Should I use a large or small pot for my money tree?

The money tree is also called the money tree. It is more suitable to be planted in large pots. The plant is relatively large, but the specific size still depends on the size of the plant. It is enough for the diameter of the flowerpot to be one circle larger than the crown width.

Growing environment: Money tree grows in a slightly dry, semi-shady environment with small temperature changes. The suitable temperature for growth is 20-32℃. The plant does not require much water, so just adhere to the principle of not watering unless the soil is dry.

Repotting time: The best time to repot the money tree is in spring from March to April. The temperature, humidity and light conditions at this time are most suitable for plant growth and more suitable for recovery after repotting.

Should money trees be potted in deep or shallow pots?

Money tree is more suitable for planting in deep pots because its roots grow downwards and require sufficient growth space. The depth of the flowerpot should be at least 15 cm. Later, as the plant grows, replace it with a larger pot.

Ceramic pots and clay pots are more suitable for money trees. These types of pots have better drainage and air permeability, and are cheaper than purple clay pots.
