and weak root systems. For those with rotten roots, remove the rotten spots, and then apply potassium permanganate or carbendazim To carry out sterilization and disinfection treatment, and then replace the loose and fertile culture soil for cultivation.
⒉ Regularly fertilize
Any plant and flower should be fertilized regularly to supplement nutrients during the growth period. In order to increase the fertility of the potting soil, a small amount of organic fertilizer can be added to the culture soil. If the potting soil has few nutrients and the soil is hard, Some microbial fertilizer can be applied appropriately to improve and regulate the soil and provide nutrients for the plants.
During the growth period of the money tree, you can apply the quick-acting compound fertilizer every two weeks or so. The amount of fertilizer applied each time should not be too large, because the fertilizer is too thick, and it is easy to burn the root system of the plant, causing rotten roots and yellow leaves.
⒊Pruning old branches and leaves
Many florist money trees never prune, and they don’t know how to prune them. This will cause some old branches and leaves on the outer layer to occupy a lot of nutrients for a long time. When the nutrients are not sufficient, the plants cannot be pruned. To grow new shoots to renew branches and leaves.
If some of the outer branches and leaves have aged or even yellow leaves, you can directly prune these old, weak and thin yellow branches in the outer layer, which can increase the permeability of the plant and save nutrients and promote the germination of the plant. New shoots grow new leaves.
