How to care for a money tree in winter to prevent it from freezing to death
This article provides an introduction to caring for a money tree in winter to prevent freezing and winter protection tips for green plants and flowers. Let's introduce it.
In winter or during the Spring Festival, many families enjoy keeping some particularly festive and auspicious potted green plants at home. The money tree is a popular choice among many people because of its lush branches and leaves that stay green throughout the year, offering good ornamental value. It looks like a small tree, bringing a vibrant and lively feeling. With many green leaves, it resembles a small forest. So, when winter arrives and the weather gets cold, how should we care for our potted money trees to help them survive the winter without losing a single leaf and maintain a good condition?
First, money trees need to be kept warm.
As a plant native to the south, compared to plants like gardenias, camellias, and azaleas, its cold resistance is relatively poor. Therefore, when the temperature drops and reaches below ten degrees, it must be kept indoors to prevent frostbite.
Money trees are very susceptible to cold. Do not overlook this point in winter. Try to place them in warmer areas of your home. Do not put them on window sills, doorways, or near cold drafts, as they can easily be frostbitten. Once frostbitten, it is difficult to recover.
Place them in a warm area with some scattered light at home. If the temperature on the balcony is also low, you can put them in a place with heating or in an air-conditioned room. Alternatively, wrap the trunk with newspaper or use a plastic film to cover the plant for insulation and cold protection.

Second, money trees need to control watering in winter.
Money trees kept indoors should be watered less frequently. It's best not to use a large pot, as a large pot with more soil can lead to a slow dry-wet cycle after watering, making it prone to root rot.
If they are kept for a long time and the leaves have dust on them, you can use a small spray bottle to spray water and rinse them. It's best not to use pure coconut coir for planting, as it can lead to unstable roots and is prone to either overly dry or overly wet conditions. It's better to add some garden soil.
Third, what to do if the money tree has yellow leaves and dead branches.
This could be due to freezing or exposure to cold winds.剪掉 some yellow leaves and dead branches promptly, try to cut them short, leaving a section of the stem, and place them in a warm area indoors. Move them indoors for care, and wait for them to grow new leaves next year.
