A silent killer. Is it worth keeping a money tree at home?

Home — Botany — Indoor plants — Growing the Money Tree flower — carefully caring for it, demonstrating prosperity on the windowsill

The money tree flower is a well-known succulent, unpretentious and quite pretty. It is also valued among indoor flower growers because it symbolizes the financial success of the owners (if it grows well and produces large leaves). Those who believe in this simply must know the main nuances of caring for a plant - after all, well-being directly depends on it! But seriously, Crassula (crassula) survives any conditions quite well - but you can’t completely abandon it either.

The tree-like Crassula is the very “money tree”.

Magical properties of the flower

It is believed that Crassula, as the Crassula is also called, is capable of opening money channels. To do this, the plant needs good care so that its leaves are large and thick. Then, in gratitude, the money tree will bring prosperity to its owners, improve financial flows, and harmonize the surrounding space.

If a person does not bother with care, the leaves of the succulent become smaller and the tree withers. Then the owner will face ruin and other troubles.

Why is the Crassula called the money tree?

In the east, a houseplant is considered a symbol of financial stability. It was named the money tree for its characteristic leaf shape, reminiscent of coins. The tree is a succulent. It is capable of accumulating moisture. Therefore, it can survive a long drought without consequences.

The plant propagates easily. A small shoot or leaf easily takes root even in unfavorable conditions. This ability is also a symbol of enrichment. From a small capital with little effort a solid fortune grows.

Crassula Minor

Crassulaminor is a synthetically created variety that is a variety of Crassula ovale. The leaves of the plant are small, only 1.5 cm long and 1 cm wide with an elongated shape. The coloring is unusual: the middle of the leaf is rich green, and the edges are red. Depending on the lighting in the room, the plant changes color.

Oval Crassula

Crassulaovata is a money tree with branches covered with many fleshy leaves. The leaves are oval-shaped, light green in color. In the sun they acquire a red edging.

Tree Crassula

This is the most common type of decorative tree. Its height can reach 3 meters. The leaves of the plant resemble coins. They are shiny, hard, round. They have a solid structure. Most often, the leaves are green with a hint of gray. They grow up to 8 cm in length and 6 cm in width.

When should you not keep a money tree at home?

Crassula not only has a beautiful leaf shape, but it is also believed to be able to bring wealth and prosperity to the home. She is easy to care for, which also increases her attractiveness.

However, in some cases, the fat woman cannot be kept at home.

There are two reasons why you should not keep the fat plant indoors:

Biological
Noticeable.

In the case of the biological aspect, the problem is the presence of arsenic in the leaves.

Arsenic is a chemical element on the periodic table. In small doses it is used to treat diseases associated with anemia. But in large doses it is a powerful poison, causing weakness, baldness, increased heart rate, and, if immediate first aid is not provided, death.

This plant is dangerous only when transplanted. You need to be careful not to get poisonous juice on your skin. If there are scratches or fresh wounds, the juice is nourished, and the juice, as written above, contains arsenic.

Particularly sensitive people and allergy sufferers may experience discomfort for a long time - headache, nausea, irritation. The condition recovers over a long period of time.

You can place the flower in a place inaccessible to children and animals, in which case it will not cause harm.

According to Feng Shui, if a plant grows too luxuriantly, then there will be negative energy in the house - the residents will become passive, apathetic, and pessimistic.
If the plant blooms, and this happens very rarely, the family may fall apart due to the man leaving.
Also, according to the sign, improper care and life will turn into a nightmare.
If the plant suddenly dies, then poverty will come to the family. There won't be enough money even for food.

So, the fat plant should not be kept in a house with small children or pets that might chew the leaves. Or you should put the money tree in an inaccessible place.

The second reason is noticeable. It is due to the fact that the death of a fat woman in the house is a warning about a future financial crisis in the family.

ON A NOTE. In addition, it is believed that the fat woman carries the feminine energy “Yin”. An excess of this energy can lead to worsening mood and laziness among residents. This problem is solved by planting a male plant (for example, anthurium) indoors.

Dangerous diseases and pests

The most common problems when growing a money tree are leaves falling or the trunk rotting . Both are caused by improper care - rot occurs due to overwatering (especially in the cold season). It is very difficult to eliminate it - in most cases, only separating viable cuttings and growing a new plant from them will help. But you can try cutting off the rotten parts and planting the plant in a new container with clean soil.

A very original view - Buddha, or also called the Buddha Temple.

