The phrase "congratulations on your prosperity" is something everyone wants to hear during the New Year. Moreover, when people start a business or open a store, they all hope to accumulate more wealth.
Firstly, it carries the beautiful meaning of abundant wealth, and secondly, the leaves of the lucky money tree are attractive, green, and glossy. It is these two points that make this tree beloved by many. However, it's not an easy task to maintain a lucky money tree well during winter.
For some reason, the leaves of the lucky money tree turn yellow and look lifeless during winter. However, if we pay attention to a few aspects while caring for the tree, we can maintain it well. Let's hear from Xiao Hua on what aspects we should pay attention to!
1. Pay Attention to Watering
In winter, the temperature is lower and the rate of water evaporation is slower. Excessive watering can lead to root rot and yellowing leaves. Therefore, when caring for a lucky money tree in winter, friends can control the watering appropriately. It's better to water the tree when the potting soil is slightly dry. If using tap water, let it sit in the sun and warm up a bit before watering to avoid damaging the roots due to low water temperature.

2. Pay Attention to Ventilation
During winter, many people keep their doors and windows tightly closed to keep warm, which means indoor air doesn't circulate. If the lucky money tree is cared for indoors, it may be prone to diseases and pests. Therefore, when caring for a lucky money tree in winter, friends can open the windows on warm days to ventilate, which helps the tree grow better.
3. Pay Attention to Sunlight
Lucky money trees prefer sunny environments, but they can also grow in shaded areas. However, if the tree doesn't get enough sunlight for a long time, the leaves may turn yellow. Since sunlight is not very abundant in winter, friends should place the tree in a sunny environment during the cold season.
4. Pay Attention to Fertilizing
The growth rate of a lucky money tree slows down in winter. Fertilizing it now won't promote its growth and may even cause root burn and yellowing leaves. Therefore, we should avoid fertilizing it at this time and can apply some organic fertilizer in the spring of next year, which will help the tree grow better.
Today, we discussed the four aspects to pay attention to when the leaves of a lucky money tree turn yellow in winter to maintain it well. If friends have any other clever tips for caring for a lucky money tree, please share them with Xiao Hua.
