The money tree is a plant from tropical regions, only suitable for growth in warm and humid environments. If it is exposed to cold environments for a long time, it is prone to frostbite. Many people may not know what to do if the money tree gets frostbitten, but actually, the treatment method is simple: just cut off all the frostbitten leaves and then place it in a warm environment for cultivation.
【One, What to do if the money tree gets frostbitten】
Whenever plants enter winter, they are prone to frostbite, especially plants like the money tree that are not cold-resistant and are not suitable for growth in cold areas. Moreover, they are very uncomfortable in cold environments. If the temperature is too low, the leaves of the money tree can easily get frostbitten. Therefore, if your cultivated money tree gets frostbitten, it is best to move it to a place with higher temperatures and water it properly. If the frostbite is severe, it is better to repot and cultivate it again because the heavy humidity in the soil is not suitable for plant cultivation, so this point must be noted by plant lovers.
【Two, Treatment methods after the money tree gets frostbitten】
If its leaves look like they have been scalded by boiling water, cut off the frostbitten leaves, place it in a warmer environment, and then change its pot. This will allow the money tree to recover quickly. Moreover, if the frostbite is severe, careful maintenance is necessary.

So, if the plant has rotted and collapsed, pull it out of the pot, gently scrape off the rotten roots with a sharp knife until you can see signs of life. Place it in a sunny spot to dry for a week and then repot it. After half a month, water it.
【Three, Recovery measures after the money tree gets frostbitten】
After frostbite in winter, it is not advisable to prune extensively immediately to avoid exacerbating the frost damage. If branches are broken by snow and ice, they should be bundled up and supported with stakes or hanging branches to retain and save the damaged branches as much as possible. Generally, leaves or dry branches that have frozen should be pruned later in the spring when the plants start to sprout, adhering to the principle of "heavy pruning for severe damage and light pruning for minor damage."
If it is kept in an environment below 15 degrees for a long time, do not water or spray water, and place it in a bright location. Watering in such an environment will cause the plants to rot and collapse one by one. In such cases, pull it out of the pot and gently scrape the rotten roots until the signs of life are visible. Place it in a sunny spot for a week and then repot it. Water it after half a month. I have used this method many times, and it is very effective.