Leaves fall off if the plant is in uncomfortable conditions for a long time - this is how it tries to urgently reproduce. The reason for this may be too high a temperature in winter or excessive feeding. This problem is solved by eliminating the traumatic factor - lowering the temperature or transplanting.

Arborestsens is covered with small dots and has a pink edge.

If disease can be prevented by providing proper care, then pests will have to be fought . Mealybugs, aphids and scale insects rarely settle on Crassula, but it is still possible. Insects can be removed mechanically - under a warm shower. You can also use a rag dampened with alcohol. And if the degree of infection is serious, then insecticides cannot be avoided.

This fungal infection of a leaf strongly resembles a mechanical effect.

The money tree is a great resident for any apartment. There is even an opinion that it “gets attached” to its owner and good growth signals the well-being of the house . Try growing Crassula, especially since there are no difficulties with it.

Corymbulosa has almost triangular leaves.

Signs and superstitions associated with the Crassula

The first reason why a money tree is planted at home is the desire to improve one’s own material well-being.

It is believed that having a Crassula at home brings wealth. In addition, it symbolizes financial stability.

At the same time, a wasting or dead fat woman is a warning about future failures in the financial field. Because of this, a flower cannot be planted if the gardener is not sure that he can provide it with proper care.

It is also recommended to keep the fat woman away from scandals in the family - it is believed that due to an unfavorable atmosphere, the negative effects of the money tree intensify, and the positive ones, on the contrary, weaken.

Signs for good luck:

If other plants need enough watering and fertilizing, caring for the fat plant is a little different. The plant is a succulent and will tolerate a lack of moisture, but without communication it will dry out and wither. Choose an energetically active day of the week, that is, Wednesday, to tell the tree about upcoming financial plans and ask for support in business;
They don’t just wipe the leaves, but also count them during the procedure. The saying here is that money likes counting;
To attract money, Crassula is planted in a red pot. If the container is ordinary, then it is tied with a scarlet ribbon or painted with red lines, symbolizing cash flow;
Do not place a money tree near electrical appliances that interfere with the free circulation of financial energy;
A dusty plant will not bring prosperity, so they try to periodically remove dirt from the leaves;
The flowerpot is placed on a windowsill facing south or southeast. Thick leaves are susceptible to burns, so Crassula is shaded from the sun's rays;
After receiving financial profit, they select several coins, which are placed in a heap near a flowerpot with a fat plant. Coins are considered a powerful money magnet and enhance the influence of the plant.

How to care for money tree (crassula) at home

Agree, it would be great to go up to your tree on the windowsill in the morning, place a mug, shake it and collect a harvest of hard coins. All this relates to the money tree very metaphorically: its shiny, fleshy leaves simply look like coins. However, feng shui admirers seriously endow it with the “talent” of improving the material condition of the owners.

Whether to believe in it or not is a question only of our perception, but a tree can definitely improve the air in the room and the mood of households, decorating the interior.

Another popular belief is not to buy an adult tree, but to purchase a shoot from friends and grow it yourself. Even without following these tips, growing a tree at home, even a small one, is a very pleasant and uncomplicated task. In this article we will look at the experience of owners of spreading, healthy money trees and invite you to their club!

To “harvest” joy, you need to know that we are dealing with succulents - completely unpretentious, persistent and moisture-accumulating plants. They adapt well and feel good in Russian apartments and houses.

So there are few important rules:

Wipe leaves from dust;
Do not overwater the plant in company with other plants that need more moisture;
Plant in a heavy and wide pot, since the fat plant does not have a very strong root system;
Water not with ice, but with settled water at room temperature a couple of times a week, and in winter - even less often;
Periodically remove side branches if you want to form a beautiful crown;
Feed the soil in spring and summer.

By the way, the tree has other names. When you hear about “crassula” or “crassula”, do not doubt: this is the same thing. "Crassus" is Latin for thick, which obviously alludes to the thickness of the leaves.

By the way, Crassula ovata or Crassula ovata is most often called the money tree. This plant is most popular all over the world and is most often grown at home.

Lighting

Almost all Crassulaceae species are native to the southern hemisphere, so they will be very happy to “remember” how to live with very abundant sunlight and not very abundant watering.

Feel free to place the money tree on the sunny side. The plant gets sunburn less often than others, but the fat plant doesn’t need the open scorching sun either. Ideal - south and south-east window.

Temperature

Almost never, the owners of a money tree have encountered vagaries due to temperature changes: the plant feels great at both 5 and 20 degrees. The microclimate conditions of the room to which you are accustomed will also suit the tree.

