Want to grow a healthy money tree? Add a little something every time you water, and you'll have no yellow leaves, no rotting leaves, and glossy, emerald-green foliage.

Recently I've noticed that many gardening friends often run into dry leaves and yellow leaves when caring for their money tree. Xiao Qi will explain these situations and how to prevent them, so these problems won't come up anymore and you can grow a healthy money tree.

The first situation of yellow leaves on the money tree. The new leaves of the money tree turn yellow, with only the veins staying green, while some old leaves yellow, drop off and dry out. This is caused by an iron deficiency in the money tree. The way to prevent it is to water with a ferrous sulfate solution once every one to two months. That effectively prevents it! If it has already happened, use ferrous sulfate at a ratio of 1:1000. Mix with water and spray the leaves three times and water the roots once. With an interval of about seven to ten days, it can be effectively stopped!

The second situation of yellow leaves: lack of fertilizer. Old leaves yellow and drop off, new leaves are generally small and light green in color, and whole old leaves turn fully yellow and fall off. This means it's lacking fertilizer, the money tree. Since home growing is done in small pots. With a small pot and little soil, the money tree has no nutrients left for growth, so this situation easily appears. The solution is to regularly fertilize the money tree every month. Once or twice a month is enough. Since the money tree is grown mainly for its foliage, fertilize with a multi-element mixed fertilizer that is mainly nitrogen.

The third situation of yellow leaves, caused by too strong light. It mainly shows as the leaf edges and leaf tips starting to yellow and gradually drying out. The money tree likes plenty of scattered light. During care, if the light is too strong, the above situation easily appears. The solution is not to expose it to harsh sun, just give it plenty of scattered light.

Another situation is leaf blight and leaf spot disease on the money tree. This situation mostly appears in summer and winter. After being brought indoors in winter, if the indoor space is not ventilated, the light is insufficient, and the potting soil is too wet, root disease is caused, leading to brown patches and spots on the leaves that gradually spread to most of the leaves. The way to prevent it is to regularly spray with carbendazim mixed with water once a month in winter and summer. That can effectively prevent it! If it appears in the early stage, you can spray with carbendazim mixed with water. If it is relatively serious, you can spray with thiophanate-methyl mixed with water.

Water the money tree on the principle of watering thoroughly once the potting soil is completely dry. That way you can grow the money tree very well. No disease!
