Understanding the habits of plants and the maintenance of cash trees what is the phenomenon of water shortage

Potted money trees, whether used for ornament, or for decorating the home environment, or for purifying indoor air, or for improving home fengshui, are often very practical. It can be seen that potted cash tree has a lot of uses for family users, so it is also widely used. Perhaps this is the reason why money trees are popular and popular in the market. However, if you want to make potted money tree give full play to its value, maintenance and management is very important.

Chimonanthus is originally a plant from tropical Africa, so it prefers the warm and hot environment. At the same time, it is not difficult to find that the money tree also has the characteristics of drought tolerance. Just because the tree is resistant to drought doesn't mean it doesn't need watering. It's just that it is not resistant to water and is afraid of being flooded. It is generally required that the basin soil environment should be kept slightly dry, and only after the basin soil is dry can it be watered thoroughly to avoid pouring half of the water. So, what is the phenomenon of water shortage in money trees?

The stems and branches of the tree are round and full, and the leaves are fat and plump, because there is a lot of water stored in it, and the tree is original and has underground tubers, as well as fleshy roots. These characteristics are also very similar to succulent plants, which may be the reason why they are drought-tolerant but not water-tolerant. In general, due to a short period of drought and lack of water, the money tree will sustain its life by consuming its own water. However, if the water shortage is serious and lasts too long, the plant will still show poor growth.

When the potted plant is suffering from drought and lack of water for a long time, the plant can not be replenished in time because of the depletion of water and nutrients stored by itself, so the plant will show a variety of poor growth. At the beginning of the period, the leaves may be thin and drooping, accompanied by wilting and curling, while the stems and branches will gradually become withered and shriveled, showing obvious characteristics of dehydration. If we do not remedy it in time, the plant will then show yellow stems and leaves, shedding and other phenomena, until finally let the plant die.

The lack of water and excessive watering or high humidity sometimes show the same bad growth phenomenon, mainly through its stems and leaves. However, the phenomenon of bad growth caused by water shortage and overwatering is also different, so we usually need to pay more attention to observe and determine whether the plant is short of water or too much water, and then we can prescribe the right medicine to adjust the humidity while taking scientific remedial measures to avoid bringing us more heavy losses.
