Don't Put Your Money Tree in These 2 Spots, or It Will Turn Yellow and Bring No Wealth

Many flower lovers enjoy growing money trees (Pachira aquatica), and I have one at home too. Because of its wealth-bringing symbolism, evergreen leaves all year round, and the fact that it grows beautifully without much care, the money tree is very popular among flower lovers. When caring for a money tree, yellow leaves and root rot can also occur. Besides improper fertilizing and watering, it may be caused by bad feng shui, so pay attention to feng shui when growing plants.

Feng Shui Taboos for Money Tree Care

1. A money tree must not directly face the toilet

The money tree symbolizes attracting wealth and prospering financially, so it must not face the toilet. Feng shui emphasizes direct confrontation, so the money tree should be placed in the wealth position. Generally, for a room facing south, the wealth position is in the southwest and due north; for a room facing east with its back to the west, the wealth position is in the due south, northwest, and southeast. So the money tree should be placed according to the wealth position.

2. A money tree must not block a passageway or be placed under a beam

The money tree is a large plant, but it must not be placed under a beam or in the entryway. Having a beam overhead is itself bad, as it is believed to scatter wealth. Also, when placed in these positions, the plant can hardly receive light and will develop yellow leaves. The money tree must not block indoor passageways either, to avoid blocking wealth luck.

3. How to prevent yellow leaves on a money tree

The money tree needs fertile, loose soil that is breathable and water-retentive. You can choose slightly acidic soil, then mix leaf mold, garden soil, and pine needles in a 2:2:1 ratio. Also pay attention to shading it to avoid direct sunlight, which causes leaves to turn yellow. Do not water too frequently, to avoid root hypoxia and root rot; watering once is enough.

That's all for the money tree knowledge sharing. Flower lovers growing money trees must pay attention to feng shui, be sure to place the money tree in the wealth position, and not let a beam press down on it, so the money tree can bring even more wealth.
