If the trunk of the Money Tree has become completely soft, the bark has turned black, and the stem will flow out brown liquid after being stressed, then it can hardly be saved. But if its bark is still green and its xylem is normal, it can be saved by pruning and disinfecting, and replanting with new flower soil.

Can I still live?

If the trunk of the Money Tree has become completely soft, the bark has turned black, and the stem is pressed hard, there will be brown liquid flowing out, then basically there is no way to save it. But if its trunk just becomes soft, its bark is not black or green, and its xylem is normal, then it can be saved.

How to save

1. Pruning and disinfection: most of the problems are due to the infection of bacteria. Therefore, to revive it, we must first take it out of the basin and cut off its black and rotten roots and twigs. In addition, if the upper part of the stem becomes soft, it can be sawed directly. After cutting, we also need to apply some plant ash to all the cuts.

2. Replant culture: prepare some high-quality flower soil, put it in a basin, and plant it. After that, put it in a place with good ventilation, a temperature of about 20 ℃, and a soft photo. Spray fungicide once every 2-3 days, wait for it to take root and grow again.
