The money tree is also known as American Railway Taro and Golden Pine. It is a kind of plant with no main stem above ground, adventitious buds germinating from tubers to form large compound leaves, leaflets fleshy with short petiolules, firm and thick green. The underground part of the tree is a hypertrophic tuber, the pinnate compound leaves are drawn from the top of the tuber, the leaf axis is strong, and the leaflets are opposite or nearly opposite on the leaf axis. The petiole base is inflated and Lignified. Generally speaking, the lifespan of the money tree is more than five years, and its leaves are constantly renewed by new leaves.

The living habits of money tree

The money tree is native to eastern Africa and is a tropical plant. It likes warm, slightly dry, semi-overcast and small annual temperature change environment, more resistant to drought, but more afraid of cold, avoid strong light exposure, afraid of soil stickiness and stagnant water in the basin soil, if the basin soil of planting money tree is not permeable, it is easy to cause its tuber to rot.

The reason for the yellowing of the leaves of the money tree

First, too much water

Chimonanthus is a kind of plant that likes to be warm and slightly dry, and is more tolerant to drought. If it is watered too much, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow. Generally, when the room temperature is more than 33 ℃, the plant should be sprayed with water once a day to keep the soil slightly moist. In winter, we should pay attention to spraying water to the leaf surface and the surrounding environment, so that the relative air humidity can reach more than 50%. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, we should reduce watering, or spray instead of watering, in order to facilitate the safe winter of newly drawn tender leaves.

II. Fertilization

The money tree likes to be fertile. If it is not mastered well in the process of fertilization, the leaves of the money tree will turn yellow. During the growing season, a handful of cash trees can be treated with a mixture of 02.2% urea and 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate 2 or 3 times a month, or a balance fertilizer of 20-10-20 (20-20-20) with a concentration of 200-250ppm combined with calcium nitrate. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is necessary to stop applying nitrogen fertilizer to the tree and apply 0.3% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution continuously for 2 to 3 times to promote the hardening and enrichment of its young leaf axis and newly drawn leaves. When the temperature drops below 15 ℃, all forms of topdressing should be stopped so as not to damage the roots of the tree under the condition of low temperature.

III. Insect pests

Pest is one of the important reasons for the yellowing of the leaves. In the environment of poor ventilation and poor light, the leaves of the tree are easy to be harmed by scale insects. In order to prevent the pests of the tree, transparent tape can be used to remove the scale insects, and wet cloth can also be used to wipe off the scale insects. In the period of productive cultivation, the insecticidal effect is also very good when 1000 times of 20% propofol wettable powder is sprayed during the peak incubation period of nymphs.

IV. Soil

When raising the money tree, its soil generally chooses acidic soil. If the soil is not acidic enough, it will also cause the leaves to turn yellow. Generally, peat, coarse sand or washed cinder are often mixed with a small amount of garden soil, and the pH value is adjusted to between 6 and 6.5, which can be slightly acidic.
