A netizen said that his wish in 2024 is to be able to have a lot of money, so he bought a pot of fortune trees and put them on his desk, looking at them every day, and inspiring himself. It may be that many people raise the Fortune Tree because it has a beautiful meaning, otherwise it is easy to yellow leaves and rotten roots, and it will be eliminated long ago.
In fact, if you want to raise a good fortune tree, you only need to remember 5 "mantras", and your fortune tree will be able to thrive and be full of vitality.
1. Spray more and water less
The root system of the fortune tree is thin and sensitive, and it prefers a dry environment. Therefore, in order not to damage the root system, it is necessary to water a small amount of water, keep the potting soil moderately moist, and follow the principle of "dry and watered".
However, the leaves of the fortune tree are relatively thin and need to be sprayed with water from time to time to maintain humidity, and the leaves can also be cleaned, which is more conducive to photosynthesis.
2. More astigmatism, less darkness
Although the foliage of the fortune tree is lush, its leaves are afraid of strong light and are prone to sunburn, but it cannot be completely protected from light, because photosynthesis mainly depends on the leaves.
Just like a person basking in the sun, moderation is the best choice, and excessive can lead to sunburn. Therefore, placing the Fortune Tree in soft light can not only protect the leaves, but also promote photosynthesis, so that the plant can grow healthily.
3. More bottom fertilizer, less top dressing
Although the root system of the fortune tree is not well developed, it still prefers loose, fertile soil. When arranging potting soil, try to use soil rich in organic matter to provide sufficient nutrients for the tree to grow in.
For example, when configuring the soil, you can mix in fermented and rotted sheep manure, chicken manure, etc., to make the soil more fertile. Because the rotting fertilizer releases nutrients slowly and has a long fertilizer effect, it is safer than the root topdressing in the maintenance process.
Fourth, more ventilation, less stuffiness
Fortune trees need good ventilation, just like we need a breath of fresh air. If the air is not circulated and the water cannot evaporate, the plant is prone to root rot, the leaves will turn yellow, and the growth will be hindered.
Therefore, to maintain the fortune tree, it is necessary to give it a well-ventilated home, so that it can "breathe" freely and thrive.
Fifth, like warmth, afraid of cold
Although the trunk of the fortune tree is thick, the root system is not well developed, and the leaves are relatively thin, so it cannot tolerate low temperatures. It is suitable for growing in a warm environment of 15 to 25 ° C, and once the temperature drops below 10 ° C in winter, it can be frost damaged, just as we are prone to colds when we wear short sleeves in the cold winter.
Therefore, make sure that the Fortune Tree grows in a warm and comfortable environment, and when it is placed in winter, avoid placing it in window vents to avoid frost damage.
To maintain the Fortune Tree, just remember these 5 "mantras", and the Fortune Tree will thrive under your careful care, showing the vigorous vitality of life.
