Any tips on keeping chinese money play bottom leaves green? Is it just part of their life? Or can i do something to keep the bottom leaving looking like the top leaves? it’s in bright but no direct sunlight, pot has drainage and i recently fertilized it for the first time ever
totally normal for the lower leaves to yellow, they seem to have a limited lifespan like the leaves of tradescantia zebrina. makes sense if you know both species are crawling plants. as long as it’s still growing and the leaves aren’t falling off rapidly or several at a time, i wouldn’t worry. i’ve gotten used to mine “dying” while it grows

Mine has the same problem, they always fall off ! But the plant still seems happy, it’s been about four years now and it’s split off so many new plants and grown so much I’ve had to give the little offshoots away to friends because I have nowhere to put them :) I wouldn’t worry too much about the bottom leaves

It’s just part of their life cycle. The bottom leaves will become yellow and die. Just clip them off and more nutrients will go to new growth.
