1. Breeding method

Basin soil selection: the cultivation of fortune tree should choose the suitable basin soil according to its growth habits. First of all, its root system is not developed. You can choose a shallower flowerpot with good air permeability. The soil should also be loose and fertile with good drainage and air permeability. It can be mixed with garden soil, rotten leaf soil and coarse sand, and mixed with a small amount of compound fertilizer to increase nutrition

Water and fertilizer management: Fortune tree likes to be wet. Whenever it is observed that some of its basin soil is dry, water it in time and pay attention to controlling the amount of water. In addition, it can be watered a little more in high temperature and vigorous growth period in summer, but less in winter and newly planted small plants. In terms of fertilization, fortune trees prefer fertilizer and have a great demand for fertilizer. Therefore, pay attention to applying enough base fertilizer when changing pots every spring. From May to September, when plants grow vigorously, fertilizer should be applied every half a month, and rotten liquid fertilizer can be used

Suitable light: Fortune trees prefer light and are suitable to grow in an environment with sufficient light, but they should also be properly shaded when the sun is too strong in summer. In addition, we need to make its leaf face towards the sun to make it grow better. If you are in shade for a long time, don't suddenly transfer to the environment with strong light

Suitable temperature: Fortune tree is suitable to grow at a temperature between 20 and 30 degrees. It is resistant to high temperature, but it is afraid of cold. If the temperature is lower than 10 degrees in winter, it should be moved to a warm place for maintenance in time. Be sure to keep warm

2. Breeding skills

Changing pots: in order to ensure the suitability of the plant growth environment, it is necessary to change pots every one or two years or when the nutrition in the pot soil is exhausted. The pot can be changed in spring, and its branches and leaves can also be trimmed to promote the germination of new branches

Pruning: when the fortune tree grows too fast, it needs to prune its branches and leaves in time to prevent some branches from growing too fast and affecting the overall beauty. It can also be appropriately changed in shape to improve its ornamental value

Prevention and control of diseases and pests: Fortune trees are more prone to root rot and leaf blight, and the pests mainly include the larvae of sugarcane flat moth, which need to be prevented in time. If diseases and pests occur, they should be treated in time to avoid too much affecting the growth of plants
