Buying an adult zamioculcas, or as it is also called, a dollar tree, in a flower shop is not a cheap pleasure.

Instead, the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises growing the flower yourself.

If you have managed to obtain a cutting of the plant, try to grow roots on the stem by placing it in water.

So you will be able to become the owner of a new plant quite quickly. In order for the operation to be successful, it is worth knowing the rules that should be followed when rooting a money tree.

First, treat the cutting with a root formation stimulator - only after this can you put the zamioculcas in boiled water at room temperature.

Don't forget to add activated carbon to the water - it will be useful for disinfection.
