The growth habits of money-absorbing trees

The money-sucking tree is a horticultural variety originally from South Africa and can be cultivated in many places in the world. The plant is multi-branched shrub-like, with obvious, round stem, yellowish-brown or grayish brown epidermis, and red at the edge of its cross section in winter. Like warm, dry and sunny environment, resistant to drought and semi-shade, not cold, in addition to high temperatures in summer to avoid hot sun exposure in other seasons should be given adequate light.

The Propagation method of money-absorbing Tree

1. Leaf insertion: the mature and healthy tube leaves in the middle and lower part of the plant are broken, the base is slightly oblique and inserted into the matrix, most of them are exposed outside, and the matrix can choose coarse sand after boiling water disinfection. Can be inserted in the edge of the flowerpot, make full use of the leaves of other flowers to shade the original tube leaves, the use of "flowers with light" to create a natural scattered light environment to reduce the loss of water in the leaves. At the same time, be sure to keep the liquid level higher than the surface of the basin soil, drying can not induce the root.

2. Branch cutting: cut healthy and sturdy branches as cuttings, and remove the lower leaves before cutting. After pruning, wait for the wound to shrink before cutting, which can effectively prevent the stem from rotting when cutting. If there is rot at the base, the rotten part can be cut off and dried before cutting. The best time for cutting is in spring and autumn to avoid humid and muggy summer days and cold and cold winters.

3. High pressure: soak the seedling block in water, then cut it but not completely cut it, and wrap it in the place where there is aerial root. Wrap it securely in dark or black plastic bags to help keep heat and prevent the sun from burning the roots and replenish water with syringes. In order to prevent top-heavy, bracket protection can be set up, and a small amount of diluted liquid fertilizer can be added to replenish water in the later stage. In general, the mother plant can be cut off in 2-3 months. When root exposure is observed, the incision should be smeared with sulfuric acid powder, plant ash or tobacco ash.

How to cultivate money-sucking trees?

1. Soil: money-absorbing trees like loose and breathable light acid soil, such as rotten leaf soil and peat soil, and can also prepare their own slightly acidic culture soil, which should not be cultivated directly with heavy soil.

2. Watering: the water of the suction tree must be weakly acidic at ordinary times, less or no watering during the summer dormancy period, and spray water to the leaves during the growing period to increase the wettability. Be careful not to water too much.

3. Fertilization: the requirement for fertilizer amount of income-absorbing trees is not high, so you can apply all-element organic fertilizer once a month.

4. Lighting: the tree needs to receive enough sunshine before the leaf color will be gorgeous, and the plant type will be more compact and beautiful. If there is too little sunshine, the leaves turn light and green, the leaves are loosely arranged and elongated, and the branches are very tender.

5. Change the basin: the suction tree is a medium and large plant, and the pot can be changed once a few years with the growth state, and the pot diameter can be 2-3 inches larger than the plant diameter, which can promote plant growth. The medium must be dry before watering, and slow-acting fertilizer can be applied.
