Love your videos! I was 2 weeks into propagating my money tree in soil but after watching your video, I put them in water. Fingers crossed. Please make a video showing the process/progress of braiding yours. Oh I almost forgot my question: I took a money tree cutting and the only leaf on it fell off. Will it still grow roots do you think?

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you found it helpful 😊 thanks for the suggestion! I’m definitely thinking about doing a video for the braiding process. As for the cutting, if the only leaf on it fell off then it will have no way of producing energy for new growth as in new roots. I’d suggest taking a cutting with at least one full leaf and put it in water for a few weeks. Hope that helps!

[@Fine-by.me1000]

Do you change out the water periodically?

[@AVelasquez22]

Do you use a grow light for the money tree? I have mine next to the window so it can get sun but he seems a little slow at growing.

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

I have my main Money Tree near a east facing window, where it gets bright indirect light. However, I keep the propagations under a grow light.

First of all i would thank you for your videos, second thing CONGRATULATION for your marry and May GOD bless you,, I have a question regarding water you are using it after cutting, do you use any kind of liquids or just plain water ?!?

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

Thanks for your comment and well wishes! To answer your question, I just used regular tap water without any additional liquids. If you’re having trouble getting your cuttings to root, you could use a rooting hormone on them and it should make it easier. Hope this helps!

[@imadiamonddaughter]

Where you leave the cutting while it is growing the roots in water - better in a sunny windowsill? or further away so it receives indirect light? Thank you!

[@phuongmacAgent99]

hi, one of my money tree branch broke and i just stick the whole branch in water. Is that how to propagate it since it broke? I see some white thingy growing is that normal?

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

Absolutely! You're on the right track. Planting the broken branch in water is a common method for propagating Money Trees. Those white things you see are most likely the beginnings of roots, which is a great sign that your propagation is progressing well. Keep an eye on the roots, and when they're a few inches long, you can transplant your cutting into soil. Good luck with your propagated Money Tree! 🪴

[@adammoser872]

How long do you keep the propagated plant in the smaller pot? Until root bound? Also how many inches is that pot it looks smaller than the 4inch standard nursery pot pot

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

You can keep it in the smaller pot until it outgrows the space or becomes root-bound. The pot might look smaller due to camera angles or the potting mix settling, but it's still suitable for propagation.

[@vivalanina]

do you need to keep them under a grow light or would a windowsill and natural sun cycle suffice?

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

I keep mine under a grow light, but it’s not required. You can place it on a east facing window where it gets bright, indirect light.

[@lstev7489]

Is there a way to make the money plant bushy? Its like it loses its bottom leaves..its healthy...

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

To encourage a bushier and healthier money tree (Pachira), there are several steps you can take. First, consider regular pruning to trim back longer stems just above a leaf node. This will stimulate new growth and help maintain a fuller appearance. Additionally, make sure to rotate the plant regularly to ensure even sunlight exposure on all sides, preventing it from becoming lopsided. Proper watering is crucial; allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings and ensure the pot has good drainage. During the growing season (spring and summer), use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth. If your money tree has outgrown its current pot, consider repotting it into a slightly larger container to provide more space for the roots to grow. Maintaining higher humidity levels around the plant, either through misting or using a water tray, can help prevent leaf loss. Be vigilant in checking for pests like spider mites or mealybugs, as they can stress the plant and lead to leaf drop. If any pests are detected, take appropriate measures to eliminate them. Lastly, ensure your money tree is placed in the right lighting conditions-bright, indirect light is ideal, but it can tolerate some direct sunlight. By following these steps, you can promote a bushier and healthier money tree.

My pachira tree has alot of small new leaves that don’t grow big, like super multiplied on one stem how do i prone to have strong leaves growing

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

If you’re looking for big leaves, you’ll need the right amount of light, air circulation, and feed. This time of year is when Money Trees grow, so that’s probably why you’re getting those new leaves. Pruning them off might not be the best thing for big leaves. Make sure you’re feeding it enough during it’s growing season, gets enough bright, indirect light (east-facing window are best), and running a fan in the room for some air circulation might help. Hope this helps, thanks for watching! 🤞🏼

[@kimgillett8794]

I have been trying to propagate my money tree. One in soil. Two in two different glasses of water. They are smell stems with yellow leaves. There is a light clear type root I think in the water ones? No dots on stems. I'm close to just propagating my entire original plant. It's showing a lot of new growth but small and has dying leaves now and then. Any advice?

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

It's great that you're trying different propagation methods for your money tree! The presence of light, clear roots in the water stems indicates that they are starting to develop root systems. However, if the stems have no dots (nodes), it might be challenging for them to produce new leaves and grow into full plants. For better success, try the following tips: 1. Make sure each stem cutting has at least one node, as this is where roots and new growth emerge. 2. Trim any yellow or dying leaves, as they won't recover and may even hinder the propagation process. 3. Consider using a rooting hormone when propagating in soil or water, as it can encourage root growth. 4. Provide proper lighting: Money trees prefer bright, indirect light, so ensure they get enough light but not direct sunlight, especially during the propagation phase. 5. Maintain appropriate moisture levels: For water propagation, change the water regularly to prevent the growth of bacteria and provide a clean environment for the roots. 6. Be patient: Propagation takes time, and some cuttings might take longer than others to establish roots and show new growth. If your original money tree is showing signs of new growth but also has some dying leaves, ensure you're providing adequate care, including proper watering, humidity, and light conditions. It's okay to prune away unhealthy leaves to redirect the plant's energy towards new growth. Remember, propagation can be a trial-and-error process, so don't be discouraged by setbacks. Keep experimenting, and with some patience and care, you'll likely succeed in propagating your money tree successfully. Good luck! 🌱😊

