Transplanting a money tree in stages:

1. Select soil for planting Crassula

Primer for money tree transplants Can be a general purpose mixture or a mixture for cacti and succulents. If you choose a universal primer for indoor flowers, then it is best to add a little sand to it, approximately in a ratio of 1:4.

You need to add about two centimeters of drainage (expanded clay) to the bottom of the pot. It absorbs excess moisture and protects the roots from rotting.

Those who know about the miraculous ability of the Crassula to attract financial benefits recommend putting a few coins at the bottom of the pot - they will perform the function of drainage and will attract money into your wallet.

2. Which pot to choose for Crassula

We select a low and wide pot; the tree will be comfortable in it, since root system his is superficial. For plant stability, it is better that the diameter of the pot matches the diameter of the flower crown. An unsuitable pot slows down the growth of the fat plant or stops it altogether. If you notice that the tree is growing slowly, transplant it into a wide pot.

3. Leave the old soil at the root

The plant will endure replanting less painfully if it is handled. Crassula, along with big lump soil near the roots, place in new pot and add fresh earthen mixture.

There are times when some of the roots of the fat plant rot, most often as a result of excessive watering. Then such roots must be cut off and the plant dried for at least a day, leaving it with an open root system.

4. Accuracy is a good idea

When replanting, you should be very careful with the plant, as they are very fragile and easily fall off the trunk.

• Until the fat plant finally takes root in its new place, it should be protected from sunlight and excessive waterlogging.
• Watering should be done when the top layer of soil is clearly dry, avoiding waterlogging.
• Wipe the leaves periodically with a damp cloth or spray.
• Temperature is moderate. In summer, it is better to keep the tree in partial shade in the fresh air - on the balcony or in the garden. In winter, it is advisable to place it in a cooler place, away from heating appliances.
• It should be fed once a month, from the beginning of spring to autumn, with a special fertilizer for succulents or a universal fertilizer.

If you do it right, it may bloom. If you believe superstitions, and you must believe them, it brings great luck and incredible luck in financial matters.

Reference! The width of the pot should be slightly larger than the diameter of the plant’s crown, since it will not be able to grow in a cramped container. Very spacious pots are also undesirable: they slow down the growth of the fat plant.

A structural feature of Crassula is a weak superficial root system and a dense, powerful crown. Under its weight, the plant may overturn. To avoid this, the pot must be stable.

The archaic Chinese teaching will share with you a piece of its thousand-year experience in mobilizing wealth, tell you secrets about how to plant correctly and where it is better to place a tree to attract material well-being.

Folk signs claim that Crassula is called the money tree because of its coin-shaped leaves. In fact, the secret lies in their unique energy. They instantly absorb all the most useful material, scrupulously preserving them in the leaves. They pass on the gift of accumulating everything valuable to their owner (if he sincerely cares about his pet).

But simply placing a purchased plant on a window is not suitable. In order for the luck of the money tree to be revealed to the owner, it is necessary to learn more about Crassula.

How to plant a money tree according to Feng Shui so that it attracts wealth:

How to plant a living talisman

Feng Shui recommends not buying a ready-made plant (it cannot be bought for money at all). It is necessary for the money tree to absorb your energy so that it feels the sincere care of the owner. According to the rules of Feng Shui, you need to plant the Crassula yourself!
Before planting, you need to talk to the tree and ask for protection and welfare, and also promise that you will always take care of it, and in the future you should always talk to the tree.

• Break off a leaf or stalk from an adult tree (it would be ideal if you do this secretly, without asking permission).
• It is believed that a gifted money tree will not bring good luck to either its new owner or the donor.
• Before planting the cuttings of a money talisman in the ground, keep the cutting in a glass of water for several days (so that it takes root).
• Have a pot ready in advance. It should be wide and shallow. According to Feng Shui rules, the color of money is the suit of metal and earth. The whole range of brown and black. Red or burgundy. Silver or gold.
• It must be planted (like all plants) on the waxing moon. Transplant day is Wednesday.

