What to do if the leaves of the money tree droop

1. Causes and measures

1. Root rot

Many times leaves wilt because the roots have rotted. You can turn the soil slightly to see if the roots have begun to rot. If this is the case, you can try buying some chlorothalonil, then dilute it with water and pour it into the flowerpot or soil. But it should be noted that before spraying the medicine, the soil must be kept dry. If the soil is wet, it will have no effect. After the roots are well established, you should water it. Water it thoroughly but not too much water.

2. Too little light

If it does not receive adequate sunlight, the leaves will be weak and look unhealthy, and the leaves will be too broad to support the plant. You can cut the branches shorter, leaving the main branches about thirty centimeters high. Move to an area where the sun can reach it but not too strong. Buy some special fertilizer and apply it on it, and it will gradually get better.

2. Maintenance points

1. The suitable temperature for its growth is 22 to 28 degrees. It likes warmth and has poor cold resistance. Except for summer, you have to wait until the soil is dry before adding water in other seasons. In summer, you have to water it in the morning and evening.

2. It can be planted by cuttings. You can cut a branch that is one to two years old, about ten centimeters long, and remove most of the leaves to reduce water evaporation. It needs a temperature of 20 to 25 degrees and very high humidity to grow roots, which takes about one to one and a half months.

3. Spray it with water of similar temperature to the surrounding area to increase the humidity of the air so that the leaves will be clean and green. Add liquid fertilizer every fifteen days, and it should be very dilute. There should not be too much nitrogen in the fertilizer, otherwise the lines on the leaves will weaken, and the light during growth cannot be too dark, otherwise the branches will grow very dense. After September, you should temporarily stop adding fertilizer to allow time for the branches to fully develop so that there is a chance of successfully overwintering.

4. Use soil with good drainage, breathable and loose properties to grow it. If there is too much water, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off. At this time, let it dry for a few days and it will recover.