Hi can you please tell me how to save my money tree I sat it out side and the leaves are turning yellow also the trunk is brown but still hard 😢

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

I'm sorry to hear about the condition of your money tree. Yellowing leaves and a brown trunk can indicate potential issues. Here are a few suggestions to help save your plant: 1. Assess sunlight exposure: Money trees prefer bright, indirect light. If you placed it outside, it may be receiving too much direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn. Consider moving it to a location with filtered light or bringing it indoors if the weather permits. 2. Check watering habits: Overwatering or underwatering can lead to leaf yellowing. Make sure you're providing adequate water by checking the soil moisture. Water the plant thoroughly but allow the top inch of soil to dry out before the next watering. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging. 3. Evaluate temperature and humidity: Money trees thrive in average room temperatures (around 65-75°F or 18-24°C) and moderate humidity. Exposure to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature fluctuations can stress the plant. Ensure a consistent and suitable environment for its growth. 4. Prune damaged leaves and branches: Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves, as well as any dead branches. This will redirect the plant's energy towards healthier growth. Make clean cuts just above a leaf node or where the branch meets the main trunk. 5. Monitor pests: Inspect the plant for any signs of pests, such as spider mites or scale insects. Treat any infestations promptly with appropriate insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils. Remember, it's important to be patient when nursing a struggling plant back to health. Make adjustments to its care routine and provide the necessary conditions for recovery. If the issues persist or worsen, consider consulting a local plant expert or nursery for further guidance. Good luck with your money tree!

[@fervieluzandres2706]

Do we change the water every day

What kind of fertilizer puting in your money tree

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

For your money tree, you can use a balanced water-soluble fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 10-10-10 or 20-20-20. Alternatively, consider slow-release granular fertilizer or organic options like compost or well-rotted manure. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging and avoid overfertilizing. Consult a plant expert for personalized guidance if needed.

Bitkinin sağlıklı kısımlarını kesin ve köklendirmek için suya koyun. Kesimleri köklendirmeden önce doğrudan toprağa koyarsanız, kesiminizi çürütür. Umarım bu yardımcı olur ve açıktır. Yanıtlamak için Google çevirisini kullanıyorum. İzlediğiniz için teşekkür ederiz!

How many times should I change the water?

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

Great question! For propagating Pachira aquatica, changing the water every 7-10 days is generally a good practice. It helps maintain a clean and conducive environment for root development. If the water starts looking cloudy or develops an unpleasant odor between changes, you might want to replace it sooner. Happy propagating! 🌿💧

Love love this video, but you should have carefully shown us how you cut the leave so we don't make mistake when cutting ours 😩

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

You can see where I cut here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raGUq36wZ7SJgcU 👍🏼 Hope this helps! 😊

[@cm7884]

Where did you cut it ? I didn’t see that in video

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

Cut where the nodes meet the trunk. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

[@reneeb5935]

I’m trying this and I actually have my leaves in water now for a good week and they’re getting brown spots on the leaves like they normally do when overwatered. Should I care?

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

If you're seeing brown spots on the leaves of your money tree cuttings after a week in water, it could be a sign of overwatering. Make sure the water level is appropriate and the leaves are not submerged. Also, check the water quality, provide proper lighting, and monitor temperature and humidity. If the problem persists, you may need to adjust your propagation method or consider planting the cuttings in soil instead.

Not with the Willa Ford! I came for the tips and left with some high school nostalgia 😂

[@devilishirv]

my cats killed my money tree😂 atleast 3 roots lol i threw it out thinking it was done till one day i check it & one of the roots was still alive and growing as we speak

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

Haha, those cheeky cats! 😂 But hey, guess what? One of the roots survived and is growing strong! Your money tree's got some serious resilience. Keep nurturing it, and who knows, it might surprise you with a comeback! 🌱✨

[@FMX8100]

Steve, thanks for the video. unfortunately, I tried it, but 10 days later still not a single tip of a root showing! I'm wondering if I should've included a specific part of the stem in my cut, the one I tried was just a single stem, should I have included a v shape stem, as in 2 leave stems connected? Are you using holy water or something? lol

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

In my experience, it can take up to 2 weeks for some cuttings to root. Using a V shape cutting, would give it the best chance. I used regular tap water to propagate these. Although, using holy water might be the secret I've yet to try lol. You got this! 💪🏼 Thanks for watching 😊

[@FMX8100]

@@StevesPropagationCorner Cool, thanks again, I'll do another V cut, and try it out in parallel with my current one, stay safe!

I did it with a v shape one it’s been 4 weeks and hasn’t rooted at all

I know this video is 2 years old. But can anyone tell me if I need to feed my money tree stems during the process of propagating? TIA

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

No need to feed them during propagation. Just focus on keeping the soil moist and providing indirect sunlight.

[@christinaterceira1480]

Hello there! I was wondering if you can help me with my money tree?. How can l send you pictures for you to see the shape that it is in. I have hope for it but its not quite growing the way l would like it too. Can you help me out?.

[@shokiemtswenisho4107]

Please dear I need it

[@emd4129]

I have a huge money tree and all of a sudden I have all these tiny pla.t flies or gnats.....no matter what I do I can get rid of them and they are out of control. What am I doing wrong?

[@StevesPropagationCorner]

Oh sorry to hear that, fungus gnats are so annoying! Unfortunately it’s that time of year. 🫤 To try to get them under control, you should let the soil of your plants dry out between waterings. If the soil is constantly moist, it will provide the ideal conditions for fungus gnats to grow. Hope this helps! 🤞🏼
