If the money tree turns yellow leaves, it is either due to improper care or a pest infestation. Why do the leaves turn yellow and what can you do about it?

Unfavorable lighting conditions can lead to yellow leaves

Causes of Penny Tree Yellow Leaves

The causes of discoloration on the leaves are usually:

  • too moist substrate
  • Location too dark
  • Spider mite infestation

Don't water too much!

Water sparingly. The root ball should only be moderately moist. Any water that collects in the coaster should be poured off immediately.

Money trees need lots of light

The money tree does not like locations that are too dark and it reacts with yellow leaves.

Identify and treat pest infestations

Yellow leaves can also be caused by spider mites. They appear mainly in winter and can be recognized by small webs that are mainly noticeable on the undersides of the leaves, occasionally also on the branches. Sometimes you will also see small white dots.

tips

If the money tree gets red leaves, there is no need to worry. The red coloring on the leaf edges is caused by strong direct sunlight. However, this does not damage money trees.
