What is going on with the dried and yellowing leaves of the money tree
This article introduces the reasons for the dried and yellowing leaves of the money tree and teaches you how to solve the problem of yellow leaves in the aspect of green plant maintenance. Detailed introduction is as follows:
The money tree is a potted green plant that is most liked to be placed in areas such as living rooms, offices, and reception halls. Although many people enjoy caring for money trees, most people can't seem to keep them healthy. The most common problem with money trees is yellowing leaves.
Although many friends know that the main reason for the yellowing leaves of the money tree is overwatering, it is not just overwatering alone. There may also be the following ten reasons:
① Long-term lack of fertilizer
Due to the lack of nitrogenous fertilizer for a long time or not changing pots and applying fertilizer water, the water lacks nutrients such as nitrogen, leading to the thin and weak branches and leaves of the money tree, with thin and yellow leaves.
Countermeasures: Fertilization should be done in time, mainly with nitrogen-potassium fertilizer, gradually applying dilute and decomposed liquid fertilizer or compound flower fertilizer. In spring and autumn when the temperature is appropriate, it is best to change the pot and new soil for the money tree every one or two years to update the vitality of the soil.
② Over-fertilization
Too much of a good thing can be bad. Plants need fertilizer for growth, but too much fertilizer can burn the seedlings. It can cause new leaves to become thick and uneven, old leaves to become dry,尖 and yellow, and fall off, or even lead to the death of the entire plant.
Countermeasures: Stop fertilizing immediately, increase the amount of water changed, rinse the potting soil with tap water several times to let the fertilizer wash away, or immediately invert the pot, rinse the bulb with water, and then replant it in the pot (mainly using plain soil).
③ High heat
What is going on with the dried and yellowing leaves of the money tree
The light requirement of the money tree is relatively low to moderate, and it does not require strong sunlight. Placing it in a high-temperature area with direct strong sunlight can easily cause the burning of the tender leaf tips and edges or the yellowing and falling off of the leaves.
Countermeasures: The money tree should be maintained in a well-ventilated and brightly lit indoor area, preferably avoiding direct sunlight.
④ Excessive shading
Although the money tree enjoys shade, it is not possible without sunlight. If it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, its leaves will gradually turn yellow and become a嫩 yellow color.
Countermeasures: The same as point 3, the money tree should be kept in a well-ventilated and brightly lit area.
⑤ Soil too alkaline
The money tree is originally a woody plant that grows in tropical rainforests and prefers slightly acidic soil. If the potting soil is alkaline, the tree will not grow well, and the leaves will turn yellow.
Countermeasures: The soil for growing money trees should be chosen to be three parts loose and breathable pine needle humus soil, and during the subsequent maintenance process, use a thousand-fold solution of ferrous sulfate to water the roots at intervals. When watering flowers or green plants with tap water, be sure to let the water stand for 24 or 48 hours before use.
⑥ Poor ventilation
