The treatment of the problem of yellow leaves on the money tree needs to take corresponding measures based on the specific reasons. Here are some common reasons and corresponding solutions: 1. Check and adjust watering
Problem: Improper watering is a common cause of yellowing leaves on the money tree. Excessive or insufficient water can affect the health of roots, leading to yellowing of leaves.
resolvent:
-Moderate watering: Keep the soil moist but not too wet, following the principle of "see dry, see wet", that is, water again when the soil surface is dry to avoid water accumulation.
-Check soil: When unsure if watering is needed, gently excavate the surface soil and feel the moisture in the lower layer. 2、 Adjust lighting
Problem: Insufficient or excessive direct sunlight can lead to yellowing of the money tree leaves.
resolvent:
-Provide sufficient scattered light: Place the wealth tree in a well lit area, but avoid direct sunlight, especially the scorching noon sun. Indoor breeding can choose a location close to the window.
-Winter lighting: The winter lighting is weak and requires better lighting conditions. You can place the lucky tree in a sunny place. 3、 Supplement nutrients
Problem: Long term lack of nutrients can lead to poor growth of the lucky tree and the appearance of yellow leaves.
resolvent:
-Regular fertilization: Choose compound fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements, apply them every month, but be careful not to overuse them to avoid burning the plants.
-Fertilization during the growing season: In the spring and summer seasons, when the money tree grows vigorously, the frequency of fertilization can be appropriately increased, such as once a month. 4、 Prevention and control of pests and diseases
Problem: Diseases and pests such as red spider mites, aphids, leaf spot diseases, etc. can cause damage to the leaves of the lucky tree, resulting in yellow leaves.
resolvent:
-Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the leaves of the money tree, and take timely measures once signs of pests and diseases are found.
-Biological control: Prioritize the use of biological control methods, such as introducing natural enemies or using biological agents.
-Chemical control: If necessary, low toxicity insecticides or fungicides can be used for spraying, but attention should be paid to medication safety. 5、 Adjust temperature and humidity
Problem: Money trees prefer warm and humid environments, and high or low temperatures as well as dry air can cause yellowing of their leaves.
resolvent:
-Maintain a suitable temperature: The indoor temperature should be kept between 15-25 ℃ to avoid temperatures that are too low or too high.
-Increase air humidity: Regularly spray water mist on the wealth tree to increase air humidity. 6、 Reasonable pruning
Problem: Overly lush branches and leaves or long-term lack of pruning can lead to insufficient light in the inner chamber branches and leaves, causing yellowing.
resolvent:
-Timely pruning: Trim excessively lush branches and leaves to ensure ventilation and light transmission of the plants.
-Trimming yellow leaves: Trimming already yellowed leaves to reduce plant burden and promote new leaf growth.
Treating the problem of yellow leaves on the money tree requires starting from multiple aspects, including adjusting watering, lighting, nutrients, pest control, temperature and humidity control, and reasonable pruning. Only by comprehensively considering and taking corresponding measures can we effectively solve the problem of yellow leaves and restore the vitality of the wealth tree.
