Idea 1: Growing Money Plants from Cuttings
One of the easiest ways to grow money plants is by taking cuttings from an existing vine. Start by selecting healthy cuttings with at least two or three leaves. Tie the cuttings together using a string or rubber band.
Then, place the cuttings in a cup of water, making sure the nodes (the points where the leaves are attached) are submerged. Change the water once a week to keep it fresh. After about 30 days, you will notice that roots have developed on the cuttings. At this point, you can replant them into glass jars or pots filled with potting soil.
Idea 2: Using Wire Hooks to Train Money Plant Vines
If you want to keep your money plant vines in their original pot but still want them to grow bushier, this idea is for you. Take some pieces of wire and shape them into hooks. Carefully tuck the vines into the same pot using the wire hooks to support them. This will encourage the plant to grow more branches and become bushier. To add a decorative touch, you can also place the potted plant in a painted pot.
Idea 3: Making Coir Sticks for Money Plants
Coir sticks are a great way to support the growth of money plant vines. To make a coir stick, wrap a coir rope around a PVC pipe and secure it with hot glue. Once the rope is firmly attached, apply hot glue to the bottom of the pipe and fix it in a plastic pot. Fill the pot with potting soil and plant money plants with long vines. Tie the vines to the coir stick for support. Finally, spray water thoroughly to keep the plants hydrated.
Idea 4: Tying Money Plant Vines Around a Hanging Pot
If you have a hanging pot, you can utilize the vertical space by tying money plant vines around it. Simply let the long vine trail down from the hanging pot and wrap it around the pot. This not only adds a decorative element but also allows the plant to grow in a cascading manner.
Idea 5: Growing Money Plants in a Medium-Large Bowl
For those who want to create a lush display of money plants, using a medium-large bowl is a great option. Prepare a plastic bowl by making some drainage holes and painting it with spray paint for a pop of color. Fill the bowl with potting soil and plant lots of money plants. Water them thoroughly and add gravel stones on top of the soil for a finished look. Place the potted plants in a drip tray to catch any excess water.
These are just a few ideas to help you grow bushy money plants at home. Remember to provide them with proper care, including regular watering, indirect sunlight, and occasional fertilization. With a little patience and love, your money plants will thrive and bring a touch of greenery and prosperity to your home.