Important tip:
Before planting, activate the pot. At the bottom of the flowerpot, place several coins of the same denomination with the coat of arms facing up. It is best to use money from the country in which you live. It is advisable to have six or eight of them (to awaken the magic of numbers).

When stacking coins it is useful to say: “Coin to coin, sheet to sheet” and then read on them money conspiracy: “You grow, and I bloom in wealth. This is my will. Let it be so!"

• To plant a plant, buy soil in advance (regular soil for cacti). But it’s better to make it yourself (mix coarse sand, peat, turf, leaf soil in the proportion 1x0.5x1x1).
• Transplant into a larger pot if necessary. Not worth it small plant, which has just taken root, plant in big pot, let it grow in a small one, then transplant it into a larger pot, so the money tree grows for several years.

I cast a spell on the Money Tree:

Where to put a tree according to Feng Shui rules

The effectiveness of the Feng Shui money tree largely depends on its correct location in the apartment.
The south-eastern side of the apartment is responsible for the growth of financial well-being - the wealth sector according to Feng Shui - this is where you should place your money tree. You can determine it using regular compass. The starting point can be taken front door, or you can use the traditional compass determination of the cardinal directions. Use the method that is more pleasant and convenient for you. Also, do not forget that when defining zones in an apartment or plot, you should stick to one method you choose.

Chinese teaching allows you to divide into sectors not only the entire house as a whole, but also separate rooms. You can identify the area of ​​financial well-being in any suitable room.

South-eastern area of ​​the apartment or central room — perfect place for the habitat of the money tree.

We create a wealth sector

First of all, free this area from unnecessary things - the energy of finance needs to circulate freely, without obstacles.

Decorate the place where the Crassula will stand in green, purple or blue-blue tones.

• Tree. We need a tree in this sector. You can put wooden furniture, stand or table on which the talisman will be located.
• Water. According to Feng Shui, water (or its images) contributes well to the revitalization of the financial zone. You can put a small home fountain there (water flow will help increase financial flow) or an aquarium with cute goldfish. Have you decided to limit yourself to paintings with water? Know that water images should not be aggressive (typhoons, floods, powerful waterfalls will simply “wash away” future money).
• Wind. It is necessary for the tree of wealth to feel the movement of air and strengthen its own flows. It is best to hang a “wind chime” in that area. Please note that there are no metal objects it shouldn’t be there (in the design of the musical-air talisman either).

It would be ideal to place the pot on a red napkin with a Feng Shui hieroglyph of wealth.
To turn your Crassula into a real symbol of good luck and prosperity, decorate its branches with red ribbons and coins, and then it will become a real money talisman your family.
The fat plant does not tolerate dust - wipe its leaves and the entire money sector more often.

The fat woman is known to almost every person. At one time it was even fashionable to keep him at home, so to speak, to exaggerate his wealth. But for most, this plant did not stay at home for long. The thing is that the flower always reacted the same way to any maintenance error - it dropped its leaves. Yes, there is such a feature behind it. And it’s not at all a lack of cash flow, as some people think.

How to properly care for a money tree? In principle, it does not require any exorbitant conditions. Now let's look at everything in order.

Where to get fatty

It is generally accepted that the largest cash flows are attracted to the house only by a stolen plant. This “scientific” fact belongs to the category of superstitions. And it only works for those people who are inclined to believe in it. Just like the fact that a stolen plant grows better.

You might think that if you secretly tear off a leaf somewhere and stick it in the sand, then in two days you will get a whole tree. Nonsense. A flower will grow well only when it is properly cared for. Where the leaf or shoot was taken is no longer so important.

Crassula can be bought, begged for as a gift, or stolen. The main thing is to love her and create the right conditions.

Which pot should I plant it in?

The best materials are clay, ceramics or terracotta. This way, less moisture will evaporate during drought, and if you water excessively, the excess will be absorbed into the walls. Of course, only partially, but sometimes this is enough to prevent the plant from starting to rot.

Where to put the fat plant

There is an opinion that the money tree should be dragged across the windows. They say, in winter on one, in summer - on something completely different. It’s better not to touch the fat plant again, otherwise it will give you a rain of leaves. Then she will stand there bald. Choose one for her permanent place. It must have certain light and temperature conditions.

