What is the reason for the withering of the branches of the fortune tree?

1. Lack of light

Reason: Long-term lack of light causes the money tree to lack photosynthesis and the nutrients needed for growth, causing its trunk to wither.

Solution: Move the money tree to a sunny place. Generally, it can be placed in the sun all day in winter and spring, but in summer and autumn, due to the strong light, exposure to the sun will cause damage to its leaves, so it needs to be shaded.

2. Lack of nutrients

Reason: Too little fertilizer is applied on a regular basis, resulting in the plant's roots being unable to absorb nutrients, causing the branches and trunks to wither.

Solution: The money tree needs a lot of fertilizer to grow. After new shoots grow, apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once a week, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once a month. The fertilizer should be diluted enough to avoid damaging the roots. Less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied during the growth period, otherwise it will cause excessive growth. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can promote the growth of branches and make the leaves green and shiny.

3. Too much watering

Reason: Although the money tree likes a humid climate, too much watering can easily breed bacteria, and may also cause the roots to be flooded and the branches to wither.

Solution: If too much watering causes water accumulation, drain the water in time. If the soil in the pot is too moist, you need to loosen the soil appropriately to speed up the evaporation of water. You can also place the potted plants in a ventilated place to avoid the growth of bacteria. You also need to check for root rot and remove any rotten roots.
