How does the fortune tree survive the winter? Why do its leaves turn yellow?

1. How to survive the winter

1. Adjust the temperature: The money tree does not like low temperatures. During the winter, the temperature must be adjusted above 10°C. If the temperature is too low, it will cause frost damage, and the leaves will show symptoms of yellowing or withering. They have to go indoors when winter comes, as it is not easy to survive the winter in the cold air outdoors.

2. Watering in moderation: Less water is necessary for winter maintenance. It grows slowly in cold weather and has low requirements for water. If you still water it too much, it will not only easily rot the roots but also be easily frostbitten. During the winter, it is usually watered once a month, and the leaves can be sprayed with water if necessary.

3. Proper ventilation: Although it is very cold in winter, you still have to open the windows for ventilation. Plants in a stuffy environment are prone to diseases and pests. Especially in rooms with heating and air conditioning, you should open the windows more often. As long as the cold wind does not blow directly, it will not be frozen.

4. Sufficient sunlight: The sunlight during the winter is very weak. In order not to affect the growth of the plants, they must be exposed to sufficient sunlight. More sunlight can not only promote photosynthesis, but also increase the temperature to a certain extent.

2. Causes of yellowing

There are many reasons why the leaves of the money tree turn yellow. If you water it too much during daily maintenance, the roots will rot and the leaves will turn yellow or even fall off. You need to control the frequency of watering. If there is long-term drought, the leaves of the plant will not absorb water and will turn yellow, so water them in time. In addition, long-term lack of fertilizer and lack of nutrition will cause yellow leaves. Fertilization should be carried out reasonably, and fertilizer can be applied once every half a month during the growing period.
