Like warm, dry and sunny environment, drought and semi-shade, not cold, in addition to high temperature in summer to avoid the sun exposure to other seasons should be given sufficient light.

Breeding method of money sucking tree

1. Leaf insertion: break off the mature and healthy tube leaves in the middle and lower parts of the plant, insert the base slightly obliquely into the substrate, most of which are exposed outside. The substrate can be coarse sand sterilized by boiling water. It can be inserted into the edge of the pot of the flower pot, making full use of the leaves of other flowers to shade the initial tube leaves, creating a natural scattering light environment by using "flower light" to reduce the water loss of the inserted leaves. At the same time, be sure to keep the liquid level above the surface of the basin soil, dry induction does not come out of the roots.

2. Branch cutting: Cut healthy and strong branches to make cuttings, and remove the lower leaves first before cutting. After pruning, wait for the wound to shrink and then cuttage, which can effectively prevent rotten stems from cuttage. If rot occurs at the base, cut off the rotten parts and dry them before cutting. Cuttage timing is best selected in spring and autumn, avoiding humid and sultry days and cold and low temperature winter.

3. High pressure: Soak the seedling block in water, then cut it open and not completely cut it open, and wrap it in the part where there are aerial roots. Wrap tightly in a dark or black plastic bag to help keep warm and absorb heat and prevent sunburn roots. Use a syringe to replenish water. In order to prevent top-heavy, can be set up support protection, late replenishment when a small amount of diluted liquid fertilizer can be added. Generally 2~3 months can be cut off the mother plant, when observed to have exposed roots and then cut off, cut with sulfuric acid powder, plant ash or soot smear it.

5, change pot: suction tree is a medium-sized plant, with the growth of the state can be changed once a few years, pot diameter can be 2~3 inches larger than the plant diameter, so as to promote plant growth. The medium must be dried before watering. Slow release fertilizer can be applied.
