Money tree leaves turn yellow and fall off in summer
Let me introduce to you the causes of the yellowing and falling off of the leaves of the money tree in summer and the remedial methods for the yellow leaves of the money tree. Let's learn about it together.
The money tree is a common ornamental leaf plant in daily life. Its leaves are evergreen all year round, with graceful branches and leaves, and beautiful posture. There are various specifications to choose from, such as large, medium, and small potted plants. Moreover, it has a beautiful meaning of "money flowing in", so it is very popular among plant lovers.
After entering summer, many friends find that the leaves of the money tree they care for are yellowing and falling off, and some have even withered and died. What is the reason for this? The reason for the yellowing and falling off of the leaves of the money tree in summer is actually very simple. It is generally related to the following three points. When the money tree has yellow leaves and falls off, you can look for the reasons accordingly and find the cause to treat the symptoms and save the money tree.
First, it may be caused by direct strong sunlight.
The money tree is generally a plant that is cared for indoors. Diffused light can meet its growth needs. Excessive sunlight can burn its leaves. In spring and autumn, it may be moved to a balcony to care for faster growth. However, once summer comes, it should be slowly moved to indoors or areas with scattered light. The strong sunlight in summer, whether outdoor care or indoor direct sunlight, can cause leaf burns and yellowing, or even kill the money tree.
In this case, just check the lighting conditions of your care environment. If it is caused by excessive light, you only need to change the care environment. However, it is recommended that in addition to meeting the requirements of scattered light, the care environment should also ensure good ventilation. Good ventilation can reduce the occurrence of many problems.
The second point is the damage caused by excessive fertilization.
The money tree does not require a high amount of nutrients, unlike flowering plants like roses that need a lot of fertilizer. Moreover, the growth of the money tree in summer is not fast, and it is in a state of slow growth or semi-dormancy. At this time, compound fertilizer should not be used for fertilization, as improper dosage can easily cause fertilizer damage.
It is recommended to use balanced slow-release fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for fertilizing the money tree in summer. The slow-release fertilizer has a slow and long-lasting effect, which is more suitable for the money tree in summer. If fertilizer damage has already occurred, it is recommended to water promptly to dilute the fertilizer and then place it in a well-ventilated area to see if it can recover.
The third point is caused by excessive watering.
In summer, the temperature is high, and the watering frequency of most plants needs to be increased. However, some plants are exceptions, and the money tree is one of them. The stem of the money tree can store a large amount of water and is relatively drought-resistant. If the roots are in a moist state for a long time, it may cause the roots to have difficulty breathing, leading to root damage and rotting. Damaged roots cannot effectively transport water upwards, causing yellowing and falling off of the leaves, which is also the reason why the leaves turn yellow even when the soil is moist.
In summer, the money tree is in a state of slow growth or semi-dormancy, and the root activity is not strong. When watering, be sure to wait until the potting soil is mostly dry before watering, and water thoroughly. If you are worried about the money tree lacking water, you can spray water every day to increase humidity, spraying around the leaves. This can meet some of the water needs of the leaves and also increase the humidity of the air, making the leaves greener.
