In a leafy green, the appearance of the fortune tree is always a sight to behold. Its name carries an auspicious meaning, not only decorating the warm corners of countless families, but also conveying people's yearning for a better life. However, did you know that such a seemingly strong green plant has a worrying "soft underbelly" in winter? Let's open the secret door of the survival of the wealth tree, and get a glimpse of its fragility and tenacity. First of all, don't be fooled by its name, the Fortune Tree is especially afraid of the cold in winter. Despite its robust appearance, the Fortune Tree is native to warm tropical regions and is extremely poorly hardy. When the wind blows and the temperature drops below 5°C, the plant shivers like a child in a thin coat in the winter frost. If the temperature drops further, the freezing cold could take its life. Potted fortune trees at home need to be cared for so carefully, while heating indoors in winter, we must avoid too close contact with radiators, air conditioners, etc., otherwise, the heat flow is enough to make its branches and leaves brown. The problem of wet potting soil should not be underestimated. The Fortune Tree is naturally afraid of water, and its root system is fragile and cannot tolerate a humid environment.
In winter, cold air slows down the evaporation of water in the soil, and too much or too much watering can suffocate the roots of the tree, contributing to the tragedy of root rot. Those who once did not know how to water at the right time, which led to the sickness and weakness of the love plant, must have a vivid memory of this pain. When watering, we should adhere to the golden rule of "do not dry and do not water, and water thoroughly" to ensure that the roots of the Fortune Tree are balanced between dry and moderately moist, so that it can survive the cold winter. Do you think that's enough? No, there is also the link of fertilization, which also tests the wisdom of flower friends. Many people wonder why fertilization has become a double-edged sword even though it is intended to make the tree more lush? In fact, the right amount of fertilizer can help it grow, but it is too much. In winter, the fortune tree enters a dormant state, the demand for nutrients is greatly reduced, and random fertilization is likely to cause its root system to burn, and even yellow leaves to fall off. We should add thin liquid fertilizer at the right time during the growing season, and in winter, we should take a wait-and-see attitude. Finally, let's talk about those friends who are in a hurry to change pots. Winter, for the fortune tree, is a quiet and sleeping season.
At this time, if the pot is repotted, it may disturb its calmness, damage the root system, and even affect the growth of the following year. Therefore, for the repotting matter, we still have to wait until the warm spring breeze blows and the new shoots sprout before acting. There are a lot of details and wisdom hidden behind the seemingly simple maintenance, but don't let it hold back. Once you have mastered this knowledge, the Fortune Tree will come to life in your hands. Each of its green leaves will be more lush because of your careful care, and the greenery of each branch will add a unique color to your life. Even in the cold winter, as long as you pay close attention to the "4 fears", the fortune tree can still show its tenacity and vitality in your home. Let's go through the trials of every season and meet the miracle of every growth together with the fortune tree. Let's talk about the green companions that grow silently in the winter – the Fortune Tree. These plants not only bring a vibrant green touch to many homes, but are also endowed with auspicious meanings. However, as with many things in life, we must not act on these vibrant lives by feeling alone, but also by knowledge. Do you know?
In the cold winter, those fortune trees that seem to stand quietly in the corner are actually in a special state - semi-dormant. As we all know, winter is a cold season, and the drop in temperature has put many creatures in nature into an energy-saving mode. The same is true of the Fortune Tree. Their growth slows down or even stops, silently waiting for spring to come. And at this time, if we enthusiastically change it to a bigger "home" – that is, to change pots, it is likely to upset their balance and cause irreparable damage. Imagine being like someone suddenly pulls you out of your warm bed on a cold winter day and makes you adjust to a whole new environment. This sudden change will undoubtedly make people feel uncomfortable and even sick. For the fortune tree, this kind of repotting behavior is a great pressure. Their root systems struggle to grow at low temperatures, and the new soil and environment are a huge challenge for them, often resulting in them not being able to adapt and wilting. But don't worry, you're not powerless. Winter, although not a good time to change pots, is an excellent time for "resting". Retreat, as the name suggests, is to let the fortune tree spend the season quietly and peacefully.
First of all, we need to reduce watering. Not only is too much moisture not absorbed, but it can also lead to root rot. Second, don't fertilize. Because the metabolic activity of the plant has slowed down, too much nutrients can become a burden. Finally, proper lighting is essential. Although fortune trees don't need strong sun exposure, the right amount of light can help them stay alive. Now, let's fast forward to spring, when everything starts to recover and the temperature gradually rises, you will find that those fortune trees that have been resting for a winter seem to have been reborn. At this time, changing the pot and soil becomes a key step to promote their growth. The new soil provides them with abundant nutrients and more space for their roots to stretch. All this is in preparation for their vigorous growth. When the spring breeze blows and the warm sunlight shines into the house, you will see that their leaves are greener and their branches are stronger. Those fortune trees that have been properly cared for in the winter will thank you for your patience and carefulness even more vigorously. They not only beautify your home, but also silently share the wisdom of growth with you - sometimes, waiting and recuperating at the right time is to better welcome the spring of life.
So, the next time you gaze at those fortune trees that stand quietly in the frozen ground, don't forget the life force they contain. Give them the right care and follow the rhythm of the seasons, and you'll find that those quiet winter days are the cornerstone of their future thriving. In this fast-paced world, we often strive for immediate results, but the laws of nature remind us that patience and the right timing are the keys to success. Whether it's the maintenance of the Fortune Tree or any other aspect of your life, remember this simple truth and your world will be a better place for it.
