How to Plant Money Plant
- Sow seeds directly into the garden, after the risk of frost has passed, by thinly covering seed no more than 1/8 inch.
- Presoak seeds overnight before planting 3 - 4 seeds per cell or plant.
- Space plants 30 inches apart in garden.
Care And Maintenance
- Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating.
- Mulches play a vital role in preserving soil moisture and ensuring consistent soil temperatures. When it comes to annuals, using organic mulch made from shredded leaves not only enhances the appearance of the bed but also enriches the soil as it decomposes over time. Remember to keep mulch away from the plant stems to avoid potential rot issues.
- Water regularly, but let the top two inches of soil dry out before watering.
- Prune to remove diseased or dead foliage.
