How to repot the money tree

When the money tree grows to a certain size, it needs to be repotted. When repotting, first take the plant out of the pot, remove the old soil, tidy up the roots, and then put it back in the pot.

When repotting, you can slowly take the money tree out of the pot, grab the outermost branches of the money tree, be careful not to damage the leaves, fix the pot, and then slowly pull the money tree out of the pot. Or you can gently tap the bottom of the money tree's pot a few times, then take out the plant and remove some of the soil.

Choose a new flowerpot. Of course, if the old flowerpot can still meet the growth requirements of the money tree, you don’t have to change it. Place some tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot and then add soil. Peat soil can be used. First put some peat soil in the pot, put the money tree plant in, and continue to add soil until the pot is full. Pay attention to the depth when placing the plants.

Things to note when repotting money tree

When is the best time to repot the money tree? Generally, it is better to repot once every one or two years, because by then the soil has lost its fertility and gradually become hardened, which is not suitable for the growth of the money tree.

When repotting the money tree, it is generally better to wait until the soil in the pot is relatively dry. If there is too much water in the money tree's pot, the soil in the pot will be relatively moist, which may cause damage to the roots, and in severe cases, rot.

After repotting the money tree, be careful not to water it immediately. You can keep it dry first and let the injured part of the plant dry and heal before watering it. After repotting, you should pay attention to proper maintenance, especially fertilization, so that the repotted money tree can recover faster and grow better.
