What should I do if the leaves of the money tree turn yellow and fall off?

Money tree is a very popular plant, not only because its name has a good meaning, but also because its leaf shape and color itself has a certain ornamental value. However, in the process of cultivating money tree, many people find that its leaves will turn yellow and fall off. So what should we do if the leaves of money tree turn yellow and fall off? Let’s take a look below.

1. Reasons why the leaves of the money tree turn yellow and fall off

1. Excessive watering

If you water the money tree too much each time and fail to drain the water in time, water will accumulate in the soil, which will cause the roots of the money tree to breathe poorly, leading to root rot and leaf fall.

2. Environmental impact

Usually, the money trees we grow are grown in potted plants indoors. If the indoor temperature is unstable due to air conditioning or heating, and fluctuates between hot and cold, or if it is placed in a dimly lit place for a long time, the leaves of the money trees will fall off.

3. Impact of pests and diseases

This is the most difficult point to control because we cannot control the occurrence of diseases and pests and can only take appropriate prevention and control measures. If the money tree is attacked by pests and diseases, its leaves will turn yellow and become soft, and eventually fall off or even die.
