The money tree originated in eastern Africa, the climate is dry and hot, which also leads to the characteristics of drought tolerance but extreme fear of cold. So how to maintain the money tree in winter when planting it in China? Let's take a look at the breeding methods of money trees in winter.

1. Growth Habits of Money Tree

Before understanding the maintenance methods of money trees in winter, we should first understand the growth habits of money trees. Money trees like warm, dry living environment, due to the location in eastern Africa, the temperature difference throughout the year is small, so money trees are also suitable for growing in an environment with small temperature changes. Suitable for growth temperature between 20℃~32℃, drought resistance is not cold, avoid strong light exposure.

Second, the cultivation method of money tree in winter

1. temperature

In winter, it is best to maintain the greenhouse temperature above 10℃. If the room temperature is lower than 5℃, it is easy to cause cold damage to plants and seriously endanger their survival. In late autumn and early winter, when the temperature drops below 8 ° C, it should be moved to a room with sufficient light in time, and the temperature should be kept between 8 ° C and 10 ° C throughout the winter period.

2. illumination

For potted plants moved to the shed in winter, supplementary light should be given. The water content of the basin soil is kept dry, and the plants can be kept disease-free for many years. The pinnately compound leaves of the new flower did not show obvious phototaxis, and the plant type was good.

3. moisture

In winter, special attention should be paid to the pot soil not to be too wet, and it is better to be dry, otherwise under low temperature conditions, the pot soil is too wet, which is more likely to cause the root system of the plant to rot, or even the whole plant to die.

4. fertilizer

When the temperature drops below 15℃, all forms of topdressing should be stopped to avoid causing fertilizer damage under low temperature conditions.

5. cold insulation

When the temperature drops below 5℃ in winter and the pot soil is wet, it is easy to cause the feathery tender leaves of the plant to lodge due to cold damage, and it will cause the tuber to rot seriously, and it is difficult to recover its vitality.

Control methods: Whether it is productive cultivation, planning or family cultivation, the temperature of the shed during winter should be maintained at not less than 10℃, and the pot soil should be kept slightly dry. A small number of potted plants, in a particularly cold day, can be covered with double plastic bags at night, the next day after the temperature rises to bag.

The above is the pro-agricultural network for everyone to introduce the maintenance of the money tree, money tree placed at home in addition to ornamental value, but also adsorption of dust and other harmful gases in the air, release oxygen role, both beautiful and practical, but also very suitable for placement in the newly renovated house, like friends may wish to choose when the weather is better, buy such a pot at home yo!
