Selection of planting material and soil

Initially, it is recommended to select planting material and prepare the soil. There are several ways to grow a money tree:

• leaves;
• seeds;
• cuttings.

Money tree - how to plant a shoot at home

Seeds are rarely used for planting; in most cases, two other methods are chosen. There are several methods for planting a money tree shoot:

• Place the cutting in water and wait for the roots to appear, then transplant the plant into a selected pot. This takes little time, the root system is formed quickly.
• The cut cuttings are left in a dry and dark place for about a week to dry. Then place it in a cup with wet sand. It is important to constantly monitor soil moisture. After rooting occurs, the crop is transplanted to a permanent location.
• It is possible to plant the cutting immediately in a selected pot, and then cover it with a jar or film. After some time, new leaves will begin to appear on the plant, then the cover can be removed.
• The Crassula leaf is placed in the ground and secured in a standing position. Water carefully using a spray bottle. Gradually, the plant will develop roots and begin to grow.

Additional Information! It is important not to constantly pull the flower, but to wait for the root system to grow well. It is recommended to select a suitable container before planting. It is better to immediately choose a ceramic or clay pot with a good volume.

When choosing soil, pay attention to its nutritional value and looseness. In poor-quality soil, the plant does not adapt and develop well. Soil for Crassula consists of the following components:

• 1/3 sand;
• 1/2 peat;
• 1/2 leaf soil;
• a small amount of perlite or vermiculite.

Planting a money tree is not difficult, just follow the step-by-step instructions:

1. A drainage layer is placed at the bottom of the selected container. For this purpose, gravel, expanded clay or pebbles are used. Make a layer 2 cm.
2. Pour prepared soil.
3. Carefully place the sprout in the pot and straighten the roots.
4. Add the required amount of earth to the sides and compact slightly.
5. After planting, water carefully.

Further development depends on care and environmental conditions. Crassula can grow tall and large, so it is important to replant on time.

Sprouts quickly take root in water

Caring for the plant immediately after transplantation

After completing the transplantation process, you should not water the plant for several days. During this time, damage to the roots will have time to heal. Otherwise, if water gets on the damaged roots, rotting will occur, leading to the death of the plant.

The transplanted money tree is placed in partial shade for 2 weeks. If this is not done, it can shed a significant part of the leaf mass and lose its decorative appearance for a long time.

2 weeks after transplanting, the tree can already be moved to a more illuminated place and gradually begin to accustom it to sunlight. This plant requires bright but diffuse lighting. In partial shade, the flower will stretch out and grow weak and thin shoots. However, exposing the flower to direct sun is not recommended. Its leaves may be damaged by direct sunlight and fall off.

After transplantation, the fat plant slows down its growth for some time. It is better to limit watering during this time, watering very rarely so that the top layer of soil is dry almost all the time. Once the plant resumes vigorous growth, watering can be gradually increased.

The transplanted plant should not be sprayed with water. Getting into the axils of the leaves, water can cause rotting of the shoots and stems. It is recommended to carefully wipe the leaves with a damp sponge to remove dust.

• To make a profit, it is recommended to communicate with a fat woman. The best day of the week is Wednesday. They tell the money tree about financial problems and ask it for help and success. They do it with soul.
• When wiping the leaves, it is recommended to count them. Each leaf symbolizes a coin, and money, as you know, loves counting.
• For planting, choose a red pot. If this is not the case, then the problem is solved in another way - they tie it with a red ribbon or apply patterns on it with red paint.
• After the profit has appeared, a few coins are placed in a pile near the pot. This enhances the effect of the money tree as a talisman.

Is it possible to plant Crassula cuttings without roots?

There are several ways to propagate a money tree, the simplest and most effective of which is considered to be propagation by cuttings. A stem cutting separated from an adult plant can be germinated either in water, followed by replanting in the ground, or directly in the ground. The first roots with both options, as a rule, appear within a week; complete rooting can take from one to two months.

A flowering plant is a sign of good luck

What pot should you plant a money tree in to make it bring money?

In order for the plant to contribute to the emergence of finances, it is important to choose the right pot. When choosing, pay attention to:

• Material. The pot should be made of natural materials - ceramics or clay.
• The container is chosen in black, green or red. They attract luck, success and prosperity.
• The pot may contain Feng Shui symbols or images of Chinese coins.

Additional Information! You should not choose a large pot; a medium-sized container is enough.

Preparing the plant for transplantation

Before you start transplanting a money tree, you need to prepare:

• Container for transplantation;
• Soil mixture;
• Plant.

