The fat woman, or, as it is popularly called, the money tree, is perhaps one of the most popular plants among our compatriots.
Perhaps, suggests the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , such prevalence of this plant is connected with its ability to serve as a magnet for money - if you believe the signs, of course.
However, there is one important condition - if you want money to flow like a river, the plant should please you with its well-groomed appearance and, preferably, bloom.
The last point deserves special attention: it is not very common to come across a blooming fat woman.
However, the situation is easy to correct by creating the conditions necessary for the plant to bloom.
Firstly, the tree should not be less than 5-6 years old.
Secondly, the length of daylight hours does not in any way affect the process of flower formation: on the contrary, unlike most plants, the fat woman chooses autumn or winter to bloom.
Therefore, from September the plant should be taken out to the balcony, that is, to a place where it is relatively dark and cold. Thanks to this action, you will be able to put the plant into a state of so-called hibernation. Fertilizers should not be applied during this period of time, and watering should be reduced to once every 3 weeks.
By the end of October, when the cold snap can be called significant, return the flower to warmth. The next day, apply a complex fertilizer containing potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen.
An excellent choice would be azofoska, which will require 1 teaspoon per 1.5 liters of water. In addition, it would not hurt to spray the fat woman with "Zircon" - flowering should occur in 2-3 weeks.
