What to do if the leaves of money tree are very thin

1. Watering problem

If it is a potted money tree, if you water it too much and the soil does not drain in time, water will accumulate in the pot. Over time, the roots of the flower will rot, nutrients cannot be transported up, the leaves lack necessary nutrients, and the leaves will naturally become thinner. If fairies encounter this situation, it is best to change the pot as soon as possible, choose a porous shallow pot to facilitate drainage, and choose soil with good permeability, not sticky soil.

2. Soil Problems

The soil for potted money trees must be carefully prepared. It must be nutritious and water-permeable. You can use pine needles, peanut shells and other humus soil together with sandy soil. This kind of soil is rich in organic matter. The sand has very good permeability, which can meet the nutrient needs without causing long-term water accumulation. It also keeps the flower roots intact and the delivery pipelines unobstructed. The leaves will grow large and thick, and there will be no problem of thinning leaves.

3. Temperature problem

Money tree is a tropical plant that requires a relatively high temperature. If the temperature is too low, it will stop growing and will no longer produce new nutrients inside. It will only consume the nutrients in the body. The first to be consumed will definitely be the nutrients in the leaves. If the nutrients in the leaves only go out but not in, the leaf surface will become thinner. At this time, you need to pay attention to keeping it warm, or transplant it to a warm greenhouse, or move it to a warm heating room, and it will slowly recover.

4. Fertilization issues

Money tree needs rich fertilizer, but it should be in moderation, not too much, especially in winter. Too much fertilizer will cause the flower roots to burn, nutrients cannot be delivered, and the leaves will become thinner. Fertilization should be applied according to growth needs. Apply a small amount of fertilizer to newly grown seedlings; more fertilizer is needed during the vigorous growth period; do not apply fertilizer in winter when the temperature is too low. If the thin leaves are caused by excessive fertilization, you need to change the soil. Prepare a mixture of sand, field soil, and pine needles. This soil has good water permeability and necessary nutrients, which can slowly alleviate the problems caused by excessive fertility.
