If flower lovers see the money tree's leaves curling, don't take it lightly. This is the money tree's signal to you for help. If you ignore it any longer, it will wither and die. Some flower lovers don't know the reason, so Huahua will help you analyze it!
1. Strong fertilizer applied + not enough watering after fertilizing
Spring has arrived, and it is exactly the peak growing season for the money tree. Some flower lovers, in order to make it grow lush and glossy green, applied a lot of fertilizer, but after fertilizing, the follow-up watering was not enough, which causes the newly grown leaves to curl.
How to solve it?
Pour a large amount of water into the money tree's potting soil, and water thoroughly several more times each day, so the excess fertilizer flows out of the drainage holes with the water. Then place the money tree in a well-ventilated spot, and remove the leaves that have already curled.
How should the money tree be fertilized normally?
When fertilizing the money tree normally, first look at its growth state. If the branches and leaves are upright and full of vitality, water with nutrient solution once a week. You can use fruit peel nutrient solution, but dilute it 20 times before use; if the growth is not vigorous, water with fertilizer solution once every 2 weeks.
2. Contracted pests or diseases
If the money tree has pests or diseases, the leaves will also curl. Open up the curled leaves and carefully check whether there are insects.
How to solve it?
If you see insects, remove them quickly. You can cut off the leaves with insects, then spray insecticide on all the leaves, so the insects die completely!
3. Placed in a spot with uneven light
If the money tree's placement spot has sunlight only on one side, while the other side rarely gets sunlight, then because plants are phototropic, the leaves will become twisted.
How to solve it?
The money tree is considered a fairly shade-tolerant flower, but it is best placed under scattered light, such as in a bright living room, and the light at the placement spot should be even.
Snake plant leaves turning yellow and wrinkled, what to do?

The snake plant (Sansevieria) is a little expert at absorbing formaldehyde, and it is also very easy to grow. Some flower lovers, during care, found that the snake plant's leaves turned yellow and wrinkled. Why is that?
1. Lack of water
If you water too little, the snake plant lacks water, and the leaves will turn yellow and wrinkled. When the potting soil is dry, water it, and water thoroughly. Don't water only halfway.
2. Too much watering, causing waterlogging
Watering too much will cause waterlogging, hinder the snake plant's root respiration, and cause the leaves to turn yellow and wilt. If the air is relatively humid, the snake plant's transpiration will decrease, so reduce watering.
3. Sudden drop in temperature
If after watering thoroughly, there is a sudden late spring cold snap and the temperature drops sharply, the roots will be frozen in the cold water, which can also cause the leaves to wrinkle. If you have already moved the snake plant outdoors, pay attention to temperature changes in time.
4. Too much fertilizer
Some flower lovers think that since spring has arrived, they should apply more fertilizer to make the snake plant grow quickly, which results in fertilizer burn and causes the leaves to turn yellow and wrinkled. If too much fertilizer was applied, you can change the soil or pour water into the potting soil to wash the fertilizer away.
Clivia leaves turning yellow, what to do?
C o m p l e t e G u i d e t o F l o w e r G r o w i n g
Clivia's leaves are thick and green, and its flowers are gorgeous, and it is not hard to keep alive. But many flower lovers say that Clivia's leaves turn yellow very easily, and they don't know whether it is sick. Today, Huahua will talk about some of the most common signs and causes of yellowing in Clivia!
1. Sometimes yellowing leaves are normal
When Clivia carries out normal metabolism, its leaves can also turn yellow. For example, when it has just been potted, after a period of adaptation it will slowly recover, so there is no need to worry too much. As in the picture below, slowly turning yellow from the leaf base to the whole leaf is normal.
2. Yellowing from lack of fertilizer
If it starts from the leaf tip and slowly turns yellow toward the base, this is yellowing caused by lack of fertilizer, in the opposite direction from normal yellow leaves. Flower lovers can apply some fermented chicken manure or cake fertilizer to make the Clivia become glossy green!
3. Yellowing caused by pathogens
If round, concentric-ringed, polygonal and various other spots appear on the leaves, in colors such as brown, black, red, gray, white, etc., then it is caused by pathogen infection.
If it is confirmed that the yellowing is caused by pathogens, promptly isolate the sick Clivia from other flowers, and at the same time spray carbendazim on the leaves once every 7 days. After spraying 2-3 times, the symptoms will be brought under control.
The reasons for leaves curling and turning yellow,
Huahua will introduce them here for now.
