Money Plant

[walshie 2,804]

'er indoors has a few money plants.Some of them she has had for many years.

 

When we lived in London, they all had very dark green shiny leaves, but since we've been here all the leaves have turned light green with pink areas. They're still strong and healthy and even put on a couple of inches. Could it be the non-chlorinated water doing that?

They've been outside most of the summer, same as always. Then they'll be in the conservatory when the frost starts.

I seriously doubt there's more sunlight in Wales than in England. Everything else is the same, except our water comes from a borehole so no chlorine. They seem well enough on it.

No when the leafs start going redy coulor they are getting to much sun there not a plant that is meant to be in full sunlight anyway

Air quality surely plays a part?

Light quality could be better, though ! Unobstructed windows, less air pollution etc.......money plants don't like full sunlight.

 

And anyway, I thought you lived in Surrey, not that London !

[walshie 2,804]

Greater London then.

[Blackbriar 8,569]

Greater London then.

Nothing great about London ! Apart from the fact that you left ! ?

I would say that it's the water could be the ph or to much or lacking in a certain elements...tap water tends to have a high ph and it's recommended to let it sit for 24 hours to let the nasties leach out of it. .with ground water it all depends on the geology as to what and how much minerals it contains also ph and if you have leafs ect falling into the water this will also effect the ph.....ph test the water for a start I don't know about money plants but normally your looking at somewhere between 5.2 and 6.2 ph

I'd bet it's the water.

I get my water from a well, not drinkable unless boiled. Anyway when the girl moved in she brought her fish.....they died. We put it down to the move.

We got more fish and they died.

Got the water tested and although they said it was fine the fish died.

Brought in water from elsewhere, mains water, and the same 2 fish have survived for ages.

Is the new window the same directionally facing as the old window. I've also had my money plant for years, 25+ gifted by my mum who had it years before me!

We were lucky to have the same facing window when we moved house 6 years ago, with no detriment to the plant.

I'd look at position and light first and water second.
