Currency is a popular type of flower that appears all year round at small and large markets, and it is cheap. However, it is also one of the difficult flower types to arrange because of its stem with various shapes and no leaves. Particularly, it is hollow inside, so it is easy to wilt quickly.

With a passion for and experience in conquering many difficult flower types, Ms. Ha Le shares some tips for having a beautiful, long-lasting currency bouquet.

Step 1: Choose fresh flowers with rigid stems that are not wilted and have round blooming without any deformities.

Step 2: After buying the flowers, gently remove each layer of cellophane wrapping them into three different lengths.

Step 3: Choose a suitable vase. If the vase is tall with a small mouth, arrange the flowers from high to low in layers intertwined with each other. If the vase has a wide mouth, arrange the flowers from low to high. You can use foam to secure the position of the flowers better.

Ms. Ha shares that the secret to keeping currency flowers fresh for a long time is to pour a very small amount of water, just enough to submerge the root of the flower, about 3 cm. Moreover, every 1 – 2 days, take the flowers out, cut the submerged part of the stem, discard it, then rinse the vase and replace the water. The flowers will remain fresh and lasting for up to 10 days.

“Currency flowers often have various curved stems, so after arranging them in a vase, they look very natural. You can also arrange them with intertwined leaves near the mouth of the vase to make them look fuller and more lush,” Ms. Ha Le said.

Frequently asked questions

Money plants, also known as Pachira aquatica, are known for their vibrant foliage and ability to thrive indoors. To keep your money plant blooming and healthy, follow these tips: Provide bright, indirect sunlight, water regularly but allow the top soil to dry out slightly between waterings, maintain humidity around the plant, feed with a balanced fertilizer once a month, prune yellow or dead leaves, ensure good air circulation, repot when necessary, and be mindful of common pests and diseases.

Money plants are believed to bring good luck and prosperity, hence their name. They are also excellent air purifiers, removing common indoor air pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene. Additionally, money plants can help increase humidity, creating a more comfortable environment and reducing static electricity.

Water your money plant regularly, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s important to find a balance. During the growing season (spring and summer), your plant may require more frequent watering, while in winter, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows.

Overwatering symptoms include yellowing or browning leaves, leaf drop, and a general decline in plant health. If the soil is constantly soggy, root rot may set in, leading to plant death. Underwatered money plants will show signs of wilting, dry and crispy leaves, and slow growth.

Money plants prefer moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly with distilled water, placing the pot on a tray of wet pebbles, or using a humidifier near the plant. Grouping plants together can also help create a more humid microclimate.