The money tree loves light, but can grow well in partial shade. The main condition is that there should be direct lighting only half the day. Better after lunch and until evening. The other half of the day the lighting should be diffused. If you don’t have such a window, then place it on any windowsill. And regulate the light using improvised means - curtains, cardboards. Just don't cover the money tree completely. Just keep it out of direct sunlight.

If a reddish border begins to appear on the leaves, then increase the duration of direct lighting little by little. But first you need to know if this is a feature of your plant variety? Now there are a lot of variegated forms.

Temperature. Despite the fact that the plant comes from Africa, it does not really like high temperatures. At +25°C the leaves begin to wither and wrinkle. At +5°C, rot and disease begin to attack the money tree.

The most optimal temperature for keeping Crassula ranges from +15 to +20°C. Just don't make any drastic changes. If one mode is selected, then let it remain. It must be changed gradually, otherwise the leaves will fall again.

And yet, even though it is a tree, its external strength is deceptive. Breaking off an entire branch with careless movement is as easy as shelling pears. So be careful.

Advice. If the heat sets in and it is not possible to move the pot to a cooler room, then place additional containers of water nearby and spray the flower more often. This will make it easier for him to bear high temperature air.

What soil to plant in

The money tree does not need a super-extraordinary soil mixture. Store-bought ones are perfect for her, for example, for succulents or cacti. Or you can assemble it yourself. For this they take garden soil, clean sand, peat and humus. There are no special proportions; by eye it turns out to be approximately only 1 part. You can add a small handful of small stones, this will allow the soil to remain loose. In addition, the root system of the Crassula will entwine these pebbles. This will allow it to hold tighter in a shallow pot when it becomes a real tree.

The plant requires drainage. These could be coals from hardwood trees, small brick chips, gravel. Just don't use eggshells, as some sources advise. It will be compressed and will be of no use. And the fat woman does not need excess calcium.

When to water Crassula

The fleshy leaves of the money tree are able to accumulate water and retain it. But this does not mean that the plant does not like to drink. Still not a cactus.

Watering the Crassula clean water room temperature. It is advisable to let it sit for at least a day. If the water is spring or well, then there is no such need.

How many times should I water? There is no precise recommendations, it all depends on the conditions of detention and the microclimate in the room. But the earthen clod cannot be allowed to dry out. It is better to add liquid little by little as soon as it dries out. upper layer soil at a depth of 2 cm.

At the same time, excessive watering should be avoided. This can cause root rot.

What to feed

A money tree can easily exist without additional feeding. But then, what use is it to you if you don’t want to take care of it? Over time, the soil in the pot will still be depleted and the plant will gradually wither away. Or it will freeze in growth.

In order for the fat woman to please you with a lush crown and attract prosperity, you also need to give her something in return. For example, any fertilizer for succulents or cacti. They feed the plant from March to October. It will be enough once a month, on the second day after the next watering.

In winter, limit watering and do not feed the money tree at all.

Advice. If you couldn’t find a specialized fertilizer, then feel free to take any multi-component mineral water for indoor plants. Just carefully read the dosage on the package and divide it by two. The fat woman will be happy with such care.

The formation of the money tree depends on what final result you need. General rules are:

• Use a sharp sterile blade or knife to cut off the top of the shoot, leaving the stalk
• sprinkle the cut with crushed activated carbon tablet
• There should be at least 3 leaves left on the shoot

These principles apply to both methods of plant formation. Specific methods are described below.

Bush. To do this, pinching the shoots begins at the very early age. Cut off the crown of the central stem at the level of 4 leaves. Soon, stepsons will begin to appear from the lateral axils of the leaves. They are also pinched, leaving 4 leaves. Later, after the final formation the right size bush, just periodically inspect the money tree and remove excess shoots.

