Money tree alias gold coin tree, snow shovel, Zemi Tiannanxing, Longfengmu, Tiannan Xingke perennial evergreen plant.
The plant height of the money tree can reach 50-80 cm, and the underground part is a large tuber with a diameter of 5-8 cm and a pale yellow color. There is no main stem in the shoot, and the adventitious buds sprout from the tubers to form large compound leaves. The lobes have short petiole, and the base of the stem is swollen into a spherical shape, which stores a large amount of water. The leaves are oval, and the feather-shaped spiral is born on the fat fleshy stems, like a string of copper coins, hence the name of the money tree.
The leaves are green and shiny. Flowering after 3-4 years of planting, flaming inflorescences from the base. The money tree is native to the tropical (grassland) climate zone with less rainfall in eastern Africa. It is warm, afraid of high humidity, low temperature, rain, soil viscosity and water in the basin. It is more resistant to drought, but it is cold and avoids glare. Exposure. Money trees can be propagated by ramets and cuttings.
Planting a money tree substrate with peat soil plus a small amount of perlite, chicken manure or cake fertilizer, compound fertilizer mixed heap for half a year to use, but can not use coconut milk. When the roots of the cuttings are formed into 3-4 or more, the upper basin can be transplanted, and the upper pot needs to be poured immediately after the upper pot.
(1) The temperature growth temperature is 20-30 °C. Whether it is potted or ground, the annual average temperature change is small, and the productive cultivation is best carried out in a temperature-controlled greenhouse. Every summer, when the temperature reaches 35 °C or above in the Yangtze River Basin, the plant growth is not good. It should be cooled by adding black net shading and spraying water to the surrounding environment. Winter temperatures are best maintained at 10 °C.
(2) Illumination money tree hi light and strong resistance to negative, especially should avoid the sun and the sun after the early spring and early summer, and the 5-6 hours of strong light baking around the noon in summer, otherwise it will easily lead to new The delicate leaves that were pumped were burned. From the end of the spring to the Mid-Autumn Festival, it should be placed under the shade of 90%.
(3) Moisture potted money trees need a moist and dry environment. When the room temperature reaches above 33 °C, the plant should be sprayed once a day to keep the soil slightly wet and dry. Normal watering can be done once every 7-10 days. In the summer, pay attention to spraying water on the foliage and surrounding environment to make the air humidity reach 50% or more. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is necessary to reduce the watering, or spray it with water, which is conducive to the new and tender leaves to survive the winter.
(4) The soil substrate is mostly mixed with peat, wood chips, mushroom puree, chicken manure or washed cinder with a small amount of garden soil or yellow mud, and the pH is adjusted to 6.0-6.5. It should be planted in deep porcelain pots or purple sand pots, but the lower part should be covered with stones, cinders or bark blocks, and the height is about 1/4 of the depth of the pot. The plants are loosened once a month during the growing season to maintain the permeability of the culture substrate. During the rainy season, it is necessary to check frequently and find that there is water in the basin. It is necessary to remove the accumulated water in time.
(5) Fertilizer money tree is more like fertilization. Except for chicken manure, cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer, the cultivation medium should be added with 1-2 times of 0.2% urea and 0.1% dihydrogen phosphate every month. Potassium mixture can also be applied to dry compound fertilizer. Nitrogen should be stopped after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The money tree pests and diseases have stem rot, brown spot and scale insects, red spiders, and attention should be paid to prevention and treatment.
