What to do when the leaves of the发财树 (Fortune Tree) turn brown at the edges
An article sharing some knowledge with you about what to do when the leaves of the Fortune Tree turn brown at the edges and the methods to save the plant, as well as some related introductions to green plants and flowers. Let's learn about it together.
The leaves of the Fortune Tree at home have started to turn yellow for no reason, beginning from the edges of the leaves, gradually becoming withered and yellow. The yellowing of the Fortune Tree's leaves is a completely different condition from browning at the edges. Both are caused by improper care. If the entire leaf turns yellow, it's a more serious problem. However, if only the edges are brown, it's relatively easy to solve.
Firstly, let's talk about the issue of the Fortune Tree's leaves browning at the edges.
During the summer and autumn seasons every year, as temperatures rise and the air becomes particularly dry, high temperatures accelerate the evaporation of water. The surface of the ground is dry, and the water in the topsoil is completely evaporated. Moreover, the indoor environment in our homes is even drier. In such a dry environment, the water inside the Fortune Tree's leaves evaporates rapidly, leading to the issue of browning at the edges.
The best solution for browning at the edges is to spray water every day, increasing the humidity around the Fortune Tree. In a relatively humid environment, the leaves can absorb more water, alleviating the issue of browning at the edges. Spraying water on the leaves with a spray bottle every morning can maintain the leaf humidity and last for at least a whole day.
For foliage plants, spraying water is the best way to maintain humidity, especially in the northern regions of China, where the humidity is low and rainfall is scarce. The indoor environment is not very favorable for the growth of foliage plants. To ensure the healthy growth of the plants and keep the leaves lush, persistent daily watering is the best way to maintain humidity.

About the yellowing of the Fortune Tree's leaves
Poor ventilation in a large environment, reduced oxygen levels in the air, and the soil being compacted and not breathable can lead to the yellowing of the Fortune Tree's leaves. Here we need to understand first that sometimes the yellowing of plant leaves is not caused by a lack of nutrients or trace elements in the soil. The nutrients in the soil are sufficient to support the plant's growth, and the so-called lack of fertilizer is not very likely.
Proper ventilation is crucial for plant care. A ventilated environment can enhance the oxygen content in the soil, and plant roots also require oxygen. Especially in the growing seasons like summer and autumn, plants need a lot of oxygen for growth. Both the roots inside the soil and the leaves need a certain amount of oxygen.
In summer, try to place the plants at home near the windows where air flow is higher, allowing for the exchange of oxygen. Opening the windows is very beneficial for plant growth. Also, pay attention to watering more frequently in summer, as high temperatures accelerate the evaporation of water. Don't wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering. Summer is a special season, and the soil should not be left dry for extended periods.
Watering and spraying are different in nature. The purpose of watering is to maintain the plant's water loss, while the purpose of spraying is to maintain the plant's humidity. Watering should still be done when necessary.
The above information about what to do when the leaves of the Fortune Tree turn brown at the edges and the methods to save the plant, hope it helps you!
