Money Tree: Conditions of Maintenance and Nursing

Not everyone knows that the famous money tree is called "Tolstyanka" or "redsula". Under such names it is known only to specialists. But practically in every house you can meet this meaty, unpretentious plant of the succulent family . It is for his unpretentious and accommodating nature that the fagot is loved by so many florists.

Money Tree ... Where did this name come from? If you believe feng shui, it is this plant that can correct the financial situation of the family in which it lives. And we are so convinced in this that houseplants of a monetary tree are found in almost every house. But, again, according to Feng Shui, it is very important to properly plant the plant. It should be located on the south or south-east window, and then the wealth of your home is secured.

The birthplace of the money tree is Africa, Madagascar and the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. Like any succulent plant, redsula accumulates water in its leaves and is not afraid of drought. Florists know quite a lot of different species of this plant. But the most common are: a thick-skinned tree-like tree, a cotyledon dendritic and a silver plump. These plants are quite often found in our homes.

If you proceed from the recommendations for the care of this plant, it is necessary to know that the fat girl loves lighted windows, loves large volumes, as well as regular additional fertilizing. This plant, like very few, direct sunlight is only beneficial. And in the event that sunlight is not enough, then the fatty begins to hurt. This is expressed in the fact that the plant begins to discard the leaves, it will not bloom. And in some cases, in a dark room, the money tree simply dies. In the warm season, the peasant woman can be grown outdoors, but in the winter she does not like high temperatures. It is necessary to pay special attention to the watering regime. Dry air tolerates this plant perfectly. In principle, a money tree, watering which is carried out irregularly, can excel itself. To do this, however, it is necessary to constantly wipe the leaves from the dust and spray them. But the water for sprinkling must necessarily be permanent. This condition applies to all indoor plants, not just the redwood. In general, water this plant should be moderately. It especially does not like it when it is poured. Specialists who have been growing fatigue for years already say that it is necessary to water the plant when the top layer of the soil has already cracked. The money tree, which is watered often, can get sick and even die. And quite often the growers make a mistake in this respect. If they see that the plant begins to fade, they begin to water it abundantly. This, as time and do not need to. And in the event that the plant is located in a cool room, then it should be watered very rarely. So, it is necessary to sum up: in order for such houseplants as a monetary tree to feel normal, it is necessary to follow the regime of lighting and watering. And then they will please you more than one year.

To feed the plant is necessary in the spring-summer period. But in winter and autumn, the fatigue is in a state of rest, so it is not necessary to feed it.

The plant can multiply by means of cuttings, seeds and leaves. But it must be emphasized that reproduction with seeds and leaves is rather complicated, time-consuming. But the cuttings are available to anyone, even a beginner floriculturist.

It is necessary to transplant a plant once every two to three years. Or maybe even less. This will depend on the speed with which it grows. The pot for this plant should be quite heavy and deep, in proportion to the plant. It is necessary that the tolstyanka stay in the pot and not fall under its own weight.