Tree. To get a plant exactly in the form of a tree, you first need to let the central stem grow to the desired height. Usually this is from 20 to 35 cm. And only then begin shaping. Cut off the top of the head. Then, first, two lateral shoots will grow from the axils of the upper leaves. They are pinched over the 6th leaf. Further formation takes place continuously throughout the life of the money tree. Each branch is cut above 6 or 7 leaves.

However, you may not get a tree if you have a hanging variety of Crassula. In this case, it is better to form it just like a hanging plant. Hang the pots and let the shoots grow downwards calmly. With proper care it looks quite impressive. In addition, a hanging money tree is a rarity in our homes.

Advice. Do not throw away the cut leaves. You can try to root them. If you do not need a new plant, then use them for cosmetic or medicinal purposes. The value of Crassula is akin to beneficial properties aloe.

How often to replant

Replanting a money tree often means simply replacing the soil with a new one. This should be done no more than once every 3 years. Because the plant does not like to be touched at all. It is necessary to increase the size of the pot only when it becomes obvious that it is too crowded. Characteristic features are growth cessation and strong protrusion of roots above the soil surface.

It is advisable not to touch the roots themselves during transplantation. The only exception is the onset of rot. In this case, you will have to cut off all the damage to healthy tissue, then sprinkle it with crushed coal, chalk, or cauterize it with ordinary medical brilliant green.

The only disease that threatens the fat woman is rot. It occurs spontaneously under too cool conditions and excessive watering. Eliminate these factors, and the plant will be powerful and healthy.

If you do overwater the fat plant, then either urgently replace the soil in the pot, which is not advisable to do often. Or place a thick pack under the pot in the area of ​​the drainage holes paper napkins or kitchen towels. Excess liquid will be absorbed and the money tree will be saved.

Did you miss it and rot appeared? Help the fat girl urgently! Trim the affected areas to healthy tissue, rinse with a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate and sprinkle with activated carbon.

At large area lesions will have to cut off healthy cuttings and grow the money tree again. Such a plant cannot be saved.

Pests. In the Russian microflora there are no individual insects that are attracted by the dense, leathery leaves of the plant. But when kept in summer open ground Crassula can be favored by aphids. There are two options here:

1. Spray the plant with any systemic insecticide strictly according to the instructions.
2. Remove aphids by hand by carefully washing the stems and leaves with a warm solution of potash or laundry soap.

Is it possible to plant in open ground?

Do not forget to provide good drainage in the planting hole, because after heavy rain, excess moisture should go away.

Care outside is absolutely the same as at home. Just be sure to bring the plant into the room before the cold weather sets in. And check for pests.

1. Once a month, carefully wipe the leaves of the money tree to remove dust. It loves it very much. You can wash them gently under a gentle stream of warm shower. Just be sure to cover the soil in the pot with thick polyethylene or wrap cling film. Excess water may damage roots.
2. To prevent the money tree from toppling over under the weight of its own crown, choose a pot with a wide, stable bottom. Heavy pebbles or glass balls, just make sure they don’t touch the barrel.
3. Be sure to disinfect the soil before planting or replanting. Purchased or homemade- doesn't matter. But freezing in the freezer with further calcination in the oven will save you from many problems in the future. Additionally, you can spill the soil with a very hot solution of potassium permanganate. Only after this you can plant the money tree no earlier than three days later, otherwise you can burn the roots.

How to care for a money tree? As you can see, it's not that difficult. The most ordinary conditions, simple watering and a little fertilizer. But there are so many benefits! Both aesthetically - it’s still a tree, and practically - well-being will increase. Love your flowers, they will thank you for it!

It’s rare to find a home that doesn’t have a money tree growing in it. This is exactly the additional name the fat woman received because of the mystical features by which it supposedly does financial position its owner is the best, attracts cash flows to the house. It is believed that for this the tree should be planted correctly and carefully looked after. The welfare of the owners will depend on its development.

How to plant a plant

Before getting a Crassula, everyone wonders how to plant it correctly. For this purpose you need a shoot. The plant has good property- fast rooting. Therefore, if they are afraid that the twig will not be accepted, it is not worth it, especially if you keep it in a glass of water for a couple of days before planting.

