Why does the sprouted fortune tree have yellow leaves? What should I do if the leaves of the fortune tree are all dry?

The fortune tree is a green plant that many families and companies choose. It is easy to grow and has a good meaning. The leaves of the fortune tree are green and beautiful. Occasionally, one or two yellow leaves are normal metabolism. But if there are too many yellow leaves or even dry leaves, it is not right. So why is this?

Why do sprouting money trees have yellow leaves?

There are only two reasons why the money tree sprouts and has yellow leaves. The first is root rot caused by too much water, and the second is "iron deficiency yellow leaf disease".

Too much water will cause root rot and yellow leaves, but new buds will sprout

If the leaves turn yellow first and then sprout, you can be 100% sure that there is too much water supply.

Because of too much water, the roots rot and the leaves turn yellow. However, at this time, a large amount of water carries nutrients into the body of the money tree. When the leaves turn yellow and the roots rot, the money tree sprouts to ensure its own photosynthesis. The sprouts consume water as much as possible, which is a self-protection measure.

Solution: Move the pot to a well-ventilated location with diffused light to evaporate the water under the light, temperature and ventilation. Although it has sprouted, it is necessary to reduce the water appropriately in the later stage to prevent the underground root rot from spreading.

Germination stage, yellow leaves appear

With the normal supplementation of "nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium", the fortune tree sprouts and grows leaves as scheduled during the growth period. However, in the absence of the "iron" element, the leaves closer to the new buds begin to turn yellow. Under pathological conditions, the leaves first turn light yellow, and the color of the veins remains unchanged. Then the color of the leaves turns light yellow (slightly white), and the color of the veins becomes lighter. At this time, if you pull the leaves, the base of the petiole is still very firm. This is "iron deficiency yellow leaf disease". In this case, "ferrous sulfate" needs to be supplemented.

Solution: Dilute "ferrous sulfate" with water to a certain multiple (the ratio of each brand is different, strictly follow the instructions) and spray it on the leaves first. Combined with the dryness of the flower soil, when watering, fertilize the flower soil and supplement "iron". The interval of supplementation is about once a week. After three consecutive times, there will be obvious improvement.

What to do if the leaves of the fortune tree are all dry

There are generally several factors that cause the yellow leaves of the fortune tree:

1. Excessive watering will cause root rot; the young leaves will turn yellow first, while the old leaves will not change for the time being. Control watering immediately, and do not hesitate to pull out the roots, dry them, and replant them.

2. Too dry, lack of water and dryness; old leaves turn yellow first and droop weakly. Observe the soil in the pot and it is easy to judge, just water it thoroughly immediately.

3. Too much fertilizer makes it difficult to digest; the young leaves turn yellow first and become uneven, so immediately control the fertilizer and water thoroughly.

4. Lack of fertilizer and iron, the soil is alkaline; the young leaves turn yellow first, and there are grid lines, and nutrients and iron should be supplemented immediately.

If the yellow leaves are caused by iron deficiency, it is because the plant has been potted for a long time, and is caused by the lack of nutrients and alkaline soil. Use 500 times diluted ferrous sulfate or an aqueous solution of ferrous sulfate to water the roots. You can also apply it together with other nutrient fertilizers. Hurry up and apply it. Turn over the soil and check the condition of the roots.

Why are the leaves of the fortune tree rotten?

1. The soil is too wet, which can easily lead to root rot, and root rot will cause yellow and rotten leaves. Watering in winter should be less frequent than in summer.

2. The placement of the fortune tree: the fortune tree likes sunlight, but it is best not to expose it to direct sunlight. Direct sunlight or lack of sunlight will cause yellow leaves. In addition, excessive fertilizer will burn the roots.

3. The temperature is not suitable. If the temperature is below 16℃ in winter, the leaves will turn yellow, and if the temperature is below 10℃, the money tree may die.

4. Pests and diseases, fungal and bacterial diseases may all cause yellow leaves, so just apply some pesticides.

5. The soil is alkaline. The money tree likes alkaline soil. You can add some ferrous sulfate to the soil to improve the soil pH.
