Fat woman as a means to attract money

A money tree, a breadfruit tree, a tree of happiness - what beautiful names flower growers have not come up with for a plant that is correctly called a fat woman (crassula).

The most popular varieties among flower growers are Crassula ovata and Crassula lycopsus. Both species are succulents and are completely different from each other.

Reproduction of the money tree is carried out using seeds or cuttings. Seeds are sown in shallow containers with drainage holes, then covered with polyethylene. The subsequent care of seedlings consists in regular airing and spraying. After 2-3 weeks, the first shoots will sprout. This method of breeding a fat woman is quite complicated.

The method of propagation of Crassula by cuttings is much simpler. The stalk can be rooted in water or immediately planted in the ground. The shoot of the money tree is planted in a pot to a depth of about 5 cm. Some flower growers believe that when cuttings are planted in March or April, the likelihood that the fat woman will bloom in the future increases. And if you plant a crassula in the middle of summer, there will be less chance of it.

How to choose the right pot for the money tree

The fat woman has a rather massive ground part, which means that this flower better fit wide and low pot with good stability. This choice of flowerpot is also due to the fact that Crassula has a superficial root system. For successful drainage of water into the pan, there should be small holes at the bottom of the pot.

Of course, it is not necessary to immediately plant a shoot of a money tree in a large flowerpot. To begin with, a small pot is enough, but as the flower grows, it must be transplanted into a more suitable flowerpot.

How to transplant a money tree

To transplant a grown-up flower of a fat woman, you need to take a pot of a suitable size, fill it with a drainage layer by a third (for example, from pieces of coal or crushed brick), then fill it with earth. Transplantation is carried out by the method of transshipment of an earthen coma. So the plant will more easily tolerate this procedure. After that, the soil is filled up to the top.

In the process of transplanting, you need to carefully examine the root system of the flower. Rotting roots, indicating an excess of moisture, must be removed. After that, the crassula is left for a day to dry.

How to choose land for planting a fat woman

Planting a money tree should be carried out in the ground for succulents, to which this plant belongs. The flower feels best in soddy land. The soil that is used for growing cacti is suitable, but the fat woman is also successfully planted in universal soil.

How to care for a money tree

Growing a money tree at home is not laborious and very interesting. This flower comes from hot countries, so it needs to provide conditions as close to tropical as possible. In spring and summer, Crassula has a growing season, and winter is a dormant time. The main care for the money tree at home is to follow the following rules.

How to water a money tree?

Many flower growers have a question, how to properly water a money tree? The first rule: you can not allow the gulf of a fat woman. Too much moisture is detrimental to her. Over-watering can cause roots to rot and leaves to fall off. In the warm season, the plant can be watered twice a week, with the onset of cold weather, watering is reduced to a minimum. In order not to flood the money tree, before each watering, you need to check the condition of the soil at a depth of 3-4 centimeters. If the land is dry there, you can safely water the crassula.

In case of non-compliance with the irrigation regime and excessive soil moisture, the root system is susceptible to fungus damage. In this case, you can save the money tree if you take it out of the pot together with an earthen clod, dry it thoroughly and treat it with a special solution from fungi.

However, Crassula can also suffer from a lack of moisture! Ideally, the land with a flower should be slightly moist.

We wipe the leaves of the fat woman - we attract money!

Flower growers advise from time to time to wipe the leaves of the fat woman with a damp cloth to remove dust, and sprinkle water on them from a spray bottle. It would be optimal to give Crassula a warm shower once a week. In winter, such a "wash" can be arranged once a month.

The water should be warm, but not hot. To prevent moisture from entering the soil, you can cover the ground in a pot with ordinary cling film. You can not take a wet fat woman to its place. Let the water drain a little.

Where is it better to put a money tree in an apartment

The fat woman is a light-loving plant, but it is strictly forbidden to put it under the scorching sun. Moreover, in such a case upper layer earth in a pot will dry out very quickly.

The plant will fully grow on the windowsill on the southeast side, where there will always be light, but there will be no sun. With the onset of spring, many flower growers put it on the floor of the balcony, and in winter - on the windowsill on the south side.

Insufficient lighting can contribute to the stretching of the stem of the plant, as a result of which it becomes ugly in shape. To prevent this, the fat woman must be placed on window sills, especially in poorly lit rooms.

AT summer time for crassula, a temperature of 20 to 25 degrees is suitable. But in winter, the flower will need a decrease in temperature to 10 - 15 degrees. It is allowed to decrease to 6 degrees of heat. If it is not possible to place the plant in winter in a room with such a temperature, then at least the flower should be removed from the battery.

A negative consequence of the wrong temperature during the dormant period can be the extension of the trunk of the crassula and the fall of the leaves located below. Leaves can also fall off if there is a constant draft in the room where the money tree pot is. Of course, the fat woman needs constant ventilation, but drafts should not be allowed to appear. They will only hurt.

The money tree needs to be fed!

As top dressings for a fat woman, universal preparations or additives for succulents are most often used. To nutrients absorbed better, plants fertilize only after watering.

Fertilization is carried out during the growing season - in spring and summer with a frequency of 1 time per month. In the autumn-winter period, feeding is carried out 1 time in 3 months.

Crown formation

To create a uniform and symmetrical shape, the fat woman is rotated in the light around its axis. But to form a beautiful crown, the flower still has to be cut a little.

To form a crown, you need to wait until four new leaves appear on the plant, and a new bud begins to form. It must be pinched off by gently twisting it with your hands or with miniature tweezers.

Each branch of the money tree should have no more than three or four pairs of leaves. When the tree grows up, its top will also need to be pinched off.

If the moment when four leaves have already grown is missed, and new leaves appear, circumcision will help. It is necessary to cut the branch over the 4th pair of leaves. The cut is covered with activated carbon powder.

Possible problems in the care of the money tree

Many flower growers complain that the leaves are falling or withering at the fat woman. What can be wrong?

Excessive watering contributes to the darkening of the leaves, changing their color or falling off.

A change in the color of the foliage to dirty yellow can still be caused by a fungal disease from waterlogging the soil.

Watering cold water- Another reason that diseases appear in a tropical flower.

The appearance of brown spots on the foliage indicates a lack of moisture.

The rot that appeared at the base of the stem is a sure sign of rotting of the root system of the plant. In this case, the apical part of the plant is cut off, and the flower is grown in a new way.

money tree pests

Crassula is an unpretentious and pest-resistant plant. However, there are quite a few pests attacking the fat woman:

Shchitovka - forms brownish or yellow spots. Methods of treatment: "Fufanon", "Fitoverm", soap solution.
