It is also believed that the plant cleans the air in the house and kills bacteria. Where Krassula grows, there will always be a favorable atmosphere.
Types of money tree
There are many varieties of crassula that differ in appearance. Among them are ampelous, ground cover, bush and tree forms.
The most popular varieties among flower growers are Crassula Ovata and Pony Buzzy. Both species are succulents and are completely unlike each other.
The faty tree is sparsely grown only in greenhouses and winter gardens, and Crassula Ovata grows quite successfully at home.

How to plant a money tree sprout in a pot
First of all, we will understand how to properly propagate the fatty meat, so that, taking a process from friends or acquaintances, it was easy to plant it in a pot in your house.
Reproduction of the money tree is carried out with the help of seeds or cuttings. Seeds are sown in shallow containers with drainage holes, then covered with polyethylene. Aftercare for seedlings consists of regular airing and spraying. After 2-3 weeks, the first shoots will emerge. This method of breeding fatty meat is quite complicated.
The method of breeding Crassula cuttings is much easier. The stalk can be rooted in water or immediately planted in the ground. The sprout of the money tree is planted in a pot to a depth of about 5 cm. Some gardeners believe that when planting cuttings in March or April, the likelihood that the jade will bloom in the future will increase. And if Krassoul is planted in the middle of summer, there will be less chance of that.
How to choose the right pot for the money tree
The fatty woman has a rather massive ground part, which means that a wide and low pot with good stability is better suited to this flower. This choice of pot is due to the fact that Crassula has a superficial root system. For successful runoff of water in the pan, at the bottom of the pot should be small holes.
Of course, it is not necessary to immediately plant the sprout of the money tree in a large pot. For a start, a small pot is enough, but as the flower grows, it must be transplanted into a more suitable pot.
How to transplant money tree
To transplant a grown up flower of a muddle, you need to take a suitable flowerpot, fill it with a third with a drainage layer (for example, from pieces of coal or crushed bricks), then pour in the ground. Transplantation is carried out by transshipment earthen coma So the plant is easier to transfer this procedure. After this, the ground is filled to the top.
In the process of transplanting need to carefully inspect the root system of the flower. Remove rotten roots, indicating an excess of moisture. After that, Crassula is left to dry for a day.
How to choose the land for planting bastard
Planting money tree should be carried out in the ground for succulents, to which this plant belongs. Best of all the flower feels in the turf ground. The soil is suitable, which is used for growing cacti, but the jade is also successfully planted in a universal soil.
If desired, the soil mixture can be prepared by yourself. To do this, growers are advised to mix one part of sand, humus and leaf earth, adding four parts of sod land.
How to plant a money tree in order to carry money in the house?
In order to keep money in the house, when transferring to a pottery with a sweetie, you need to put a coin, and tie its branches with red ribbons. Well, if in your apartment grows fat man, but it is important to learn. This can be done even with a small salary.
How to care for the money tree
Growing a money tree at home is a painless and very interesting affair. This flower comes from hot countries, so it is necessary to provide conditions as close to tropical as possible. In spring and summer, Crassula has a growing season, and winter is a time of rest. Basic care for the money tree in the home is in compliance with the following rules.
How to water a money tree?
Many florists have a question, how to water a money tree? The first rule: you can not allow Gulf fatty. Excess moisture for it is destructive. Excessive watering can lead to the fact that the roots rot, and the leaves begin to fall away. In the warm season, the plant can be watered twice a week, with the onset of cold weather, watering is reduced to a minimum. In order not to flood the money tree, before each irrigation it is necessary to check the condition of the soil at a depth of 3-4 centimeters. If the ground is dry, crassula can be watered.
If the irrigation regime is not followed and the soil is excessively wet, the root system is affected by the fungus. In this case, you can save the money tree, if you get it together with an earthy clod from a pot, dry it thoroughly and treat it with a special solution from fungi.
However, Crassula may also suffer due to lack of moisture! Ideally, the ground with a flower should be slightly moist.
We wipe the leaves of the bastard - we attract money!
Florists are advised from time to time to wipe the leaves of the bastard with a damp cloth in order to remove dust, and splash water on them from the sprinkler. It would be best to arrange a warm shower for Krassule once a week. In winter, such a "wash" can be arranged once a month.
Water should be warm, but not hot. To prevent moisture from falling on the ground, you can cover the ground in a pot with a conventional cling film. You can not carry wet sweetie in his place. We need to give the water a little drain.
Where better to put a money tree in the apartment
A fat woman is a light-loving plant, but it is strictly forbidden to place it under the scorching sun. In addition, in this case, the top layer of the earth will dry out very quickly.