Only one shoot should be planted in a container, otherwise you will end up with thickets that will have thin branches hanging down.

In order for your money tree to grow, the formation of its crown is important. In the planted shoot, after the appearance of the fourth pair of leaves, the next bud appears at the end. It should be removed. After a while, two or three buds will appear in its place. Thus, the bush will begin to branch. If this moment is missed and the branch has grown too long, then in this case it simply needs to be cut off with a knife. The leaves on the trunk below do not need to be touched; they will fall off on their own as the plant grows.

When choosing a pot, you need to understand that the plant grows very quickly, so it must be initially large in size. The flower has a voluminous crown, which does not always coincide with the root system; it is less developed. Because of this, there is a possibility that it may tip over. Based on this, everyone has a question about what kind of pot a money tree should have.

Choosing the right pot

You should choose a deep container for the plant. It should also be wide enough, since the flower develops quickly. You can, of course, use a container small size and, as the money tree matures, replant it once a year into a larger one. But there is one “but”: the flower does not like frequent replanting. In addition, this is a very labor-intensive task that requires the dexterity necessary to replant a large plant. Therefore, based on the above, we must conclude that it is still better to plant the Crassula initially in a large pot.

Before planting the shoot, place it in a container drainage layer from expanded clay or other small stones. The larger the pot, the larger the drainage layer should be. Soil is laid out on it, which includes a large number of sand, as well as baking powder such as vermiculite or perlite. To do this, you can also purchase soil for cacti in specialized stores and plant the shoot in it. The main thing is that the money tree is not located in dense soil, which retains moisture; it does not tolerate this well.

Features of plant care

Crassula is a flower that does not require a special approach. It is not difficult to care for her. But its flowering and proper development depend on what care you offer it.

The plant does not like abundant watering, it may die from this. It is better to underfill it than vice versa. The flower tolerates drought well. In summer, it is enough to water it once a week, and in winter, watering is removed completely if it is kept in a cool room. If you water a money tree in winter period, then you can cause the roots to rot. Water for irrigation should settle well.

Sunlight is pleasant to the Crassula, but straight Sun rays may burn the leaves. To avoid this, the pot should be slightly shaded, but do not overdo it to avoid stretching the stems. Best temperature in winter it will be 8-12 degrees for the plant. In summer, the temperature ranges from 19 to 25 degrees.

Like all ornamental plants, money tree loves mineral fertilizing. It is held once every twenty days from spring to autumn. For this purpose, fertilizer for cacti and succulents is used. In winter, the flower is not fertilized; it is in a dormant period.

In summer, the fat woman likes to be on outdoors. Residents of apartments can take it out onto the balcony, and owners of their houses can find a place for it on personal plot. But do not place it in direct sunlight.

Subtleties of content

When the plant's stems are pulled upward, the tops are plucked. This is necessary so that additional branches go to the sides, and the bush becomes lush and the trunk thick. This procedure is carried out using sharp knife, you can also use scissors. Sections are processed charcoal, and the branches removed during pruning are used to propagate the flower.

If you notice that the branches and leaves are becoming small, then the reason may lie in the root system. This occurs when the root grows strongly downward. In this case, the money tree needs to be transplanted and shortened. As a result, additional lateral roots will begin to form.

In order to see abundant flowering, it is worth keeping the plant in a well-lit place, replanting it on time, preferably in March, and keeping it at low temperatures in winter.

The flower must be constantly rotated in relation to the lighting. This is done in order to avoid one-sidedness. The leaves must be washed constantly, as a lot of dust collects on them.

Reddening of the plant's leaves may indicate stress that it is experiencing as a result of strong light.

Shedding of leaves occurs due to malnutrition bush.

Diseases and pests

This flower is practically not susceptible to disease. The problem can only arise due to overwatering. If rotting of the roots occurs, then it is worth replanting the plant, first removing the missing roots.

Pests that can attack the plant include scale insects, spider mite and mealybug. In order to get rid of them, the money tree is treated by special means. Medicines are purchased in specialized stores. If necessary, the plant is replanted.
