Different Ideas To Grow Money Plant

Depending on the method which you have selected for planting your money plant, you can use them in different ways to decorate your home and garden. If you are bored with the conventional ground planting methods, here are some different ideas which will help you to give a new look to your money plant.

1. Plant in pot: Planting money plant in a pot is a good option if you need a heavy bushy growth. Proper addition of water and fertilizers will help you to get an ample growth. It is easy to reposition your money plant if it is in a pot.

2. Make a wall cover: Money plant is one of the most popular choices for those who love to get a natural wall cover. Since money plants are perennial climbers, they will give a complete green covered look for your wall.

3. Sticks in pot method: This is the most common method used to grow money plant. Moss-covered polythene pipes are generally used for providing moisture and to hold the roots. Coir ropes can also be used instead of moss.

4. Hang from pots: Hanging money plants from pots will certainly add a different look to your home. You can try this either in your garden or balcony. Trimming the stems will help you to get a thicker growth.

5. Plant in water: Select a bottle with attractive shape to plant your money plant. Fill the bottle three by fourth with water. Insert a stem into the water taking care not to submerge any leaves in water. Always check the level of water and remember to change the water at least once in two weeks.

6. Keep in showcase: Money plant planted in water is a good choice to be kept in your showcase. It will be a fresh and cheerful sight and the plant will last for many months without much care and assistance.

7. Make an arch: Making a green arch to the entrance of your garden is a good idea. Try this with a money plant and see how exciting the result will be. Take care to cut-off the bigger leaves because small leaves will be more appealing on an arch.
