Feeding the money tree needs to be done when it is planted and when it is in a period of vigorous growth. Slow-release fertilizers can be used during planting, and some liquid fertilizers are mainly used during the growth period. Slow-release fertilizers need to be buried in the soil, and liquid fertilizers need to be diluted and then used; fertilization should be done in small amounts and many times. Don’t apply too much fertilizer each time, and the frequency can be controlled once a week or two; nitrogen fertilizers and potassium fertilizers are very important. Try not to fertilize when the plant is in the dormant period.

1. Fertilization time

First of all, it is best to use some fertilizer when planting, which will help the subsequent growth of the plant. Furthermore, it needs fertilizer during its growth period, especially from April to September, which is the stage when it grows the fastest.

2. Types of fertilizers

As the base fertilizer used during planting, you can choose some slow-release fertilizers, which have good results. The main ones used during the growth period are some liquid fertilizers, which can be purchased from a flower shop. You can directly purchase fertilizer specifically for money trees, which will have better results.

3. Fertilization method

1. Slow-release fertilizer can be buried directly into the soil and it will work slowly. Liquid fertilizer needs to be diluted first before use. Fertilizer that is too thick can easily cause fertilizer damage.

2. Fertilizer can be applied in small amounts and multiple times, that is, the amount of fertilization needs to be controlled each time, and the frequency can be more. Once in a week or two is more appropriate.

3. Since the money tree is mainly a foliage plant, it requires more nitrogen and potassium fertilizers. You need to pay more attention to these two types of elements to promote the growth of its branches and leaves.

IV. Precautions

The money tree may enter a dormant state due to inappropriate temperature. There is no need to fertilize at this time, otherwise it will easily cause damage to the root system of the plant.
