1、 Watering too much

The money tree has strong drought tolerance and does not need to be watered often. If you water too much, it will affect the respiration of the root and is not conducive to the absorption of water and nutrients, resulting in stem shrinkage. Usually in the growth period, watering once every half a month is enough. If the climate is dry, the watering cycle can be appropriately shortened, but the soil should be kept dry

2、 Plant freezing

Qian Qian tree originally grew in eastern Africa. It prefers a warm environment and has poor cold resistance. If the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, the plant will be frostbitten and the stem will shrivel. Usually, the temperature should be kept between 20-32 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, keep warm and put a bag on the upper part of the plant

3、 Root rot

If the root of money tree decays, the absorption capacity of water and fertilizer will become weak, and the stem will also be shriveled. After the rotten roots are found, they must be removed from the basin at the first time, the rotten places shall be cut off with sterilized scissors, and carbendazim shall be sprayed for disinfection. At ordinary times, the amount of water and fertilizer should be controlled, and good ventilation should be maintained to prevent root rot

4、 Soil hardening

Money tree likes loose and fertile soil. If the pot soil is not replaced for a long time, the hardening of the soil will affect the respiration of roots and is not conducive to the infiltration of water. In view of this situation, the pots need to be changed in time. After the plants are removed from the pots, they should be replanted with sandy loam. Loosen the soil regularly, which can also increase the air permeability of the soil
