How to deal with the yellowing leaves of money tree? How to remedy the yellowing leaves

1. Increase sunlight

If the growing environment of the money tree is relatively dark and the plant does not get enough light for photosynthesis, the leaves will turn yellow due to lack of chlorophyll. It needs to be moved to a sunny location where it can receive sunlight throughout the day. Normally, ensure sufficient sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent the leaves from being sunburned.

2. Proper watering

Although the money tree likes a dry environment, if the soil is too dry and the plant lacks water for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow. In this case, you need to replenish water immediately, but don't water it too much at one time, so as not to affect the breathing of the roots. If the room temperature exceeds 33℃, spray the plants with water every day to provide a slightly moist environment.

3. Supplement fertilizer

The money tree does not get enough nutrients during its growth process, some plants become stunted and the leaves turn yellow. Usually during the growth period of the plant, fertilizer should be applied 2-3 times a month. Generally, urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate are mixed to make liquid fertilizer, which is then poured into the soil. Compound fertilizer can also be used. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is necessary to stop applying nitrogen fertilizer and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to help the plants survive the winter safely.

4. Remove the pot and prune the roots

If the roots of the money tree rot, it will affect the absorption of water and nutrients, and will also cause the leaves to turn yellow. When root rot is discovered, you need to take the plant out of the pot as soon as possible, remove the old soil at the roots, cut off the rotten roots with sterilized scissors, and spray carbendazim on them. After the wound is dry, prepare a new pot and new soil for planting. Usually, you should pay attention to controlling the amount of water and the concentration of fertilizer to avoid root rot again.
