The aerial roots of the fortune tree can be cut off.
All the roots of the money tree can be cut off. After sawing off the roots of the money tree, if the main trunk is intact, it can be replanted and survive. However, the wound must be treated correctly and replanted according to scientific procedures, so as to ensure that it can continue to take root and survive, and grow back with strong stems and luxuriant branches, so that the potted plant has high ornamental value.
Notes
Time. It is best to choose during spring and summer, when plants grow more vigorously. After pruning, the money tree can quickly recover and grow new branches and leaves.
Water. Improper watering can cause the leaves of the money tree to turn yellow or even die, especially when pruning the branches. The money tree itself is a very drought-tolerant plant. Its ability in this regard is comparable to that of a cactus. Now that the branches are cut off, the money will be consumed through leaf metabolism. The water content is greatly reduced. If you water it too much, the roots will accumulate water and cause rot. Why the money tree is so drought-tolerant is mainly because its thick stems can store a large amount of water and nutrients.
Fertilizer. The money tree is a plant that likes fertilizer. When pruning the money tree, special attention should be paid to fertilization. Nitrogen fertilizer can be applied appropriately to help it recover better.
