What to do when a money tree loses all its leaves? 1 trick to revive it and make new shoots sprout vigorously

When a money tree loses all its leaves, this once lovely money tree becomes very unsightly, and it feels as if there is no way to bring it back. Don't rush to throw it out; try the method below.

What to do when a money tree loses all its leaves?

Even if this money tree has lost all its leaves, it can still survive, so don't throw it out. First cut off all the branches and trunk. Disinfect the trimmed money tree with a diluted potassium permanganate solution, then do not water it for a period of time, and it will soon grow new shoots. When you notice the money tree has grown quite a few shoots, move it to a spot with light. The temperature must not be too low, otherwise the money tree will not sprout and grow well.

Methods to prevent a money tree from dropping its leaves:

1. Fertilize properly

(1). Insufficient nutrients: if you do not fertilize in time, once the nutrients are used up, the branches and leaves will become weak and then wither and fall.

Solution: you need to repot and change the soil. Choose a suitable flower pot, use fertile and loose potting soil, add an appropriate amount of dilute compound fertilizer and decomposed liquid fertilizer to the soil, and keep the soil rich in nutrients to promote growth.

(2). Over-fertilizing: when fertilizer is too concentrated or too much is applied, it easily causes fertilizer burn. The leaves cannot absorb the excess nutrients and will fall.

Solution: water the soil to dilute the fertilizer and let it flow out through the drainage holes. In severe cases, you need to change the soil and replant it in the pot.

2. Water reasonably

A money tree must be watered reasonably; you cannot overwater it or fail to water it. Both can cause leaf drop.

(1). Overwatering: when watered too much, the soil stays moist for a long time, the roots have difficulty breathing and rot, nutrients cannot be absorbed, and leaf drop occurs.

Solution: reduce watering in time, loosen the soil more often and keep the environment well ventilated so the water evaporates quickly. The leaf drop will gradually ease. In severe cases, you need to repot and change the soil, treat the rotten root parts, and replant.

(2). Lack of water: if the water does not soak through for a long time, the plant stays dry, the roots cannot absorb nutrients and water, the whole plant becomes short of water and nutrients, and the leaves age and fall off.

Solution: replenish water in time, water thoroughly, control the amount and frequency of watering well, and wait until the plant recovers before watering normally again.

3. Prevent pests and diseases

Pests and diseases can cause leaves to fall. After a money tree is infected by pathogens, it easily develops leaf spot disease and other problems, the leaves become diseased, and all the leaves of the money tree will fall off.

Solution: prevent pests and diseases and spray medicine in time for treatment.

4. Control temperature

If a money tree is kept for a long time in high temperatures or in a cool, shaded place, its leaves will wither and fall off.

Solution: place it in an environment with sufficient light and a suitable temperature for care, and ensure good ventilation.
