However, many people find that after a while its leaves turn yellow and dry up, and they have no idea why. Today I will tell you what to do when the money tree's leaves turn yellow and some things to watch out for.

Money tree care methods and precautions - sunlight: The money tree originates from the Malay Peninsula and the South Sea Islands (Nanyang Islands), so its growing environment determines that it cannot tolerate cold; it likes humid and hot environments, so when growing it we should place it in a sunny spot, but the sunlight should be ample without being too intense.
Money tree care methods and precautions - watering: Watering is the most important part of the plant-growing process; whether the amount of water is large or small will have a great impact on the potted plant. For the money tree, use a spray bottle to spray the leaves and branches twice a day, morning and evening, keeping the pot moist.

Money tree care methods and precautions - fertilizing: The money tree has a relatively large demand for fertilizer. Generally, apply a light fertilizer once about every 20 days. Applying too much fertilizer when repotting can also cause the money tree's leaves to turn yellow.

In addition to the above, other causes of yellowing leaves on the money tree include: pest and disease control, incorrect soil-changing practices, dust on the leaves, poor ventilation due to crowding, and soil or water that is too alkaline, among other causes. Once you understand the main causes, I believe that dealing with yellowing money tree leaves will no longer be a difficult task for anyone. We can also keep a money tree in a newly renovated house, and it is quite good for health.
