How to grow money trees and precautions
1. Breeding methods.
1. Substrate: Hydroponic money tree should use clean, sterilized water, which can prevent the production of fungi and cause plant diseases and other problems.
2. Temperature: It likes a warm environment, and the temperature in summer is relatively high. The plants should be placed in a slightly lower temperature. In winter, the temperature needs to be appropriately raised.
3. Watering: It is intolerant of dryness, so watering should be kept up, two to three times a week is appropriate, to keep the water in the branches and leaves of the plant from being lost. Always keep the surrounding air moist, you can use a spray to spray some water.
4. Light: I like sunlight. If the light is too strong in summer, you can shade the plant at noon. Wait until the light begins to gradually weaken, and then you can expose it to the sun normally.
5. Fertilization: Apply some special nutrient solution for hydroponics, 1-2 times a month.
2. Things to note.
1. The water needs to be changed to the plants every 2-3 days to ensure that the water quality is clean and clear.
2. When breeding, try to place it in a place with a relatively large space, because it has a large plant size. If the space is small and not ventilated, it will seriously hinder its growth.

The seeds are large, irregular ladder-like wedge-shaped, with dark brown epidermis and white whorls, and contain multiple embryos. The flowering period is from May to November, the fruits mature one after another, and the seeds germinate naturally after falling to the ground.
