How to generate money tree

Many of us have a money tree ( "krasulla," or the common people "Crassula"), but not always it grows beautiful. Due to errors in the care of the plant is pulled up, its branches are thin, long, and leaves only at the top.

Unfortunately, in a city apartment it is very difficult to create ideal conditions for krasully, so be sure to shape the tree and it is desirable to begin to do so when it is still quite small.

The first mistake made by most people - this is the wrong choice of pots. When a large amount of land taproot extends downwards and upwards plant itself, making it thin and weak. If your plant has been in a large pot, transplant it into a small pot and flat.



The soil for the money tree should consist of half sand and fine gravel. It can be easily purchased at flower shops.

When transplanting you noticed that the root of the plant has grown in length, slightly shorten it with scissors so that he successfully fit in the new pot.

Water the money tree is recommended not abundant, but often, as with abundant watering potted water can stagnate, which is often the cause of the decay of plant roots.

If your tree is small and is not the beginning of the branch (the optimum height of 15 centimeters), otschipnite 2 small upper leaf, it is possible to nip off and more, but only so that at the end of branches were 2 large sheets. Later on this place to begin branching (appear immediately leaves 2 pairs), but if this does not happen, and will be only one pair, it should nip off again.

Start forming a money tree can be later. Even if it has already grown large, you can shorten the branches, but, unfortunately, the site otschipyvaniya remain hemp, so it is best to take up the formation of the plant when it is still young, and remove only the top leaves, where, in your opinion, the tree should branch out .

Krasulla - a very hardy plant. It does not require special care, and even without the problems will transfer the prolonged absence of irrigation. Propagate it is also easy. Just put a little twig and some days it will give the roots in water.

Try to create a money tree and after some time you will be pleasantly surprised by the result, and perhaps it even becomes your little hobby.
