Money Tree When healthy, the leaves are particularly green. If you find that the leaves are constantly yellowing, you should check whether the old leaves are yellow and whether the leaves at the bottom of the plant are yellow. If only a few old leaves turn yellow and wither, that is normal and belongs to the normal aging of leaves.
You can continue to observe later. If the leaves are yellow and do not spread and do not appear on new leaves, it is normal for to metabolize .
There is another situation to be noted that some new varieties of money trees have brocade leaves. For example, the new leaves are yellow, and the leaves of old leaves have yellow brocade spots.
1. Improper watering
More or less water will cause the leaves of the money tree to turn yellow.
. More water
A lot of water is a common cause of yellowing leaves of money tree. Before watering potted money tree every time, it is recommended to check whether the soil is completely dry.
Generally, you can water it thoroughly once when it is 3 to 5 cm under the soil. If you really don’t know how often you water it, touch the topsoil before each watering, and then water it if it is very dry, or insert a bamboo stick on the edge of the soil, and pull it up before watering each time.
You should also pay attention to the observation. After watering the potted money tree, the soil will be relatively wet after two weeks. It may be that the planted flower pot is too big and there is too much soil, which will cause the potting soil to not dry.
or the pot soil is too sticky and needs to be improved. You can consider changing it to a smaller pot, and moving it to a ventilated and translucent place to dry the pot soil in time.
If you find that the leaves of the money tree are starting to turn yellow and hang low, and the soil is still very wet, there is a risk of root rot. You should remove it in time (the potted plant is turned upside down and repot it) Check whether the roots are rotten.
Excessive water causes root rot, which can also cause large-scale yellowing of leaves. The situation shown is that the leaves are not energetic and the soil is still relatively moist.
can open the soil and smell a little rotten. The bottom of its rhizome will also turn mushy and the color will become darker. If root rot is found, clean the surrounding soil and cut off all the rotten roots. If only a small part of it rots, you can clean the rotten part, then pour it thoroughly through the oxalin solution, dry the wounds in time, move it to a better ventilated place, and dry the soil as soon as possible.
. Low water
If the soil is dry for a long time, it will also cause the leaves of the Money Tree to turn yellow, but this situation can be saved. If you don’t water for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow, and wither will appear. The soil is particularly dry, and its leaves will also become shriveled and thin, and the leaves will also become wrinkled.
2. The root system withered
The leaves of the money tree rot and the leaves will turn yellow on a large area. If they wither, they will also cause the leaves to keep turning yellow.
If your money tree has not grown new leaves, it is possible that the root system has withered and there is no way to grow new roots. At this time, you must depot in time and switch to a new potting soil. You can pour it through the rooting solution.
3. Improper pot replacement
No need to repot frequently for maintenance of money trees. Every time, you have to wait until the roots are covered with soil in the pot, and then change to a larger flower pot. Especially in environments that are not very ventilated and light-transmitting, there is a lack of light and it grows very slowly. It usually changes the basin every two or three years.
If the money tree is well maintained, it has more scattered light, and the environment is warm, it grows very fast, and the root system is already covered with pot soil, then it will also have yellow leaves, which is that it grows too crowded.
4. Insufficient lighting
Money tree is a very shade-tolerant plant. It will not have any problems after two or three weeks after long-term maintenance in an environment with insufficient light. However, if it is maintained in a place with lack of light for a long time, its leaves will continue to turn yellow, the leaves will become worse, and new leaves will not grow.
If this happens, move to a place with a little light in time. You should gradually increase the light and slowly move to a place with more scattered light.
. New leaves turn yellow
Newly grown leaves of the money tree are generally light green rather than yellow. If the newly grown leaves are yellow, they generally lack nutrients, and may also lack iron and potassium. If the soil is still relatively fertile, or if you pay attention to supplementing fertilizers, it may be that the soil is alkaline.
Sometimes the soil is humid for a long time, but the environment is relatively good. The leaves will be yellow when they grow, but they will slowly return to green.
. Fertilizing too strong
Money tree has very little demand for fertilizer. Generally, fertilizer is supplemented every three or four weeks, and can only be supplemented during the growing season. If you don’t know how to fertilize it, it is generally enough to supplement sustained-release fertilizer every year or six months.
During the rapid growth season, such as the temperature between 18 and 25 degrees, a lower concentration of fertilizer can be supplemented every three or four weeks, and the fertilization concentration is twice as low as usual.
Fertilization is too strong, which will cause yellowing of leaves. At this time, rinse the soil in the pot in time and rinse the soil in the pot with water for about one minute.
Tips:
The leaves of the money tree are yellow, and you should also check whether there are pests and diseases, whether the leaves have lesions and spots, and whether they are spreading. These are all easy to see.