Important: Crassula has a dormant period. Like other plants, it is autumn-winter. During “sleep”, it is recommended to lower the temperature slightly and not to artificially overheat the wintering plant: do not place the pot close to the radiator or radiator.

Watering the money tree

Great news for those who always forget to water their flowers and plants: the money tree is not a big fan of moisture.

In the spring and summer, we visit the plant with a watering can 1-2 times a week, focusing on the drying out of the top layer of soil;
In autumn and winter, one watering per month is sufficient.

Money trees don't like spraying as much as deciduous plants. Instead, it is better to wipe the leaves: due to their density and shape, a lot of dust can accumulate on them.

Top dressing

The money tree loves fertilizing, and if you introduce it into the diet regularly, over time it can even reward you with flowering for your efforts. How to do it correctly:

Choosing fertilizers for cacti and succulents.

We apply fertilizers from early spring to early autumn. During the cold period, fertilizing interferes with the plant’s “rest”;
If you want to enrich the soil with specific elements yourself, then it is ideal to choose calcium, potassium and phosphorus.

Transfer

Periodically, the plant needs to change its living conditions: once every couple of years as planned or in case of disease and decay.

When to replant a money tree:

Every 2-3 years in the spring, an adult plant is transplanted into fresh soil;
A few weeks after purchase, if the tree was sold in a small plastic pot;
If you overdo it with watering, and the roots of the plant begin to rot.

Prepare a suitable pot: let it be wide and not too high.
We choose soil for cacti, succulents or palm trees (if you have universal soil, you can dilute it with sand and small drainage stones).
Do not spare expanded clay for the bottom of the pot (at least 2 cm).
Water the tree and turn it over, removing it from the pot (wet soil will separate well).
If the plant is healthy, you can leave an earthen lump at the roots and transfer it to a new pot, sprinkled with fresh soil.
If there were problems with the roots, carefully examine them, remove the rotten ones and dry the remaining ones.
We place the tree evenly by the trunk, without damaging the leaves.
We install a new pot in the chosen place according to all the wishes of your money tree (they are described above in the article).

Planting and propagation

Rooting cuttings in water

A simple and unsophisticated method that gives good results, since the root system will already be developed. Important: sometimes with this method the roots can rot, so be careful.

A healthy shoot is cut off from an adult tree, dried a little and placed in water (make sure that the leaves do not touch the water).
We wait 2-3 weeks for the roots to appear, changing the water once a week.
Take a pot of suitable size.
Add enough drainage stones.
Fill the pots with soil (a ready-made soil mixture for cacti and succulents is ideal). This seemingly poor and dry soil mixed with pebbles and sand is a familiar and comfortable environment for succulents.
We install the cutting, dig it in and evenly add soil to the desired level (do not bury it).
Water and place in the prepared place.
In the following days, do not overwater the soil; let it remain slightly dry.
We wish our little sprout good luck!

Rooting cuttings in soil

A money tree shoot rooted in the ground immediately remains in its house, without the need for additional planting, which is extremely convenient. We proceed like this:

We cut a sprout 10-15 cm long from an adult tree.
Prepare the pot by filling it with drainage and soil.
We place the process so that it does not fall over.
Sprinkle with soil evenly.
Water (in this case, you can also use a special solution to form roots).
Place the planted cuttings in a bright and warm place.
We are waiting for new leaves to appear (this is a signal that the roots have successfully begun to grow).

What to do to make the fat woman attract money and wealth

In order for a flower to have a positive effect on its owners, it is necessary to keep it in a healthy condition and care for it in a timely manner.

In order for a money tree to truly bring wealth, a number of rules must be followed.

Firstly, planting must be done through cuttings or sprouts. An already mature tree will not work. You can also use seeds, but growing crassula from seeds is a long and labor-intensive process.

IMPORTANT! Before you start planting, the cuttings should be rooted. To do this, place it in a jar of water and wait until roots begin to form. To speed up the process, root formation stimulants, for example, Kornevin, are added to the vessel.

Secondly, planting should be done during the waxing moon phase.

Thirdly, in order for the money tree to remain healthy, you need to plant the cuttings in several stages:

At the bottom you need to put several coins, preferably the largest denomination;
Drainage is placed in the pot, soil is filled to 2/3 of the volume of the container;
The seedling is placed and compacted;
The remaining amount of earth is added;
Watering is done only when the soil is dry and there are drainage holes. Under no circumstances should you overfill the fat woman.

