How to make the fortune tree sprout new buds? What is the reason for the new buds of the fortune tree to dry up?

Many people have money trees in their homes. They are a very ornamental plant. In addition, the money tree has good meaning and good symbolic meaning in Feng Shui. Many families and companies will maintain it indoors. The money tree can only grow more luxuriantly by sprouting new buds, so how can we make the money tree sprout new buds?

How to make the fortune tree sprout new buds

First, fertilize it during the growing season, and its growth will improve, and it will naturally grow more and more luxuriant. It is best to use some fermented organic fertilizer to fertilize the money tree. Do not use raw fertilizer or too concentrated fertilizer. If you are not sure, you can directly buy some liquid fertilizer or granular organic fertilizer, sprinkle some in the pot before watering, and then water it thoroughly. Generally, the best time to fertilize is early autumn and early summer.

Second, light. Although the money tree is afraid of strong sunlight in summer, we cannot always put it in a corner without sunlight. We need to maintain scattered light. In spring and autumn, we can also expose it to the sun so that it will not grow too tall and its branches and leaves will be more lush.

Third, watering is very important. You cannot water it every day because the money tree is usually kept indoors and the evaporation is not large. Therefore, if you want to water it, you must first check the soil in the pot. If it is not dry, do not water it. If you do water it, water it thoroughly.

Fourth, when pruning the money tree, do not prune it heavily, as this will affect its growth. Just cut off some weak branches, branches with pests and diseases, or dead branches. You do not need to prune it at other times.

Fifth, if the fortune tree does not grow lushly and the pot soil has not been changed for a long time, we can change the soil and pot again, and replace it with loose and fertile soil. This will be more conducive to its growth.

Why do the new shoots of the fortune tree dry up?

The first possibility is that the dry soil is compacted and not breathable, and coupled with excessive watering, water accumulates in the soil, causing the roots of the money tree to rot, which causes the new shoots to dry up.

In this case, you need to loosen the soil frequently to ensure that it is loose and breathable, and be careful not to water it too frequently.

The second possibility is that it is caused by improper fertilization. Applying too much fertilizer or too close to the root system will cause the roots of the money tree to burn.

In this case, you should pay attention to reasonable fertilization, apply less fertilizer frequently, and don't apply it too close to the root system.

How to grow seedlings of fortune tree

New money tree seedlings can be cultivated through sowing, cuttings, etc. If there is already a mother plant that has grown longer, it is best to use cuttings to cultivate seedlings. This method is relatively simple and has a higher survival rate. If there is no mother plant that has grown well, you can successfully cultivate money tree seedlings through sowing.

Cut the branches for cuttings, disinfect the roots before cuttings, soak them in medicine (aspirin solution) for half an hour, then dry them, place them in a cool place, and use clean water or disinfected soil for cuttings. They will generally germinate after two weeks.
