The green leaves of the plants indicate that they are healthy. But, the change in colour from green to yellow indicates a major health issue in plants. Money plants, being one of the prominent plants in most households, are often seen to turn yellow. Scroll down to learn how you can revive your yellow money plant.
Proper Sunlight
Money plants are indoor plants and thus thrive well in bright and indirect light. However, if kept in direct sunlight can lead to the yellowing of leaves. Thus, make sure that the money plant is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Proper Soil Drainage
Every soil needs a proper soil drainage system, to thrive well. A proper drainage system allows roots to breathe and prevents waterlogging. Moreover, while watering the plant make sure to let the top layer of the soil dry.
Repot The Plant
If the existing soil of the money plant is compact, make sure to change the pot and plant it into a bigger pot to allow better drainage. Standing water at the bottom of the leaves can lead to yellowing of leaves and root issues.
Keep An Eye On Pests
Money plants are prone to pests like aphids and spider mites which is the main reason for the yellowing of leaves. You can physically inspect and remove the yellow leaves that are affecting the plant. Keep an eye on the pests as well.
