In winter, special attention should be paid to keeping the soil in the pots dry, but attention should still be paid to spraying water on the leaves and the surrounding environment to make the air humidity reach more than 50%. Otherwise, under low temperature conditions, it is easy to cause plant root rot, yellowing of leaves, and even death of the whole plant.

3. Do not water the money tree that has just been repotted at first. Place it in a cool place and wait for the wound to dry. Then water it thoroughly after about 12 hours.
