1. Soil selection

In the process of culturing Pachira (braid pachira / single trunk pachira), you can choose a flowerpot with a larger diameter as a container, which can make the seedlings grow better and avoid continuous pot change in the later stage. In addition, as the root system of the pachira spp is not developed, loose, fertile and highly breathable soil should be selected as the cultivation substrate. In the process of soil preparation, river sand, wood chips and garden soil can be mixed to form the cultivation substrate.

2. Watering method

Money tree itself has a special feature of being wet and afraid of waterlogging. If the soil is too wet, the leaves will wither and fall. Under normal circumstances, in spring and autumn, the soil can be watered every 2 to 3 days to ensure that the soil is slightly wet. In summer, the evaporation rate of water is fast, so it needs to be watered in the morning and evening. In winter, the amount of water can be reduced to ensure that the soil is slightly dry.

3. Fertilization method

Pachira is suitable for growing in a fertile soil environment. After the young plant enters the growth period, it is necessary to apply the decomposed liquid fertilizer every 20 days. In summer and winter, fertilization should be stopped when the temperature are too high or too low. After entering the mature period, because there are nutrients and water stored in the stem, it is only necessary to apply thin fertilizer once a month to supplement nutrition.