The plant will fully grow on the window sill from the southeast side, where there will always be light, but there will be no sun. With the onset of spring, many growers put it on the floor of the balcony, and in the winter - on the window sill on the south side.
Insufficient lighting can contribute to the stretching of the plant stem, with the result that it becomes an ugly form. In order to prevent this, a jerk should be put on window sills, especially in poorly lit rooms.
In summer, crassula is suitable for temperatures from 20 to 25 degrees. But in winter, the flower will need to reduce the temperature to 10 - 15 degrees. Reduction to 6 degrees heat is allowed. If it is not possible to place the plant in winter in a room with such a temperature, then at least you should remove the flower from the battery.
The negative consequence of improper temperature in the period of rest can be the stretching of the crassula trunk and the falling of the leaves located below. Leaves can also fall off if there is a constant draft in the room where the pot with the money tree stands. Of course, the fat woman needs constant airing, but it is impossible to prevent the appearance of drafts. They only hurt.
Money tree must be fed!
As feedings for fat woman, universal preparations or additives for succulents are most often used. To nutrients better absorbed, plants fertilize only after watering.
Fertilization is carried out during the growing season - in spring and summer with a frequency of 1 time per month. In the autumn-winter period, feeding is carried out 1 time in 3 months.
Formation of the crown of the bastard
To create a uniform and symmetrical shape, the bastard is turned on the light around its axis. But to form a beautiful crown, the flower still has to be cut a little.
To form a crown, you need to wait until four new leaves appear on the plant, and a new kidney begins to form. It is necessary to pinch off, carefully unscrewing hands or miniature tweezers.
Each branch of the money tree should be no more than three or four pairs of leaves. When the tree grows up, its top will also need to pinch off.
If the moment when the four leaves have already grown, missed, and new leaves appear, circumcision will help. It is necessary to cut the branch over the 4th pair of leaves. The cut is filled with activated carbon powder.
Possible problems in the care of the money tree
Many growers complain that the fatty leaves fall or wither. What can be wrong?
Excessive watering helps to darken the leaves, change their color or fall.
A change in the color of the foliage to a dirty yellow can still be caused by a fungal disease from waterlogging.
Watering with cold water is another reason why diseases appear in a tropical flower.
The appearance of brown spot on the foliage indicates a lack of moisture.
The rot that appeared at the base of the stem is a sure sign of the rotting of the plant's root system. In this case, cut off the apical part of the plant, and the flower is grown in a new way.
Money Tree Pests
Crassula is an unpretentious and pest-resistant plant. However, there are quite a few pests attacking the bastard:
Flap - forms on the leaves brownish or yellow spots. Methods of treatment: "Fufanon", "Fitoverm", soap solution.
Spider mite - forms a spider web between the leaves and stems. Methods of treatment: garlic infusion, tobacco infusion, soap solution.
The mealybug is a whitish patina on the leaf axils. Methods of treatment: a thick solution of household soap, insecticides.
Does the money tree bloom?
Blossoms blooming is a rare phenomenon, so not every florist is able to see him. Therefore, it is widely believed that the money tree does not bloom. But it is not.
During the flowering period, the plant is densely covered with small flowers of white, light pink or greenish color, depending on the variety. They produce a pleasant sweet aroma.
The flowering period begins at the stage of plant growth in the spring and lasts for 2-3 months. You should not hope that the bastard will bloom in the first years after planting. It can give flowers in 8 or even 10 years. Or it may not bloom at all, with all that he was provided the right and timely care.
Flower growers believe that the lack of lighting prevents the flowering of the money tree. This is a feature of our climate.
There is a sign: if a money tree grows well and grows stronger - wealth is not far off, and if it fades and leaves fall, it promises problems with money.
However, it is not necessary to believe in omens. If you properly care for the money tree, it can be an excellent decoration for any room, will long please you with beauty and bring warmth and comfort to the house.

Reproduction: from "A" to "Z"
It is possible to propagate a fathead at any time of the year. But in the summer, this procedure is still best avoided: it has been observed that the specimens planted in the summer barely bloom.
The most reliable method is grafting
The first breeding method is grafting. It is suitable for a sufficiently large tree, from which you can borrow a process without detriment to its development. This is usually done when the plant reaches the age of three.
The presence of air roots on the handle is a good sign: this can take root faster.
A cutting designed for cutting must be healthy, non-dull, about 10 cm long. Rooting is possible both in water and in soil.
If you only have a tip, it can also take root.
For better rooting, you need to prepare a solution of Kornevin and succinic acid. Kornevin can be replaced with Heteroauxin. First you need to dilute one tablet of succinic acid in 250 ml of hot water. In the cooled solution, add Kornevin powder on the tip of a knife. Stir well.
