Can the fruit of the fortune tree be eaten? Why are the leaves turning white?

1. Can I eat it?

The fruit of the money tree can be eaten, but only when it is unripe. It can be eaten when the fruit is green, but if it grows mature and turns black, it cannot be eaten. Generally, people will take out the seeds when they are past maturity and wait for the right time to plant them. The money tree usually has to grow to a certain age to bear fruit. When it is kept at home, the growth of the plant will be restricted by the soil in the pot, so in most cases it will not bear fruit.

2. Reasons for whitening leaves

1. Disease: When the plant is infected with powdery mildew, white powder will appear on the leaves, making it look like the leaves have turned white. Cut off the white leaves as soon as possible, disinfect the breeding environment, and finally spray the pest control drugs.

2. Pests: If the plant is infested with cottony scale, the leaves will turn very white. Similarly, you need to cut off the white leaves and then spray them with omethoate. In addition, ventilation should be strengthened during normal maintenance. If the environment is closed, it is easy for insects to breed or be infected with diseases.

3. Exposure to the sun: It does not like exposure to strong sunlight. This situation will also occur if it is exposed to direct sunlight in summer. It should be shaded so that it can receive an appropriate amount of scattered light.
