Those florists, who do not have the desire and time for moody ornamental plants, prefer to grow a money tree , or a fat woman. However, even such an unpretentious indoor flower can sometimes hurt. So, for example, quite often the money tree blush leaves. It's about the causes of this phenomenon.
Why are the leaves blushing at the money tree?
The main cause of reddening of leaves in bearberry is bright sun rays. Despite the fact that the birthplace of the money tree is the arid regions of Africa and Madagascar, this room representative of the succulent genus does not tolerate direct sunlight. The edges of the leaves begin to blush at the plant first, then the entire surface. Sometimes the leaves wrinkle and become slightly sluggish. And usually it happens when the pot with the flower was located for a long time in the penumbra or in a place with half-scattered light, and then it was moved to the windowsill, where the rays are straight. Such a sharp change in the "climate" leads to a reddening of the leaves of the money tree - these are sunburns.
If the fatty blush leaves from below, the problem should be looked for in the drying of the earthy coma. The money tree, although succulent, that is resistant to drought, all requires a sufficient amount of moisture.
The money tree blush leaves - what to do?
If the leaves only began to blush in the last few days, the pot with the plant needs to be rearranged to another, less illuminated place. Another option - just curtain the window with a light transparent material, for example, gauze. A week later, the bearberry again turns green and has a beautiful appearance.
As for how to save a money tree, if leaves wilt and blush, then more serious measures will have to be taken. In addition to transferring the pot to another place, it is recommended to fertilize the flower with fertilizer, for example, Agricola, or the biostimulant Epin, Zircon. Do timely watering - once a week in ordinary weather and 2 times - in hot weather.