It is not necessary to spray the whole cutting with a solution; only a part of the process that will contact with the ground should be treated with a moistened cotton pad.
Rooting cuttings in the soil
What you need to cook:
- sharp disinfected knife;
- antiseptic (turmeric or activated carbon powder);
- ground for succulents or cacti with the addition of sand 2: 1;
- some sand;
- small pot (or plastic cup);
- drainage (pieces of foam or fine expanded clay);
- rooting solution.
- Carefully, without breaking off the leaves of the bollard, cut the stalk: you need to hold the stem, cut between the segments.
Cutting off the stalk, keep in mind that it will need a little dry.
Treat the sections with an antiseptic and place the cutting for several hours to dry.
Pour drainage on the bottom of the pot.
Pour the ground over the drainage with the added sand and slightly moisten with the prepared rooting solution.
Moisten the cutting with a cotton pad dipped in a solution of Kornevin and succinic acid, and stick it in a pot with soil.
Pour a small layer of sand on top and place the pot in a shady non-hot place.
Sand is needed so that water does not evaporate quickly, at the same time it protects the ground from mold. Ramming the soil is not necessary.
You can plant together up to three shoots. Next to the sand you can stick and leaves that could accidentally break off.
Care planted cuttings
Usually the roots appear fairly quickly (one to two weeks). Leave the stalk to grow in a pot.
Noticed the emergence of new leaves and the growth of the crown? This means that the plant has successfully settled down.
- With the beginning of growth, put the plant in a bright place and during the year try not to change its location.
- Protect the sprout from direct sunlight.
- Do not feed the plant for the first 8 months. In the future, you need to feed fertilizer for cacti and succulents 1 time per month, reducing the specified dose in the instruction two or three times.
- To prevent rotting, water the planted cuttings with warm water and only after the soil has dried out. Water gently, along the edge of the pot, so as not to erode the soil.
- Succinic acid can be added to water once every two months (1 250 ml tablet).
Succinic acid is not a top dressing, but a stimulator of plant growth and development.
With the humens, the principle of watering is this: it is better to dry than to pour. The flooded plant decays, fades and practically does not recover. For the same reason, the hunkers are not sprayed.
It will be possible to transplant the grown plant in a year. Later transplant as the roots grow (about once every three to four years). The plant needs a transplant when the roots begin to appear on the soil surface.
Rooting leaves in the soil
Lists money tree propagated when there is no suitable cutting.
"Money" sheet must be healthy and strong. It must be dried during the day and planted in the same soil mix with drainage as the cutting. Only a pot, of course, choose a smaller one.

It is not necessary to deepen the leaf strongly; if necessary, fix it with some kind of support. Plant slightly obliquely so that it does not interfere with the sprout that appears.
Step-by-step guide to leaf rooting in the soil:
- Cut the necessary leaves of the plant or break off, pulling each leaf to the side. If the very tip remains on the trunk, do not worry.
Treat the cut with an antiseptic and leave the leaf to dry for several hours.
Pour a layer of fine charcoal over the potted soil. Dampen the top layer with a spray bottle.
Stick a dried leaf into the ground completely shallow, fix it with something, bearing in mind that later the fixation will need to be removed. If using a cap, immediately calculate the size of the hole.
Put the pot in a bright place, but not under direct sunlight.
The leaf needs to be watered even more modestly than the cutting. It is enough to moisten the ground around it a little. After waiting for the sprouts, remove the fixation.
After germination, take care of a new plant, like a cutting.
If you plant a few leaves, they can be slightly buried at an angle, or put almost lying down.

Rooting cuttings and leaves in water
In the water, the cuttings and leaves rooted more difficult, as they may rot. But it can be done.
To avoid decay, it is necessary to change the water once every three days and tint it with the drugs Methylene Blue or Malachite Green.
Step-by-step instructions for rooting cuttings in water:
- Cut the stalk, remove excess lower leaves.
- Make a solution with the addition of Kornevin or another root-forming agent: dilute the agent at the tip of a knife in 250 ml of warm water.
- Place the stalk in a glass with a solution, fixing it from falling if it does not hold. Put in a place protected from direct sun before the roots appear.
After the formation of the roots plant the stalk in the ground.
Even on a dry stem can sprout
Pests are not particularly fond of sweevy, so the main problems lie in fungal and bacterial diseases.
In order for plants to be healthy, you must comply with the conditions of detention.

