1. Ways to spend the winter

1. Adjust the temperature: Money trees do not like low temperatures. During the winter, the temperature must be adjusted above 10℃. If the temperature is too low, there will be frost damage and the leaves will show symptoms. Symptoms of yellowing or wilting appear. After winter comes, you have to go indoors. It is not easy to survive the winter in the cold air outside.

2. Water sparingly: less water is required for winter maintenance. It grows slowly in the cold and has low water requirements. If you still water too much, it will not only easily cause root rot but also frostbite. . Watering is usually done once a month during the winter, and the leaves can be sprayed with water if necessary.

3. Proper ventilation: Although winter is very cold, However, it is necessary to open windows for ventilation. Plants in a relatively stuffy environment are prone to diseases and insect pests. Especially in a room with heating and air conditioning, you should open more windows. As long as the cold wind does not blow directly, it will not freeze.

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

2. Reasons for yellowing

There are many reasons for the yellowing of the leaves of the fortune tree. If you water too much during daily maintenance, the roots will rot, and the leaves will turn yellow or even fall off. The frequency of watering must be controlled. If there is a long-term drought, the plant leaves will turn yellow if they cannot absorb water, so water them in time. There is also a long-term lack of fertilizer. Lack of nutrients will cause yellow leaves. Fertilization must be reasonable. Fertilization can be done about once every half a month during the growth period.
