What to do if the leaves of the fortune tree turn yellow

1. Increase watering

Reason: Water is the raw material for a series of physiological reactions of the money tree. Long-term lack of water will cause some of its physiological functions to be paralyzed, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Water the money tree appropriately and promptly to ensure the soil in the pot is moist.

2. Reduce watering

Reason: Too much water was given to the money tree, causing water accumulation in the soil. The roots of the plant are soaked in water and are easily rotten, which affects the absorption of nutrients and causes the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: If the situation is not very serious, you can raise the flower pot and place it in a ventilated place to allow the moisture in the soil to evaporate and reduce watering. If the situation is serious, the entire money tree should be removed, the rotten roots should be cut off, and then it should be placed in new soil for cultivation.

3. Reduce light

Reason: If the money tree is not shaded in the summer and is exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, its leaves will be burned and turn yellow.

Solution: Move the money tree to a place with bright light but not direct sunlight.

4. Add fertilizer

Reason: Not fertilizing the money tree for a long time may make it difficult for it to absorb enough nutrients from the soil, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Use some fertilizer or nutrient solution for the money tree. Be sure to dilute it before applying it to avoid damaging the plant due to high concentration.

5. Prune appropriately

Cause: The money tree grows too lushly, and the leaves block each other, making it difficult for each leaf to receive enough light. Or there are too many leaves, and the nutrients absorbed by the roots are difficult to supply all the leaves for normal growth, so yellow leaves may appear.

Solution: Prune in time, thin out the areas where branches and leaves are densely packed, and cut off the weak and underdeveloped branches and leaves.