Separately, it is necessary to say about the conditions under which the money tree will actually bring wealth.

Lighting should be natural, as the fat plant responds well to sunny color. It is also recommended to periodically turn the flower pot in different parts towards the sun so that the crown develops evenly.

IMPORTANT! Direct sunlight has a negative effect on some types of Crassula (the leaves lose their usual color and become darker). To avoid this, you need to install curtains or blinds on the window next to which the pot is placed.

The temperature should not exceed 28 degrees, so in the summer the fat plant can be taken out to the balcony.

It is recommended to transplant the money tree into a new pot once a year, then, as it grows older, the interval between transplants can be increased.

When replanting, all defects in the root system will be removed. If none were found, the money tree can be transplanted directly from the ground. If defects are still found, then such roots are cut off and the cut areas are sprinkled with activated carbon. In order for the cuts to heal faster, the tree is exposed to fresh air for several hours.

Why do you dream about a fat woman?

Dreams about succulents are considered a good omen. They foretell profit, receiving gifts, useful acquaintances. Details of the prediction can be found in the details of the dream.

Aichrizon - crown formation, pruning and proper transplantation

Aichrizon - the tree of love - is grown by flower growers in two ways, in the form of a standard tree or as a bush, and in order to properly form the crown of this plant, it is necessary to carry out regular pruning of the bush, pinch out young branches and remove diseased weak shoots, and this procedure should be carried out in the active phase of the plant.

Aichrizon flowering - in the photo

Young animals should be replanted every year as soon as the plant leaves the dormant stage;
It is not recommended to disturb mature bushes more than once every 3 years. The main reason for this will be the root system that has grown greatly in the pot. In other cases, you should limit yourself to annual renewal of the top layer of soil in the pot;
It is better to schedule a transplant in the second half of March or April;
It is better to choose soil for filling pots in a specialized store, as it contains all the necessary nutrients in balance. Be sure to take time to organize the drainage layer;
The transplanted aichrizone should be watered 4 days after transplantation.

Signs about the Crassula

The money tree is a houseplant associated with a lot of signs and superstitions. They can be divided into several parts, each of which is associated with a certain stage of its development.

Why does it bloom

Crassula flowering is a rare occurrence. You need to try very hard, show miracles of care in order to see the cherished flowers.

The signs associated with the appearance of flowers on the money tree are the most impressive:

During this period comes the best moment for enrichment. You can safely take on matters related to finances - everything will be as successful as possible.
During flowering, according to signs, wishes come true. It is better to make wishes that are connected in one way or another with an increase in material wealth. The probability of execution is very high.

The branches have dropped

If a previously healthy pet suddenly dropped its branches and the leaves began to fall off, you should seriously think about the energy in the house. Crassula usually cleanses the energy in the room and absorbs all negativity.

If it droops, it means that the negative energy in the room is so strong that the flower can no longer cope with it. You need to move the tree to another room and try to reduce the number of conflicts and scandals between household members.

It crumbled

Fallen leaves are a bad omen, which serves as a sign of imminent material losses, a decrease in income, and profit. Some even count fallen leaves: their number corresponds to the percentage drop in family income.

Why does Crassula fall?

There are a number of signs regarding the fall of the money tree:

The plant did not fall, but tilted its trunk, as if preparing to fall - the sign tells you to prepare for financial difficulties.
Fell along with the pot - financial wealth will only increase.
If it fell and the pot broke, the family will envy the material wealth.
Fell and broke when falling - to financial ruin.

What to do if one branch breaks

A home flower may not break completely: there are often cases when it loses one or two branches. There is nothing wrong with this, and the signs do not imply any negative signs in this regard.

In principle, it is useful to prune a money tree from time to time so that a beautiful, even crown is formed. This will help the tree get rid of the burden of unnecessary branches.

Is it possible to give, give away, sell or throw away a money tree?

The decision to throw away the money tree without harming the financial situation of the family should be made only when the fat plant has become too old and has stopped blooming.

At the same time, you should not throw the flower in the trash; to maintain the balance of energy, it is better to bury the dying tree in the ground and give it to another person. If the trash bin is the only way out, then it is first recommended to cut off the young stem and plant a new money tree.

One of the common questions is whether it is possible to give Crassula as a gift or throw it away, and whether financial well-being will leave the house with it. There are a number of signs on this matter.

