Are the fortune tree and the lucky tree the same?

1. The money tree and the fortune tree are different, they are not the same plant.

2. The fortune tree is also called the melon chestnut, goose palm money, and Central American kapok, while the lucky tree is called the Queensland umbrella tree, also known as the Australian Schefflera and the large-leaf umbrella. Although they are somewhat similar, they are not the same plant.

3. The trunk of the fortune tree is generally thicker, while the trunk of the lucky tree is smaller and shrub-like. The leaves of the lucky tree are smaller, about ten centimeters long, harder in texture, with various shapes and a glossy surface; while the leaves of the fortune tree are larger, up to about twenty centimeters long, softer in texture, more papery, with obvious layers, and look like an umbrella when the leaves droop.

How to propagate the money tree

1. 25-30 degrees is also the temperature for cuttings of the money tree. If you cut the money tree in summer from June to August, the money tree will take root and sprout faster.

2. First of all, let's talk about the cuttings. It is best to choose healthy and strong cuttings. After selecting the cuttings, you need to cut them into a horseshoe shape at the bottom of the cuttings, which can increase the contact area between the cuttings and the soil, which is more conducive to the rooting of the money tree.

3. For cuttings of money trees, there are many choices of soil. River sand, garden soil, vermiculite, perlite, and peat can all be used as cutting media.

4. Before cutting, you can soak the cuttings in rooting agent. The water-to-rooting ratio needs to be adjusted according to the method of use of each rooting agent. When soaking, you can add a small amount of fungicide. Because of the hot temperature, bacteria are easy to breed in the soil. Sterilizing the cuttings can reduce the occurrence of diseases.

5. After soaking, it can be directly inserted into the soil.

6. In the future, more diffuse light should be used for cultivation. Through diffuse light cultivation, the money tree cuttings can avoid the problem of strong light causing the water in the branches to lose too quickly, causing the branches to dry up and being unfavorable for rooting. Diffused light promotes photosynthesis of the money tree, synthesizes nutrients, and increases the rooting speed of the money tree.

7. The money tree takes root quickly in summer, basically in 20 days. After taking root, do not move it yet. Wait until its roots grow a little stronger before transplanting it. Generally, 2 months is the best time.

How to grow money tree in water

1. Prepare the materials.

To hydroponically cultivate the fortune tree, you need to prepare a medium-sized hydroponic container. The container should be transparent so that you can observe the state of its roots when cultivating it. In addition, you need to prepare some pure water and some clean pebbles.

2. Hydroponic plants.

Take the plant out of the soil and clean off the soil attached to its roots. Then tidy up its root system and cut off the old roots. If its branches and leaves are too lush, they also need to be properly pruned. After that, put it aside to dry.

During this period, water can be poured into the container until the water level reaches about one-third of the container's height. After the cut ends of the plant have dried, it can be placed in the water of the hydroponic container. Then, a layer of pebbles is laid in the planting basket to secure the plant and prevent it from falling sideways.

3. Post-maintenance.

When hydroponics is just started, it needs to be placed in a place with a temperature between 16-26℃ and soft light. At this time, it may shed leaves due to discomfort. But don't worry, as long as you change the water regularly, it will return to normal after it adapts.
