When does the money tree bloom?

In its home in South Africa, the money tree blooms from June to August, when it is winter time there.

When cared for in the room, the flowering period begins at the end of winter from February. Sometimes it sets in a few weeks later.

How to make the money tree bloom

In order for a money tree to develop flowers, it must be kept cooler and drier in the winter. It is ideal if you put the plant outside over the summer and bring it back inside before it gets too cold.

In summer, the temperatures at the location of the money tree should be between 20 and 27 degrees. In winter he likes it cooler at 11 degrees. The non-winter-hardy plant does not tolerate temperatures below 5 degrees.

Bring the money tree to a bright window in winter, for example in the hallway or in the entrance area. As soon as you put it a little warmer after winter, the flowers will develop. The houseplant must not be too dark, as the shoots will then die off.

Tips

If you want to harvest seeds to multiply your money tree, leave the inflorescences until fruit has formed. The capsules contain tons of very small seeds that you can sow at home.
