3. Precautions

When planting a money tree or repotting it for the first time, add some organic fertilizer or farmyard manure to the soil as a potassium-based fertilizer. During its vigorous growth period, fertilizer should be applied every 10-15 days. You can choose compound fertilizer, cake fertilizer, or bone meal fertilizer. When fertilizing, just dig a small hole in the soil, put the fertilizer in and bury it. Be careful not to fertilize excessively, as this can easily cause fertilizer damage.

1. Fertilization method

1. Base fertilizer: When planting money trees or changing pots, some base fertilizer should be added to the soil. You can use farmyard manure and organic fertilizer. The soil has sufficient nutrients. It will be more conducive to its later growth.

2. Top dressing: During the vigorous growth period of the plant, a large amount of fertilizer is required, so from May to September, top dressing should be done every 10 to 15 days. Fertilization usually uses compound fertilizer, cake fertilizer, or bone meal fertilizer. When fertilizing, you can first dig a few small holes in the soil and put a few grains of compound fertilizer in the holes, so that the fertilizer effect will gradually dilute the fertilizer.

2. What to do with dried leaves

If you fertilize the money tree too much, its root system will be easily burned and rotted, causing the leaves to dry out and turn yellow. Stop fertilizing it for a short period of time and water it slightly so that the fertilizer can flow out from the bottom of the pot with the water. You can also put the plant in a new pot, rinse the soil from the plant's roots, and finally replace it with new soil and plant it in the pot again.

3. Precautions

When applying fertilizer, do not apply it too close to its root system, as it may easily burn the root system, and do not apply it on the leaves, as it will cause the leaves to rot. Fertilizer should be applied at a certain distance from the roots so that it will not be burned.
