Don't do these 2 things when caring for a money tree, or the leaves will wilt and turn yellow

The money tree (Pachira aquatica) is a fairly common plant; whether at home or in the office, you can often see it. Keeping a pot of money tree at home carries very good symbolism, bringing wealth luck to the household. But when caring for a money tree, many people often make some mistakes, causing the leaves of the money tree at home to always wilt and turn yellow. This not only affects the growth of the money tree, but also reduces its wealth-attracting symbolism. So, when caring for a "money tree", don't do these 2 "foolish things"! Otherwise the leaves will "wilt and turn yellow".

1. Watering too much

Although the money tree's branches and trunk are fairly large, its root system is rather fragile, so if you are not careful when watering normally, it can cause great harm to the money tree. When keeping a money tree at home, watering is something that must be done often, and some people even water a little frequently out of fear that the money tree lacks water. This approach is wrong; it easily leads to water accumulating in the pot, and after a long time, root rot is likely to occur. Once the roots are badly damaged, nutrient supply becomes a problem, and the leaves will wilt and turn yellow.

2. Over-fertilizing

In fact, not only watering can cause great harm to the roots, fertilizing is the same. Because the money tree's root system is rather fragile, problems are more likely to occur. When fertilizing, you must pay special attention: if too much fertilizer is applied, the roots cannot absorb it, and this leads to fertilizer burn on the roots. If this is done for a long time, the roots will likewise suffer great damage, causing the leaves to wilt and turn yellow.

Besides these two things, light also needs attention; do not let the money tree be exposed to overly strong light, as this will cause a scorching sensation on the leaves and make them become listless. Keeping a money tree at home still involves a lot of know-how; only by doing the daily care well can the money tree grow a bit better. Especially these 2 foolish things, never make them again.
