Here Is A Quick Cure For MONEY PLANT

 

Money plant care is not a major issue of concern as the tree mostly thrives in normal conditions. 

A well cared for plant can grow up to 12 feet, while an averagely cared tree can still grow up to 7 feet. 

Since it does not demand extensive or expert care, even beginners can easily take care of it. 

Although it does not require special care and attention, it is important that you know what are the ideal water, light and soil conditions for this plant, so that it grows to its full health.

Potting

The size of the pot would depend upon the size of the plant you wish to grow. 

For indoor houseplants, it is ideal to go for bonsai varieties.

Outdoor plants can be potted in the pots that are ideal for their size. 

In any case, you will have to re-pot them every two years, as the plant tends to grow fast.

Avoid planting the tree in a pot that is too small for it. This way you could constrict its growth.

It is always better to go for a pot that is a bit large for the size of the plant. 

This way you can avoid the hassle of repotting the plant too frequently.

Soil

Money plants prefer soil that allows better aeration and drainage. 

Mixing river sand with normal potting soil is a good way of ensuring good soil conditions for the plant. 

Alternatively, you can also go for potting soil with high pearlite content (the one used for cacti plantation). 

Money plants grow well in the soil that is only slightly moist.

Watering

Money plant flourishes when you water it adequately, but it can still thrive when you under water it. However, avoid over watering it under all circumstances. 

Water the plant once every 7 to 10 days during summer. It is essential to let the soil dry between two watering sessions. 

However, the interval between the two watering sessions shouldn’t be too much so that the soil dries up and begins to crack. 

While watering make sure, you are watering it to the extent that the soil becomes wet but not clogged with water. 

If the leaves curl up, be sure that you are adding too much water.

If they dry up and become listless, you are not watering it enough.  Instead of too much watering,  use Plantic Moneydrop Money Plant Liquid Fertilizer once in a week . 

Damp the foliage of the plant by misting them with a spray bottle. However, avoid this, if you have placed the plant in direct sunlight.

Light

Money plants can grow well in direct sunlight as well as indoors, in low light. 

Alternate sunlight and shade is ideal for the plant’s growth. 

Although it can tolerate a high amount of sunlight, 

it is common sense not to place your plant in scorching sunlight during summer. 

You can easily burn it by doing so.

Fertilizer for Money Plant

The money plant is one of the most popular houseplants not only in India but everywhere.

These easy to maintain plants can work well in almost any type of Organic Fertilizers. However, 

it is always better to use natural fertilizers like rotted cow manure, compost, and chicken manure. If you are using chemical fertilizer, 

then a nitrate-based plant would be an ideal choice for the growth of this plant.

If you are using water or gel as a growing medium for your plant, then use a liquid-based fertilizer. 

You can also use a water-soluble fertilizer. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendation at the label before the application.

Why Use a Fertilizer?

Money plants are slow-growing and take their time to grow.

But there are times when plants might be droopy with dull foliage, 

which can be due to the lack of certain minerals. Although the plants can prepare their food through the process of photosynthesis,

the fertilizers provide extra nutrients helpful in the production of enzymes, vitamins, compounds, and hormones that are essential for the growth of plants.

How To Apply a Fertilizer?

It is important to fertilize your money plants with the right kind of fertilizer.

It becomes even more necessary to fertilize container plants, as the plants keep on absorbing the nutrients of the potting soil and the rest of it drains each time you water it.

When using organic fertilizer, directly put it in the soil when potting the plant and keep providing them with the same doses later as well. 

If you are using a granular, nitrate-based fertilizer, mix directly in the soil. For liquid fertilizer, mix it with water and

 then use the solution when you water the plants as it quickly spreads throughout the soil.
