What to do if there are white spots on the leaves of the fortune tree

1. Cut off diseased leaves

If there are white spots on the leaves of the money tree, it is definitely sick. But no matter what kind of disease or pest it is, the infected leaves may also infect other branches and leaves, so they must be cut off first. After cutting them off, you can observe whether it is a disease or an insect. In addition, the cut leaves must be handled in a timely manner. It is recommended to burn the diseased leaves to prevent the bacteria from remaining in the air and continuing to infect the plants.

2. Spraying pesticides

After picking off all the diseased leaves of the money tree, you should start spraying pesticides. Generally, carbendazim solution is used, which has few side effects and can not only prevent and treat diseases, but also has the effect of sterilization. Generally, spray it twice a week and the effect will be seen in half a month to a month.

3. Optimize the environment

The disease of the money tree is largely due to problems with its growing environment. The plants should be placed in a well-lit and ventilated place in time, which can ensure sunlight and avoid poor air circulation. At the same time, provide appropriate shade in the summer to avoid exposure to the sun. Move it indoors in winter and keep warm to prevent frostbite.

4. Strengthen maintenance

In addition to environmental improvements, reasonable application of water and fertilizer can also help improve the disease resistance of the money tree. It should be noted that you cannot water the plants after spraying the flowers to prevent the medicine from melting into the water and causing root rot. You can water the plant after it is healthy. Do not water too much, just make the soil moist. When applying fertilizer, you should choose compound fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium, which can effectively improve resistance once a month. If you grow it at home, avoid using too much nitrogen fertilizer to prevent the plants from growing too tall.
