The fat woman, popularly known as the money tree, stops developing for a number of reasons that are very easy to fix.

If we turn to signs and superstitions, then this plant is responsible for the financial success of its owners.

Therefore, it is not good for the fat woman to wither and wrinkle its leaves. It is necessary to rid the plant of all external irritants, and then it will definitely bloom.

Why the money tree does not grow

1. The temperature regime is also important. Crassula likes the air to be warmed up to +20 …+30 °C. In winter, drafts and overcooling of the flowerpot should be avoided.

2. Dust on the leaves is unacceptable. The organs whose key function is photosynthesis should be periodically wiped with a damp cloth.

3. In autumn, winter and spring, watering is moderate, the soil should dry thoroughly before the next watering. Only in summer is it permissible to increase the volume of water by a maximum of 50%. Abundant watering from autumn to spring is fraught with root rot and death in 90% of cases.

4. Keep the fat plant away from heat sources. As a rule, this most often refers to radiators and heaters.

5. If the money tree has stopped developing, the reason may be pests. You need to inspect the plant and, if necessary, treat it with a special preparation.
