1、 Excessive watering

The shrinkage of the trunk of the money tree can basically be judged to be caused by the decay of the root system or part of the root stem. This phenomenon is caused by the accumulation of water in the soil due to excessive watering

2、 Rhizome infection

In addition to the shrinkage of its trunk caused by soil ponding, it may also be caused by the wound on the rhizome during maintenance or pot change, mechanical damage and failure to dispose in time. The infection along the wound causes the rhizome to rot, causing problems in water transmission and leading to the withering of the trunk

3、 Solution

If the trunk atrophy is found, the reason should be found out in time. If it is a wound infection, timely debridement and keeping the wound dry can be well contained. If it is caused by rotten roots, the rotten roots should be disposed of as soon as possible for intervention treatment, so that the atrophic branches can be controlled and restored. If disposed of too late, the whole plant may die
