How do you revive a dead money tree? Practical rescue methods to share

1. Replanting

You can try to save a dying money tree by cutting the roots and replanting it. First, you need to take the money tree out of the soil and check whether its root system has already rotted. If its roots have started to rot, use sterilized scissors to cut off all the blackened and rotten root hairs.

Note that you must not be soft-hearted here; you must completely cut off the roots that have already rotted, otherwise it will affect the other still-healthy roots. If the root rot is very severe, you can cut off the entire root system.

After that, treat the plant with carbendazim, then soak it in rooting powder to increase the rooting speed. Finally, replant the plant in fresh, moist soil, place it in a semi-shaded environment, maintain a certain humidity, and wait for it to grow new roots.

2. Chopping back

If the roots of the money tree are fine, you can try to save it by chopping it back. First, cut off all the branches and leaves of the plant while keeping the buds. Then place the plant in a warm, bright spot for a period of time and wait for it to slowly recover. During this period, you can spray some water on the plant to increase the humidity of the air.