The container for transplanting should be of the recommended size and shape, and also be made of red clay or other ceramic material. Used pots should be thoroughly washed with soap and rinsed with hot water. It is recommended to soak new clay pots in warm water for 1 day so that they do not dry out the soil during the first time after replanting.

Soil for a money tree can be purchased and mixed yourself. Typically, soil mixtures are sold already processed; they are free of pests, fungi and pathogenic bacteria. This soil can be immediately used for replanting. But if it has a characteristic mushroom smell, treatment is necessary. It is also necessary to cultivate the soil mixed with your own hands.

Before transplanting, the soil is steamed at a temperature of 80°C for 0.5-1 hour. To do this, it is placed in a metal tray, moistened, covered with foil and placed in the oven. After steaming, when the soil has cooled, it is ready for use. Sometimes the soil is calcined on metal sheets, but with such heating it loses some nutritional properties. Therefore, soil treatment by steaming is preferable.

Preparing the plant consists of watering it in a timely manner to ensure the necessary moisture in the earthen ball. When transplanting, the soil should not crumble; the lump of earth should remain moist. The plant is well watered. After 3-4 days, when the soil dries a little, the flower is ready for replanting.

How to properly care for a money tree to make money

Plant care is important. Feng Shui experts recommend following the following rules:

• Water for irrigation is infused with coins, and the irrigation process itself is carried out on Wednesday - financial and energy day.
• Place the pot on the south or southeast window - the side of financial attraction.
• After landing, tie a red thread or ribbon. They hang coins or paper bills on them.

Note! It is important to keep an eye on neighboring plants. You should not leave the flower next to cacti to avoid energy disruption.

To attract wealth, the money tree should be loved. The home should have a favorable environment. With constant scandals, the plant will not be able to receive positive energy, and its effect will be minimal.

Acidity

Soil acidity is an indicator that requires attention. Succulents can easily withstand even acidic soil, but Crassula is an exception. For full growth of the crop, the soil must have a light structure that prevents moisture stagnation, good air permeability, increased drainage properties, and neutral acidity levels.

A slightly acidic type of soil is allowed to be used provided that special neutralizers are added. When the soil becomes acidic, the fat plant begins to hurt and stops growing. Although during the growth process the plant gradually alkalizes the substrate.

Know! If the soil is not chosen correctly, the flower may die. Typical garden soil has excessive density and retains moisture, resulting in the formation of a crust on the surface, which prevents the evaporation of moisture.

What to do if the money tree died

Despite the fact that the fat plant is an unpretentious plant, cases of its death cannot be ruled out. Unfortunately, this phenomenon often occurs due to improper care. If signs of flower disease appear, rescue measures are taken:

• Carefully inspect the plant, trunk, leaves and twigs. Perhaps the flower is affected by a disease or harmful insects, which are gotten rid of using special means.
• The culture is removed from the pot and the root system is carefully examined. If necessary, cut off rotten roots.
• The removed plant is transplanted into a new pot.
• It is allowed to use antiseptics to treat the flower.
• The leaves are washed with soapy water.

On a note! After the procedures, it is recommended to provide the crop with normal care and carefully monitor soil moisture.

Hanging coins on a tree to attract good luck

When properly planted and cared for, the money tree is easy to grow. It can become a wonderful talisman and bring good luck and prosperity. A positive atmosphere in the home is important. Planting and growing are accompanied by special spells and rituals that will help increase the circulation of energy. If you follow the rules, there will always be money in the house.

Problems during cultivation

Sometimes when growing a money tree, people encounter certain problems. Among the most common unpleasant situations is yellowing of foliage.

There are several reasons why leaves begin to change color and gradually fade:

• Using a small pot. If the bush becomes too crowded, its leaves begin to gradually turn yellow, fall off and wither. In this case, you will have to start transplanting into another container.
• Insufficient moisture. If you water the fat plant too rarely, it will not have enough moisture, which will lead to yellowing on the surface of the leaf blades. Therefore, you need to monitor the watering regime to avoid such problems.
• Incorrect feeding. A lack of nutritional components can also lead to yellowing of the leaves. You need to feed the flower monthly.
• Unsuitable growing conditions. You need to monitor the temperature in the room where the tree grows. It should not be allowed to be too high, as this can lead to drying out of the foliage.

Also, yellowness on the leaves may appear due to bacterial and fungal infections. They can affect not only foliage, but also the root system. If the fat woman is not treated in time, she will die.

Infrequent watering - often leads to yellowing of foliage
