What to do if the leaves of the money tree turn yellow

reason

Unsuitable soil

The soil in the pot of the money tree has not been replaced for a long time, causing the soil to become compacted, leading to poor root growth. If the roots are in a state of poor breathing and lack of oxygen for a long time, the roots will gradually rot.

Improper water and fertilizer

The watering is inconsistent, the fertilizer is too concentrated and has too much nitrogen, and the soil environment changes so much that the roots of the money tree are very unstable in absorbing nutrients and water, and cannot grow normally.

Improper environment

If you have air conditioning at home, if you place it in an air-conditioned room in summer and winter, the leaves will turn yellow because the air is too dry. In addition, improper ventilation is also an important reason for yellow leaves. If plants are grown indoors for a long time and the environment is stuffy, the plants will develop yellow leaves due to lack of oxygen.

Workaround

Cut off rotten roots

When you find that the leaves of the money vine have turned yellow, the first reason that comes to mind is root rot. Remove the money vine from the pot in time, cut off the rotten parts, and replace them with some loose soil, such as peat soil or expanded clay. After changing the soil, water it thoroughly, place it in a cool place and change the pot. Just wait for the money tree to grow roots!

Bright light

Money tree is a foliage plant. Its greatest ornamental value lies in its leaves. It requires a certain amount of light for normal growth. If the money tree turns yellow due to lack of light after being kept indoors for a long time, cut off the yellow leaves and move it to the sun to receive sunlight. However, the intensity of the sunlight should not be too strong and appropriate shade should be provided in the summer.

Ventilation and moisturizing

If people are kept in a closed environment for a long time, they will face danger due to lack of oxygen. The same is true for plants. The most intuitive manifestation of plants is yellowing leaves. So remember to place the money bag directly outdoors when the weather is warm. A natural environment is more conducive to its growth. In addition, if you raise the plant indoors in an air-conditioned room, be sure to keep it away from the air outlet of the air conditioner. Put a basin of water next to the air conditioner, or spray water on the plant frequently.

Apply light fertilizer frequently

When fertilizing the money bag at home, you may choose granular fertilizer and bury it directly in the soil to let its fertilizer effect evaporate slowly. However, the amount of fertilizer should not be controlled and it is easy to apply too much fertilizer. In the case of excessive fertilizer, pick out the incompletely dissolved fertilizer in time, then rinse the soil with plenty of clean water, and ventilate the soil to let it dry as soon as possible!
