What to do if the leaves of the money tree turn yellow and soft

Temperature reasons

When the temperature drops below 5 degrees in winter, if the soil is very moist at this time, the leaves of the money tree will directly freeze and fall over. In severe cases, it will cause its roots to rot or even die.

Prevention and control methods: When growing money trees in winter, the temperature must be controlled. The minimum temperature must be maintained above 10 degrees Celsius, and the dryness of the potting soil must be ensured.

Too much sunlight

In hot summer days, when the sun is abundant, they can easily get sunburned. They will not be able to adapt if it is cloudy for several consecutive days and then suddenly turns sunny. There is a similar situation. When the money tree is suddenly exposed to the sun after being grown indoors for a long time, it is very easy for its leaves to be sunburned, and then they will turn yellow and become soft.

Prevention and control methods: Let the money tree get appropriate sunlight, and avoid sudden exposure to the sun. In summer, it should be kept indoors or in a semi-shaded environment. After consecutive rainy days, sunshade work should be done in time.

Diseases

When the money tree is diseased, circular spots will appear on the leaves, which are gray-brown to yellow-brown in color. They usually occur when the temperature is too high, the humidity is too high, and the ventilation is poor.

Prevention and control methods: When the disease is discovered, the diseased leaves should be removed in time to prevent mutual infection between the diseased leaves. In addition, you can also spray pesticides to kill insects. You should spray once every ten days. Spraying three or four times can achieve the effect of prevention and treatment.

Pests appear

When insect infestation occurs, its leaves will turn yellow and soften. This usually happens in an environment with poor ventilation and lighting, and it is particularly susceptible to attacks by insects such as scale insects.

Prevention and control methods: When insect infestation occurs, the insects must be scraped off first. You can use transparent tape or wipe them with a wet cloth. You can also spray pesticides to kill insects, which is very effective.
