The money tree leaves are turning yellow and dying
Here are some small knowledge of flower cultivation for netizens to answer why the leaves of the money tree are turning yellow and dying, the details are as follows:
During the New Year (last January), a friend gave me a big money tree, which was very tall, almost touching the ceiling.
When I got it, there were many leaves that were very green, but during the cold winter in Shanghai, the leaves of the money tree slowly turned yellow, and leaves fell off every day, and they all turned yellow in no time (almost a month).
I thought it was worth a try, anyway, I treated it as if it were a horse that was already dead.
1. I dug it out, cut off one-third of it, and then bought a candle for five cents, lit it and dripped it on the top cut.
2. I bought a little nutrient soil and mixed it with garden soil, planted shallowly, just covering the roots, because I was afraid of suffocating the roots.
3. Placed in a well-ventilated and diffused light area, do not water when it is not dry (rather dry than wet, the money tree is not afraid of dryness), wait until the top ten centimeters of soil is as dry as sand before watering, basically watering once a month, occasionally spraying some water on the trunk.
About four months later, when it was almost time for the Meiyu season (June), I noticed that there were sprouts.
The sprouts of the money tree are growing faster and faster!
I didn't expect this money tree with yellow leaves that was almost dead to be miraculously saved!
Finally, let's summarize at the beginning of summer:
1. The purpose of covering the cut surface is to prevent the plant from drying out due to evaporation of water, this method is often used in grafting, in addition to candles, you can also use film, paint, etc. to cover.
2. The money tree not only has very weak roots but also a fat main stem, which stores a lot of water, so if the ventilation at home is not good enough, it is recommended to control watering (especially in winter), and use soil with good drainage and breathability to grow the money tree.
