The money tree is a common indoor foliage plant. It is not only ornamental, but also has beautiful meanings such as good fortune and prosperous business, and is very popular. However, many people often experience yellowing and falling leaves when caring for the money tree because they do not know how to water it. So is it caused by lack of water or too much water? Let’s learn more about it below. Does the yellowing and falling of money tree leaves indicate lack of water or too much water? Both are possible. If there is a long-term lack of water, making the soil in the pot too dry, the leaves of the money tree will turn yellow and fall off due to lack of water, and even all the leaves of the plant will turn yellow and fall off. On the contrary, if you water too much or too frequently, root rot and yellow leaves will easily occur. The symptoms are that the old leaves do not change significantly, the young leaves turn yellow and gradually spread. How to water the money tree correctly? 1. Watering time The climate is mild in spring and autumn, and the temperature is more suitable for the growth of money trees. Watering is also more casual, and do not water them deliberately. It is recommended to water them in the morning. If you water them at night, keep the planting environment well ventilated. In the hot summer, you can water them in the morning and evening, but remember not to water them at noon. In the cold winter, when the temperature is lower, you can choose to water them at noon to reduce damage to the root system. 2. Watering frequency (1) Spring and Autumn: Spring and autumn are the peak growth seasons for the Money Tree. You can water the Money Tree once every week. If it is a rainy day, you need to stop watering, pay attention to the moisture of the soil, and do a good job of drainage in time. (2) Summer: The temperature is high in summer and water evaporates quickly, so the frequency of watering should be increased. Generally water 1-2 times a day, and pay attention to spraying water to keep it moist. (3) Winter: In winter, the money tree is dormant and does not require much water. It only needs to be kept slightly moist. Generally, it should be watered once every 2-3 months. 3. Watering method Use sprinkler irrigation or water slowly along the edge of the pot to avoid directly washing the leaves. 4. Watering (1) Pay attention to water quality: The money tree prefers acidic soil and water. You can collect rainwater or use fish water for watering. (2) Pay attention to thorough watering: Each time you water, make sure the water can penetrate to the bottom to promote root growth. (3) Grasp the timing: Touch the soil surface with your hand and water only when it feels dry. Or if the leaves wilt, it means that there is insufficient water and watering is needed in time. (4) Avoid water accumulation: Check promptly after watering to ensure good drainage at the bottom of the pot to prevent water accumulation. If the roots have already accumulated water and rotted, trim the rotten parts in time and replace them with new soil. In general, lack of water or too much water will cause the leaves of the money tree to turn yellow and fall off. But whether there is a lack of water or too much water, the key is to adjust the watering strategy in time and master the correct watering method to promote the healthy growth of the money tree.
