Some plant enthusiasts like to keep some ornamental leaf plants at home, such as lucky money trees, happy trees, etc., not only for their good looks but also for their auspicious meanings. However, as they are kept, they find that these green plants just drop leaves and can't find the reason. Today, I will tell you about the reasons for the leaf dropping of green plants at home and the rescue methods.
Leaf dropping in lucky money trees
1. Poor environmental adaptation
For newly purchased lucky money trees, they may adapt poorly to the sudden change of the new environment, leading to leaf dropping, which is a normal situation.
Many lucky money trees are raised in greenhouses before being brought to the market, and the environment in greenhouses is much better than our normal environment. Therefore, the lucky money tree we just bought cannot be directly placed in a normal environment to be raised. It should be allowed to adapt in a shady and well-ventilated place for a few days first, during which the humidity of the air should be maintained. After a few days of transition, it can be raised normally.
2. Overwatering
Lucky money trees particularly dislike waterlogging. If the potted soil at home is watered too much or has excessive积水, the lucky money tree is prone to root rot. With root rot, it is difficult to absorb nutrients, so the lucky money tree will turn yellow and start to drop leaves.

In this case, you should quickly repot the lucky money tree, prune the roots, cut off the rotten parts, then disinfect them, and repot them in a new pot.
3. Low temperature
The minimum growth temperature for a lucky money tree is 8 degrees. If it is below this temperature, it is very likely to develop poorly, the plant will enter dormancy, may even freeze, and leaf dropping is a common occurrence at this time.
This situation is more common in the north during winter. In this case, you should quickly move the lucky money tree to a place near the heating indoors, or to a warmer place.
