The lucky chestnut or Pachira aquatica gets brown leaves in an unfavorable location or with poor care. How to prevent brown leaves or other discoloration on the leaves of the ornamental plant.
Why does the lucky chestnut get brown leaves?
Brown leaves on a lucky chestnut (Pachira aquatica) are caused by unfavorable locations or poor care. To prevent this, place the plant in a bright, warm place without drafts and avoid waterlogging in the root area.
Incorrect location of the lucky chestnut
An incorrect location is often responsible when the lucky chestnut develops brown leaves. In a favorable location, the lucky chestnut is very bright and warm. It doesn't get any drafts and isn't constantly moved around.
Lucky chestnut is not cared for properly
Waterlogging in the root area also leads to yellow or brown leaves of the lucky chestnut. Only water Pachira aquatica when the root ball is almost dry. In winter, reduce the amount of water again.
Never grow fortune chestnuts with braided trunks. This makes the plant very sensitive, so it gets sick more quickly or has brown and yellow leaves.
Tip
If the lucky chestnut loses a lot of leaves, this is also a location or care problem. If only a few leaves fall off, there is no reason to worry.
