Yellow leaves on a money tree: use ferrous sulfate properly, misuse causes great harm

Can a money tree use ferrous sulfate? What should you pay attention to? First we need to know that the money tree is also a southern flower, and it also likes acidic soil. If grown in the south, the chance of it lacking ferrous sulfate is somewhat smaller, that is, because the rain and everything there is all acidic. And the environment is also suitable, but when it comes to the north, the water is on the alkaline side and the soil is also on the alkaline side, so you must regularly use ferrous sulfate to adjust the pH of the soil.

When using ferrous sulfate you must be careful, because ferrous sulfate must not be used in too large an amount. If you fail to get the concentration right or the frequency right, it will lead to the opposite result. Either it causes root rot, or it causes black spots to appear on the leaves. The money tree likes slightly acidic soil. If we use too much ferrous sulfate, all kinds of situations will appear. The ratio for using ferrous sulfate is 1:1000. After mixing it with water and dissolving it, before its color has turned brown, pouring it directly into the potting soil is best. After watering it in this way, it can absorb it quickly and is also less likely to oxidize. After it oxidizes, its nutrients cannot be absorbed by the roots, and instead it will cling to the roots and cause the roots' absorption function to decline. So you must mix it well and then use it directly.

Another thing is that when you use it, using it at most once a month is enough, because its demand for this ferrous sulfate is very small, and one use can last a long time. If used frequently, it will lead to bad results. You must control the amount well. As much as possible, do not use it to spray the leaves, because after we mix it with water and dissolve it, it is hard to control how much gets sprayed on the leaves. If you spray too much, the amount becomes too large, it cannot be absorbed, or if it stays on the leaves for a long time it will cause black leaves. You must use the watering method, do not use the spraying method, you cannot control it. This is one of the most common situations that occur when using it