There is one case when giving a money tree is not only possible, but also necessary. This would be an ideal wedding gift for newlyweds. You can attach large bills to the plant and decorate it with a red ribbon. A sign with such a gift design promises the spouses a comfortable existence.

But giving or giving someone your own fatty is a bad omen. The financial situation will change for the worse not only for the giver, but also for the one who accepts such a gift.

A bad omen can be neutralized if you pay a symbolic amount for a gift. Then the gift turns into a purchase.

As for whether it is possible to throw away a money tree, the sign clearly says: this should not be done. Such an act will bring financial problems to the family. If the flower is no longer needed, you can simply put it in the entrance.

When you are about to throw out an old plant, you can pinch off a sprout from it and plant it again. In this case, even though the Crassula went to the landfill, its shoot remains in the house, having absorbed the energy of the large plant.

Flower - “tree of life”

The tree of life in India is called plumeria. It symbolizes immortality, since new flowers appear even after the trunk dies. In Laos, this sacred tree is planted outside every Buddhist temple. Plumeria flowers have a very beautiful subtle aroma, with notes of jasmine and caramel.

Is it possible to give a fat woman as a gift?

You can give a money tree to another person, but you need to think carefully about who. It can only be given to the person who will really look after and care for her, then the flower will continue to have its effect.

If another person’s flower withers, then financial difficulties may befall both the person to whom it was given and those who gave it.

You cannot give diseased specimens as a gift, or give away a fat one just like that - it is better to take a symbolic coin for it, so that there is no risk of going bankrupt.

It is best to give a money tree for a wedding or birthday. But there are no contraindications that the fat woman should not be given as a gift on any day.

Also, you cannot give it to a person who does not believe in its properties. Then the fat woman may be offended by both the old and new owners. There is no need to talk about any positive impact.

Rules for transplanting Crassula

How to properly transplant a fat plant:

put in drainage;
fill the pot with soil;
make a hole approximately 3 cm deep;
plant a seedling.

Requirements for soil and pot

If we talk about soil, it should be porous, slightly acidic, enriched with useful components.

To grow a money tree, caring for which will not take up much of your time and will be a pleasure, the following mixtures are suitable:

substrate from the store for succulents and cacti;
peat and sand in a ratio of 1:1 (used for rooting when propagating by cuttings);
a mixture of leaf and turf soil in equal proportions.

For a seedling, the pot should not be too large or small. The optimal height of the pot is 15 cm, and its diameter should not exceed 10 cm.

Where should a money tree stand to attract wealth?

An important aspect in caring for Crassula is lighting. Therefore, in order for it to bring financial well-being, it should be placed in a bright place. The best option is a window sill on the southwest side of the house.

Also, the place where the money tree grows must be clean and spacious, otherwise the tree may become sick or its crown will be deformed, which will reduce the positive effect of the flower.

It is recommended to plant the fat plant in a red or scarlet pot, which symbolizes prosperity and nobility. Additionally, the tree trunk is tied with a ribbon of the same color.

According to feng shui

According to Chinese teachings, Crassula is an effective money talisman. It can relieve fatigue and fill you with vitality.

It is believed that financial energy accumulates in the leaves. This makes them thicker. To enhance the flow of energy, you need to dig several Chinese coins tied with a red ribbon into the plant pot.

You can place a dragon figurine in the branches. She attracts wealth. An owl figurine would be appropriate nearby for proper management of money. At the base of the succulent you need to place 3 red lanterns to enhance the magical properties.

Medicinal properties

In folk medicine, Crassula is called indoor ginseng or home medicine cabinet.

Its leaf blades contain flavonoids and phytoncides. Even just being in the apartment, the plant purifies the air, destroys pathogenic bacteria, reducing the risk of colds and viral diseases. The plant contains a large number of useful microelements and volatile oils, which allow the use of medicinal properties for a number of diseases.

The leaves contain 99% juice, which helps infected wounds heal faster, reduces pain syndromes, and soothes itching.

Features of caring for a fat woman

Although the fat plant is an unpretentious crop, there are a number of features that must be taken into account:

Crassula tolerates lack of moisture well; watering should be done once every 2-3 weeks;
Rubbing the leaves has a beneficial effect on the health of the money tree;
It is recommended to fertilize regularly. But this should be done only in the warm season (spring - early autumn); in winter it is better to stop. Fertilizers for cacti, as well as calcium- and phosphorus-containing fertilizers, are suitable as fertilizing;
Arranging a support if the tree loses its usual shape.

