The money tree is not as easy to care for as it seems at first glance.

In this article, we will tell you how to do it correctly.

How to properly water a money tree in the summer

The main mistake gardeners make is to start watering succulents more abundantly in hot weather.

This is not necessary, since the plant can only absorb a certain amount of moisture, and the rest will stagnate at the roots and harm the flower.

This will cause the roots to gradually rot due to excess moisture.

Nutrients will stop flowing to the plant and it will die.

You need to water the money tree at home with settled, filtered or boiled warm water.

In summer, water the plant once every 20 days. In autumn - monthly watering after the soil dries out.

During wintering, water the flower when the leaves begin to become soft.

A young plant requires a little more water than an adult: it can be watered moderately once a week at the root with settled water at room temperature.

To determine whether a plant needs watering, dip the tip of your finger into the soil.

If it is dry, watering is already necessary.

Do not water if the soil is still wet.

Keep track not of days, but of the amount of moisture in the plant’s soil.
