Should yellowing leaves on a money tree be cut off? The correct way to handle it

1. They need to be cut off

Once a money tree develops yellow leaves, the yellow leaves need to be cut off. This is because the yellowed leaves no longer contain chlorophyll or contain only a small amount of chlorophyll, so they cannot carry out photosynthesis to provide nutrients to the plant like normal leaves do. On the contrary, their presence consumes the plant's own nutrients, so they need to be cut off.

2. Pruning method

Cut or pick off the yellowed leaves from the base.

3. Follow-up care

After cutting off the yellow leaves, you need to find out the reason they turned yellow, and then adjust the conditions for growing it accordingly. For example, if you usually water it too much and that caused the yellow leaves, then water it less from now on; if you usually place it in a spot with too strong sunlight and that caused it to get sunburned, then you need to move it to a shady place to grow.