Methods for propagating a money tree

Cuttings

Reproduction occurs using leaves and stems, which are cut off with a sharp knife. The clothespins are left to dry for a couple of days, and then planted in a container with existing drainage and soil.

Propagation of the money tree by seed

Seeds are sown in a shallow container. Sand is added to the soil before sowing. The container is covered with film or glass. The soil is sprayed daily. When a sprout with 2-3 leaves appears, it is transplanted into a separate pot.

Common mistakes

Even despite the unpretentiousness of the Crassula, inexperienced gardeners can make a number of mistakes that either negatively affect the health of the flower or neutralize the positive effects provided by the Crassula.

Such errors and assumptions include:

Priority of watering schedule over actual soil moisture. Even if enough time has passed according to the calendar, it is still necessary to check the soil before watering. If the soil is still wet, you should postpone watering for another couple of days. The fat plant will survive a lack of moisture, but an excess can destroy it;
Choosing the wrong soil for planting. First of all, you should pay attention to the looseness of the soil so that it is easier for the money tree to gain a foothold in the pot. Nutrition in this case fades into the background. The best option is soil for succulents, which can be purchased at flower shops;
Choosing a light container for planting. When the flower grows to a certain level, it will become quite heavy and may simply topple over. Therefore, it is best to choose a heavier container for planting; the most effective option is clay;
Insufficiently careful inspection during transplantation. Crassula should be replanted once every 2-3 years (if the tree is young, then every year). All damage and defects must be removed to eliminate the risk of disease. Also, replanting a new tree should not be abrupt - it should be given time to adapt to new conditions. A period of 1-2 weeks is quite enough.
Spraying instead of wiping. Spraying the fat plant means excess moisture, which can cause the plant to suffer.

Reproduction

Obtaining new specimens within a species does not require much effort. Reproduction methods include cuttings and sowing seeds.

Seed cultivation

Flat containers with low sides are filled with prepared soil. The recipe is simple: one part of leaf soil is mixed with half of clean sand. The seeds are placed at a depth of half a centimeter.
It is recommended to cover the container with a glass lid or film. This mini greenhouse is placed in a bright, warm (up to 20 degrees plus) place. The soil surface is sprayed and ventilated regularly. Performed once a day.
After a couple of weeks, the first shoots appear. At the stage of three or four leaves, the seedlings are transplanted into the next bowl. Between plantings, a distance of five centimeters is maintained, and lighting is added.
The soil composition changes slightly. An equal amount of sandy part of the turf (light) soil is mixed into the previous filling. No covering is required from this stage. Protect fragile seedlings from direct sunlight.
The final step is the final transplantation of young, strong plants into individual pots with a diameter of no more than 70 millimeters. The bottom is lined with drainage material and filled with a new soil base. The soil is used for succulent species.
The temperature is maintained two degrees lower than at the germination stage. It is necessary to water every day in small portions to moisten the earthen clod, without excess.

Propagation by cuttings

A faster and easier option for getting your own plant. It is held at the beginning of the spring season (March, April). Planting material is selected from crown formation scraps, or the selected shoot is cut off.

A cutting of nine centimeters in length is selected and dried in a shady place for two hours until the next day. Further rooting can be carried out in two directions. Place in boiled water with the addition of activated carbon until the first roots appear.

It is practiced to place the prepared cuttings directly into a substrate for succulents (ready-made or home-made), wet sand, vermiculite (a moisture-containing mineral with a layered structure). Sprouted and strengthened “babies” are placed according to the same rules as grown seedlings. Care is carried out adhering to the above parameters. Young specimens will grow and gain strength earlier than their seed counterparts.

Addition:

There are situations where there is a lack of suitable material for propagation or preservation of dying Aichrizon. It is enough to find a healthy leaf and lightly drown it in prepared moist soil. After some time, the formation of the root system will begin. And from one leaf it is possible to raise a new young succulent.

Answers to frequently asked questions

How do you know if there is too much lighting?

The leaves will begin to darken at the edges. To prevent this from happening, hang curtains or blinds in your home. Also, before purchasing, you should find out all the properties of the variety you are purchasing, then there will be no problems with an excess of light.

I don’t have a red pot, what container should I plant it in?

The tree got sick, but recovered. Have the properties of bringing well-being changed?

Depends on how quickly you restored your pet. If you do it quickly enough, the plant will thank you and continue to bring prosperity and stability. If there is a delay in restoration, then the tree will take offense at you and will stop exerting a positive influence on its owners.
