I. Introduction
In the fields of my hometown, there is a magical tree, which is called the "money tree", not only because its leaves take on a shape similar to a coin, but also because it is believed to have the magical effect of attracting fortune and treasure. However, for many people, it is not an easy task to grow a money tree, let alone multiply it? Next, let's unveil this mystery and explore the mystery behind the money tree.
2. Legends
The legend about the money tree has been passed down in the countryside for a long time. It is said that in the old village, there was a kind old man who was proficient in botany and cultivated strange plants with coin-shaped leaves. People call it a money tree and believe that it can bring good luck and wealth. However, since it is not easy to reproduce a money tree, few people are able to own one. Until one day, the old man taught the villagers a miraculous method to multiply and multiply, and since then, the money tree has blossomed all over the village, bringing endless wealth and joy.
III. Scientific Analysis
The money tree, commonly known as "Crassula ovata" by scientific botanists, belongs to the sedum family and is native to South Africa and is a succulent. Its fleshy leaves are shaped like a coin, hence its name. The money tree is highly drought tolerant and adaptable, making it an ideal indoor bonsai plant. It has a variety of propagation methods, including seed propagation, leaf cuttings, stem cuttings, etc. Among them, leaf cuttings are the most common and easy method of propagation.
Fourth, practical exploration
- Preparation
Before cutting money tree leaves, it is necessary to prepare the appropriate environment and materials. Select a healthy money tree as the mother cuttings to ensure that the leaves of the mother plant are intact and free of pests and diseases. Ready cutting containers, small pots or cuttings can be used and filled with well-breathable culture soil or sandy soil. In addition, you need to have water and a watering can, as well as a clear plastic bag or greenhouse cage for moisturizing.
- Cuttings operation
Carefully cut the leaves of the money tree from the mother plant, and try to choose the ones that grow strongly. The leaves are then placed in a ventilated and dry place to allow the incision to dry and scab over. Next, insert the leaves into the culture soil to a depth of about half the length of the leaves and gently pat the soil together. After insertion, water lightly, keeping the culture soil moist but not too wet.
- Conservation management
Place the cuttings container in semi-shade to avoid exposure to the sun and cold. Spray gently with water every day to keep the cuttings moist. After the cuttings have grown new roots and gradually grown stronger, the frequency of watering can be gradually reduced, but a certain humidity still needs to be maintained. At the same time, pay attention to remove wilted or diseased leaves in time to maintain the healthy growth of cuttings.
- Increased success rate
In order to improve the success rate of leaf cuttings, the bottom of the leaves can be dipped in rooting powder or applied with rooting agent before cuttings to promote root growth. In addition, maintaining the right temperature and humidity is key, and greenhouse cages or transparent plastic bags can be used to improve air humidity and insulation.
5. Experience sharing
I have personally tried the method of cutting the leaves of the money tree, and I have achieved good results. In my practice, I have found that choosing leaves that grow vigorously and maintaining a good environment for cuttings are the keys to success. In addition, patience and care are indispensable qualities, and I take great care of each leaf throughout the cuttings process until they take root and grow into a healthy money sapling.
