There are 4 reasons why the leaves of the money tree turn yellow. If you learn them, you won’t have yellow leaves for 10 years!

Improper watering

A large part of the yellowing of the leaves of the money tree is caused by improper watering. Although the money tree is large and has a thick trunk, its root system is pitifully small. A one-meter-tall money tree may not have as many roots as a small spider plant. If you water too much, the roots cannot absorb it and will be suffocated in the soil, causing root rot and yellowing of the leaves.

First aid measures:

① If the yellowing of leaves is very minor, you can cut off the yellow leaves, then let the money tree get more sun and reduce watering. Wait for it to slowly ease up on its own.

② If the yellowing leaves are serious, you will need to remove the plant from the pot, trim the roots, and change the pot, which is a huge project.

③ The money tree does not like too much water. It is best to water it once every two weeks. You can spray a small amount of water on the leaves at other times.

Improper lighting

Another reason for the yellowing leaves of the money tree is improper light. Too much light can cause sunburn to the leaves, causing them to turn yellow.

First aid measures:

① Move the money tree to a cool place, trim the burnt parts, spray water on the leaves, and wait for it to recover. After a week, let it get some sun.

② Be careful when exposing the money tree to the sun. It should be shaded when the sun is hottest. You can put a piece of cardboard on the glass. Also, turn the money tree 180 degrees every week to allow it to receive light evenly. Otherwise, it will grow larger on one side and smaller on the other due to light attraction, affecting its appearance.

Inadequate ventilation

Many flower lovers place their money trees near indoor windows. Huahua thinks that the location is correct, but it is wrong not to open the windows for ventilation. Poor air circulation will cause the money tree leaves to have poor exchange with the outside air, resulting in yellow leaves.

First aid measures:

① Move the money tree away from the stuffy window, cut off the yellow leaves, and then place it in a diffused light and ventilated environment for maintenance. Be careful not to continue exposing it to the sun.

② After it recovers, move it back to the window to receive sunlight. Be careful not to place it close to the glass. It is best to keep it about 1 meter away. Remember to open the window frequently for ventilation.

Improper fertilization

May to September is the growing season of the money tree, which requires a lot of fertilizer, so water and fertilizer management should be strengthened. However, the money tree has a small root system, and too much fertilizer will burn the roots and cause the leaves to turn yellow.

First aid measures:

① The most direct solution to too much fertilizer is to dilute it with plenty of water. The water will take away some of the fertilizer when it is discharged. After watering, remember to loosen the soil of the money tree to allow the water to evaporate quickly and avoid water accumulation.

② You can apply slow-release fertilizer during normal fertilization. If you cannot grasp the scale, then do not apply it. You can use diluted fish farming water, rainwater, or fermented rice water instead, which can solve both the watering and fertilizing problems at one time.