Money Tree Description
Crassula is an unpretentious home tree, has a thick, stiff stem and foliage, in the form of money coins. It belongs to the genus Succulent, numbering over 300 species. The bush can have two types of trunk: creeping and straight. In a natural environment, the height of a tree can vary from 3 cm to 5 meters. Depending on the varietal variety, foliage can be of various shapes and colors, 4-7 cm in length.
The house plant blossoms with large white or white-pink flowers, gathering in a semi-sunshade. The tree blossoms rather seldom, approximately by the age of 7-10. During flowering, the inflorescence fills the room with a lasting sweet aroma.
Interesting! Any pair of leaves is located at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the previous one.
Origin
The tree is originally from hot Africa. Thanks to the motherland culture has acquired such characteristics as endurance and unpretentiousness. The seedling can develop independently, even if you violate the rules of care. In the wild, there are few varietal plant species. The most in demand among lovers of indoor plants Crassula silver and tree. However, to achieve flowering at home is quite difficult. But if the tree has bloomed, then it is a sign of success and well-being.
Breeding features
There are three ways of breeding fatty: seeds, cuttings, leaflets. The most clear and effective way recognized cutting. When using this method, the seedlings soon take root, adapts to the growing conditions. A couple of months after disembarkation, a healthy, full-fledged plant develops.
The method of breeding leaves is considered one of the most troublesome. This feature is associated with frequent decay of the prepared material. In addition, the formation of roots and germination of children takes a long time.
Seed propagation is the most difficult and long-lasting method, and considering the low probability of flowering, the tree is also practically impossible. If you still manage to collect the sowing material, then germinate it is very problematic.
Informative! For adherents of the seed method of reproduction, there is an automatic seed germinator, the sprouter.
How to plant a scion of a money tree at home
Even a beginner in floriculture, who has not previously understood the details of flower crop cultivation, can cope with the landing and cultivation of the magic bush. Crassula is well acclimatized from both the leaf and the small process.
Preparation of planting material
Initially cut from the parent plant cuttings. To do this, use a clean sharp knife. Then the selected stalk is dried for 48 hours at room temperature. For the prevention of infection by infection, the place of the cut is sprinkled with fine charcoal.
Ground selection and preparation
At home, fatty grows in the soil with a large amount of sand in the composition. Also, the soil should be loose and loose. For home cultivation, it is necessary to provide the flower with conditions that are as close as possible to the natural habitat. For breeding cultures are advised to use the purchase substrate, specialized for the cultivation of cacti or plants belonging to the genus of succulents.
When it is necessary to prepare the soil mixture independently, it is recommended to combine the three components: medium-grained sand, peat and sheet soil in the proportion (3: 2: 2). To ensure the full passage of air through the soil mixture, add a soil disintegrant (vermiculite or perlite).
Remember! Any variety of crassula poorly tolerates dense, poorly drained soil. It is this land that is responsible for the delay of moisture in the area of occurrence of the roots.
Which pot is best to choose
Capacity for planting must be chosen carefully, with special care. The selected capacity directly affects the rate of formation of the root system and the adaptation of the seedling in the soil. Such attention to the planting pot is due to the rather rapid growth of the tree, which is able to increase the thick heavy crown. And under the condition of poor or insufficient development of the root system, a weighty plant will be hard to keep on the surface.
Florists with experience recommend that in the first year of seedling growth, the choice of a heavy, capacious, sufficiently deep container should be stopped. The best option would be ceramic or clay flower pots with a wide neck. Such a choice is due to the specificity of the rapidly emerging and rather superficially located roots of the family of succulents.
It is necessary to know that plants from the family of succulents do not require frequent transplantation, especially in relation to an adult, strongly overgrown bush. The larger the capacity for breeding, the faster the seedling will increase the green mass.
Tip! During the first two years of growth, it is recommended to plant a young sapling of a sapling once a year, choosing a container with a slightly larger diameter.
Landing time
Some growers argue that, subject to the timing of planting seedlings can very quickly wait for the flowering culture. For example, the shoalhead shovel will bloom when landing in the early to mid-spring. Crassula Schmidt - after landing in March. The Krassula-bordered variety will bloom after planting in early summer.
Landing rules
For the proper planting of a sapling of a money tree, it is necessary to know and follow a few simple but extremely important rules:
- for rooting, the petiole separated from the mother bush is immersed in a tank with separated water, kept for several days at room temperature;
- for rooting in the nutrient substrate, it is important to maintain the "greenhouse effect" and watering through the pan;
- to reduce the time for the formation of the root system, experienced flower growers advise to cut the stem with a growth stimulator (Kornevin or Hetero-auxin);
- a drainage layer is poured on the bottom of the landing tank;
- it is important to remember about the depth of planting, which directly depends on the size of the stem;
- by average, the process is buried 40-60 mm into the soil.
