After the leaves of the fortune tree turn yellow, it is best to prune them off. Since it is generally difficult to repair the leaves that have turned yellow for any reason, keeping them always causes a consumption of nutrients. After pruning, you should find the cause of the yellowing and make relative corrections. In that way, the new leaves produced will not easily turn yellow again.

First, whether to cut them off

It is best to cut off the yellow leaves. Many reasons can cause the leaves to turn yellow, and no matter what the reason is, it is generally irreversible. The yellowed leaves usually cannot be restored. Therefore, if they are kept, it will only accelerate the consumption of nutrients. Of course, they can also be left uncut and wait for them to fall off naturally, but it is not recommended to do so.

Second, the reasons and solutions for yellowing

After cutting off the yellow leaves, you still need to find out the cause of the yellowing of the main stem leaves. Only after solving this problem will the leaves growing out of the main stem not turn yellow again.

1. Normal condition: If only the outermost circle of the leaves turns yellow, then it is normal, indicating that these leaves have aged and can be left alone. Wait for new leaves to grow out.

2. Overwatering: It may be caused by root rot due to waterlogging, and the leaves will also turn yellow. If the root rot is severe, you need to remove the pot, cut the roots, disinfect them, and then repot them again. If the root rot is not severe, you can deal with it by drying the water.

3. Long time without repotting: If the soil has not been changed for a long time, the nutrients in the soil will decrease, and then these old leaves will turn yellow. Therefore, it is necessary to change regularly, preferably once every six months. Use well-rotted soil, and decide whether to change the pot according to whether its volume has grown.

The fortune tree is a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Since its leaves look very much like ancient Chinese coins, it is favored by everyone. Many people will buy it back and place it in the living room furniture or office space. However, during the breeding process of the fortune tree, the leaves may turn yellow. Then, what should we do if the leaves of the fortune tree turn yellow?

1 Prevent drought. The fortune tree just bought back needs to be watered immediately due to soil degradation, so that the soil can absorb sufficient water to promote the normal growth of the roots. Otherwise, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow due to lack of water.

2 Moderate fertilization. Pay attention to the soil fertilizer of the fortune tree and ensure moderate fertilization to ensure the abundance of nutrients in the soil. If the soil lacks nutrients, the leaves will lack chlorophyll, which will also cause the leaves to turn yellow.

3 Light watering. If the soil is already sufficiently moist, do not water again, otherwise, excessive moisture is not easily absorbed, which will cause the roots to rot gradually, and the leaves will also turn yellow after the roots rot.

4 Suitable natural environment. The growth and development of the fortune tree requires an environment with abundant light but not direct exposure to strong sunlight. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent direct sunlight exposure and ensure that the environment is naturally ventilated and shaded. Otherwise, it will also cause the leaves to turn yellow.

5 Avoid pests and diseases. Pay attention to regularly spraying medicine on the fortune tree to prevent the occurrence of pests and diseases or the combination of both. If the fortune tree is affected by pests and diseases, it will also cause the leaves to turn yellow.
