Water your money tree like this, and it won't get yellow leaves or root rot, and it will sprout new shoots every day

The money tree has a very good meaning: bringing in wealth and treasure, prospering and thriving! Because of its special name and meaning, it is loved by many flower lovers. Buying a pot of money tree and placing it at home to guard the house and attract wealth is really great.

The money tree likes a high-temperature, high-humidity environment and has poor cold resistance. Seedlings are afraid of frost, while adult trees can tolerate light frost. In the winter in the north, it must be moved indoors to protect it from the cold. It likes breathable, fertile, acidic sandy soil and cannot be grown in alkaline soil or heavy clay soil with poor air permeability.

During cultivation, pay attention to the following important issues:

1. Watering

Watering is an important key point in daily care! If watered too much, the roots of the money tree will be in a damp and unbreathable environment, and the roots cannot breathe and stretch freely. Over time, this easily causes root rot, and the plant will not grow vigorously, showing yellow leaves.

If too much water is given and the soil humidity is too high, put it in a ventilated and breathable place, loosen the soil for it, and with ventilation plus sunlight, the plant will recover in about 10 to 15 days. You can also place an absorbent cotton cloth on the pot soil and replace it once it is soaked through; this can effectively help it drain excess water. If the pot soil is really too wet and no method works, then change the soil. Protecting the flowers is important.

If you often forget to water the flowers and the plant is lacking water for a long time, in order to survive, the plant will activate its own protective system, and yellowing and falling leaves will appear. At this time, the plant has no energy and looks wilted. Usually, pay attention to watering it normally. If you keep it, you should care for it, right?

2. Lighting issues

The money tree likes sunlight, but it cannot tolerate direct strong light. Either exposure to the scorching sun or being left in a shady place for a long time without moving it will cause yellow leaves

If the leaves turn yellow due to sun exposure, the leaf moisture evaporates severely and sunburn occurs. It is difficult to recover in a short time, and the yellowed leaves will gradually fall off. Move it to a semi-shady place or a place with scattered light, water it appropriately, and slowly it will grow new tender shoots.

For ornamental purposes, if it is placed in a corner for a long time and the plant cannot receive sunlight for a long time, the leaves will become dull and gradually turn yellow and fall off. This is unreasonable cultivation. You must give it sunlight for it to shine brightly.

3. Fertilization issues

When growing flowers, impatient people will worry excessively for the plant: will it lack fertilizer? If it grows too fast, will it be malnourished? However, excessive fertilization is also not acceptable. After the plant absorbs enough nutrients, the excess fertilizer remaining in the pot soil will burn the plant's roots, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

If the leaves turn yellow due to too much fertilization, take the plant out of the pot soil and check whether the roots have rotted. If so, cut off the rotted roots and replace the soil to grow it again. If the situation is relatively mild, you can dilute the fertility in the soil by watering, and after a period of time, the situation will ease somewhat.

4. Temperature

The suitable temperature for the money tree is 20°C to 30°C. It is uncomfortable when the temperature is too high or too low. If the temperature is too high, transpiration is too strong, and the water and nutrients supplied by the roots are insufficient, so the leaves will gradually turn yellow and fall off. If it is too low, below 16°C, it will also cause the leaves to turn yellow, or even cause the plant to die.

Therefore, pay attention to its temperature and adjust it appropriately to avoid the plant getting sick.

5. Pruning

If the money tree grows vigorously with luxuriant branches and leaves, the branches and leaves hidden at the bottom will also turn yellow and fall off due to insufficient light and poor ventilation.

Therefore, if the growth is too vigorous, be sure to prune it in time. You can remove excess branches. There is no need to be reluctant; it will soon produce new shoots. Once the plant is ventilated and breathable, its shape will also be more attractive.

If you want to grow a money tree well, pay attention to these details in daily care. Remember these, and your money tree will not have yellow leaves. It will be emerald green and glossy, full of vitality. Go and try it.
