Abundant watering

If the tree stopped growing, the leaves turned yellow and lost their turgor - this is a distress signal indicating improper care. Or maybe the plant is tired of excessive care?

Important! The foliage turns yellow and falls off, and the tubers rot due to abundant watering. The usual amount of moisture for other crops can destroy the money tree.

The crop tubers in the soil are adapted to store moisture. In dry soil, zamiokulkas feels familiar. But if the earth does not have time to dry out, then the tubers begin to rot.

In summer, the plant should be watered once a week, and in winter only 1-2 times a month. The soil should be dry, but not stony.

Large capacity

A money tree cannot grow in a large container. The ground part does not begin to develop until the root system fills the entire container. Moreover, in a large pot, the likelihood of waterlogging increases.

Zamiokulkas should be planted in a pot 2-3 cm more than the volume of the roots. It is preferable not deep, but wide containers.

Poor lighting

The tree is light-requiring. It can endure the absence of light, but the development of culture slows down, or even stops altogether. It is good to put a green pet on the east or west window. There he will be quite comfortable.

The plant may feel uncomfortable in heavy soil. The natural habitat of this culture is poor soil. Loose earth, which is well permeable to moisture and air, can approach it. A good substrate for succulents.

Incorrect fit

A home tree will not grow due to tubers that are too deep or protruding above the ground. They should be arranged in such a way that they cannot be seen, but can be easily felt by hand.

Taking into account the above facts, it is quite easy to create favorable conditions for the growth and development of zamiokulkas. The pet is very unpretentious and grateful. It will bring comfort, a little exoticism and a good mood to your home.
