How to prevent frostbite of fortune tree in winter

Before the temperature drops in winter, we need to move the money tree to a warm indoor place for maintenance. Close the doors and windows, and timely add heating facilities such as electric heaters according to the changes in the indoor ambient temperature to increase the indoor ambient temperature. Alternatively, you can use bamboo sticks and plastic sheets to build a small insulation shed and put the money tree inside for maintenance. In short, no matter what method you use, you must ensure that the ambient temperature is warm and comfortable in the cold winter to avoid frostbite on the money tree and facilitate the smooth wintering of the money tree.

How to keep the fortune tree alive when its roots are rotten

If the roots of the money tree are rotten because the soil in the pot is too wet, then you need to take the money tree out of the pot in time, clean up the excess soil, and use a sharp knife to scrape off the rotten root tissue until the healthy part is exposed. Then apply fungicides such as carbendazim to the wound to sterilize and disinfect it. Finally, replant it with a granular substrate such as disinfected river sand to induce rooting, and keep the cultivation substrate moist during the period. If the environment is suitable, it will take root and survive in about a month.

How to fertilize the fortune tree correctly

In the daily maintenance of the fortune tree, during the spring, summer and autumn growing season, it is recommended to apply some organic fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium every one to two months to meet the growth needs of the plant. In winter, the fortune tree plant is dormant due to low temperatures and its growth is stagnant. At this time, we must stop applying any fertilizer to prevent fertilizer damage and facilitate wintering. Note: It is better to use less rather than more.
