Money plant vine is growing long but leaves are not coming? Make the plant dense and green with this easy cutting trick


Along with enhancing the beauty of the courtyard, balcony or rooms of the house, money plant is also considered a very auspicious and money-attracting plant from the point of view of Vastu Shastra. Money Plant can be seen in almost every house of India, but most of the people are troubled by one big problem – the vine of their Money Plant grows thin and long and runs very fast, but green and big leaves are not visible on it or the leaves grow at a great distance. This condition is called ‘leggy growth’ in gardening language. If your plant is also just hanging like an empty stem, then you do not need to worry. By adopting proper care, balance of light and a special ‘Cutting & Pruning Technique’ (Cutting & Pruning Trick), you can make your lifeless money plant thick, beautiful and shiny again in a few weeks.

#1 What is that 1 easy cutting trick that will make the money plant very dense?

The most effective and scientific trick to make money plant dense and bushy is to take cuttings from the right place i.e. pruning them. When you cut the top of a long, leafless vine of a money plant, the plant’s ‘apical dominance’ is lost. This means that instead of growing in just one direction, all of the plant’s energy goes into producing many new branches and leaves from the ‘node area’ below the main stem. For this, you should cut those parts of the long vine of the plant where there are no leaves with sanitized scissors. Instead of throwing away the cut vines, plant their node area in a water bottle or light soil, due to which new roots will emerge within a few days and by replanting them in the same pot, you can fill the pot completely.

#1 Use of Mogra or Jute Pole (Moss Stick) is the secret of making the leaves big and dense.

Along with the cutting trick, the use of Moss Pole is considered to be the most effective remedy to make the leaves of the money plant bigger and denser. In nature, money plant is a creeper or climber plant, which has small ‘aerial roots’ on its stems. When you place a moss stick made of jute or coconut fiber in the middle of the pot and sprinkle water on it and wrap it around the vine, these roots sink inside the stick and start absorbing moisture and nutrition. As soon as the roots begin to receive support and nourishment from the wood or moss stick, the leaves of the plant automatically begin to double in size and become extremely dense.

#1 Right balance of sunlight, water and fertilizer: Pay special attention to these things

Only by taking cuttings the plant will not become dense, but it is equally important to provide the right environment for it. Never keep the money plant in direct sunlight, it causes the leaves to turn yellow and start burning. Keep it in a place where it gets filtered bright indirect sunlight. Water only when the top soil of the pot appears dry, as overwatering can cause root rot and leaf drop. Mix vermicompost or homemade compost of used tea leaves in the soil once a month. Spraying or misting the leaves with plain water once a week removes dust from the leaves and keeps them shiny green.
