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, those yellow leaves need to be cut off. This is because yellowed leaves no longer contain chlorophyll, or contain only a small amount of chlorophyll, so they cannot carry out photosynthesis like normal leaves to provide nutrients to the plant. Instead, 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. Later care

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