How to water a money tree in summer? Master the method to avoid root rot and yellow leaves

1. High water demand in summer

Overall, the demand in summer is relatively high. At this time its growth rate is much faster than in other seasons, so its water demand increases accordingly. That means the amount of water given must also be adjusted accordingly, to keep the soil at a suitable level of moisture.

2. Watering method

(1) First, the watering frequency. Generally, two to three times a week. However, the specific situation varies. Soil drainage differs, and the plant's specific tolerance to waterlogging also differs, both of which affect the frequency. So you can also go by the state of the soil. Once the soil turns pale and dry, it means it is time to water. And each time, water thoroughly.

(2) Besides watering, you can also use some nutrient solution, about once every ten days or so. It can both add nutrients and help the leaves become greener.

(3) In addition, evaporation is relatively high in summer, so besides watering, you also need to mist. Only with enough moisture will its growth be favored.

3. Points to note

Whether watering or misting, you need to pay attention to the specific time; it cannot be in the evening. Because evaporation in the evening is too weak and ventilation is poor, once you water too much it easily causes the leaves to turn yellow, and in serious cases it can cause root rot or even death. It is best to choose the morning and water in a bright, well-ventilated place.
