Can the fortune tree recover after all its leaves have fallen off?

1. Can it be recovered?

Even if all the leaves of the money tree fall off, it can be restored. First of all, you need to prune the branches to reduce the waste of water and nutrients. Then use potassium permanganate for disinfection, which needs to be diluted to pink before use. Do not water it after that. Wait for it to grow new shoots, then put it in a sunny place to help it grow.

2. Prevent leaf drop

1. Adequate light: As a green plant, the money tree naturally requires long-term light. However, shade is required in hot seasons, otherwise the leaves will fall off due to excessive exposure to the sun. Especially in summer, the sunny side is easy to lose water and dry up.

2. Ventilation and moisture retention: The money tree has high requirements for ventilation. Good air circulation allows it to grow more vigorously. Otherwise, it will cause leaf fall and may also lead to various diseases and insect pests. In addition, it is necessary to maintain a certain air humidity, which is also good for its leaves.

3. Water moderately: Do not water the money tree too much or too little. Too little water will cause the leaves to lack water and turn yellow, while too much water will cause the roots to be flooded and unable to breathe, resulting in root rot. Generally, you can water the plant moderately when the soil in the pot is slightly dry, until it is moist but not waterlogged.

4. Apply fertilizer moderately: Apply more fertilizer during the growth period of the money tree, and apply less fertilizer at other times. Especially in autumn and winter, applying too much fertilizer will not only fail to be absorbed, but will also damage the roots.
