I. Causes of yellowing money tree leaves

1. If only a few leaves have turned yellow, don't worry - this is caused by the plant's normal metabolism. Just like the fallen leaves drifting down in autumn, a few old leaves of the money tree will also turn yellow normally.

2. Sunburn from direct strong light. If it is exposed to direct strong light for a long time, the leaves will also turn yellow.
