The method of leaf insertion and propagation of money tree

Money tree is an indoor foliage plant, Buddha flame bud green, boat-shaped, fleshy spike inflorescence is shorter, but also means to attract wealth and treasure, very suitable for family planting. So what is the method of leaf insertion and reproduction of money?

I. Leaf cutting propagation

The tree has a large tuber, which germinates numerous buds and forms groups of small tubers, and its compound leaves have a life span of more than 2-3 years, and are constantly renewed by new leaves. The money tree usually propagates by dividing the small plants with small balls produced on the mother tuber, and the large plant can only produce 2-5 plants a year, with a low reproduction coefficient and a slow speed.

The leaves of money tree are easy to take root when inserted in the substrate and can be used for reproduction. There are 15-25 leaflets on each mature compound leaf, which can greatly increase the reproduction rate if it is used for reproduction. The leaflets of different maturity or double leaves with total petiole or single leaf with total petiole can be cut into clean river sand bed, or they can also be cut directly in peat and other substrates. Leave the leaves flat or standing when cutting, and keep the sand bed moist after cutting. After 50-60 days, the base of petiole or total petiole was enlarged, and then sturdy new roots grew on the side.

Second, the main value

Every even-numbered pinnate compound leaf of the plant is in a strong state at the base of the leaf axis, as if it were an upright Buddha's belly. The middle and upper part of the leaf axis is cylindrical with irregular dark brown markings, just like being covered with camouflage clothes. The oval or oval leaflets on the compound leaves are thick in texture and dark green in color, as if coated with a sparkling glaze in the sun. If several plants are co-planted in a delicate blue-and-white porcelain basin, there will be a kind of vigorous vitality, lush vitality and high ornamental value.

It can absorb poison gas and release oxygen through photosynthesis, bringing fresh air. During the day, it can absorb carbon dioxide from the room and release oxygen, increasing the concentration of negative ions in the indoor air and even absorbing dust that is difficult to absorb by vacuum cleaners. More importantly, it can also absorb formaldehyde, benzene series and other harmful gases, killing bacteria in the air. In this process, it effectively purifies the air and increases the green atmosphere in the space, which makes people relaxed and happy.

The planting value of money tree is relatively high, has a good ornamental value, but also can effectively purify the air, planting is also very simple, suitable for indoor planting.
