Common Kitchen Ingredients That Can Boost Money Plant Growth and Bring Fresh Leaves
A money plant not only adds beauty to your home but also brings a refreshing touch of greenery. It grows well in both soil and water, and you can keep it indoors or outdoors. However, sometimes the plant stops growing, its leaves dry up, and it looks dull. If your money plant has also slowed down, a few common kitchen ingredients can help speed up its growth and bring out fresh new leaves.
Turmeric Water
If your money plant is affected by fungus, mix a little turmeric in water and pour it into the pot. This will help fight the fungus and improve growth. You can also add Epsom salt to the soil. It keeps the plant lush and green.
Baking Soda Water
Mix one teaspoon of baking soda in one or two mugs of water and pour it at the base of the plant. This simple remedy boosts growth, and you will notice new leaves sprouting in just a few days.
Used Tea Leaves or Tea Water
After straining tea, the leftover tea leaves can be used as an organic fertilizer for money plants. Wash the tea leaves before adding them to remove sugar content. You can also pour cooled tea water into the pot. Both methods help the plant grow healthier and greener.
Tips to Keep Your Money Plant Healthy
- Place the plant in mild sunlight but avoid direct harsh rays.
- Water only when the top layer of soil dries out.
- Add fertilizer and loosen the soil from time to time.
- Shower the plant 1–2 times a week to keep its leaves clean.
- Remove old and dried leaves regularly to keep the plant fresh.
With these simple kitchen hacks and care tips, your money plant will thrive and stay green for a long time.
