braided money tree dying
Comments (198)Hi all! I'd love some help- I adopted this money tree because one of the attorneys in my office got a new office plant & was going to throw this one away. I decided to take her home to try to save her but I don't know how! I just bought some bonsai soil mix, regular potting soil, and a new pot on Amazon (not too big) and I'm planning to repot with a mix when they come in, or possible put the bonsai mix on the bottom as a drainage layer. Am I on the right track here? Thanks!!!...See MoreMoney tree pachira plant unhappy -- help!
Comments (15)Wow, I think I have the world's friendliest pachira lol. Mine likes to stay lush, and comfort me when I have done something stupid which has angered my other plants, lol. I've had it for years and it tends to be on the more cooperative end of everything I'm growing. It's true what everyone is saying about less water than a typical tropical though. I don't water mine until the soil is dry all the way down to the knuckle of my pointer finger when I stick it in, and then i flush the soil completely. I also think maybe a little less than full sun too, Mine tends to bake and wilt if the light is too strong, and does fine in the winter under some growlights inside. I've never fertilized it, or done anything in particular to encourage it, but I I do give it lots of love and chat with it while I'm making my rounds about my plants. Anyway, Best of luck!! and PS, I love the nest-egg analogy Zenthumbs!!...See Moresick money tree brown leaves and falling off Help
Comments (2)Hello! It is normal for the older leaves on Pachira to yellow, brown, and fall off. If the *tips* of the leaves are browning, this usually indicates over-watering. The type of soil you used will determine if the issue is over-watering. What type of soil, and how large of a container?

Comments (13)Okay, thanks for the help. I did give it a little water today, I made sure it drained all the way out, and I put rocks on top of the soil, and there is a tiny layer of water, and rocks that sit higher than the water at the bottom of the pot so the cup that it came in sits on top of tbe rocks. I read somewhere that this helps humidify the plant. Easily removed if you guys don't think I should have either or. I also read cold damaged plants like a humidifier somewhat near by while it recovers. Is my anita plant good enough (produces humidity) or should I get out my humidifier?
