Many people like to keep a few money trees at home, but as the money trees continue to grow, the space in the original pots will gradually become smaller, restricting the expansion of the root system and resulting in insufficient absorption of nutrients and water. This requires timely transplanting and repotting to solve this problem. So what is the correct way to transplant and repot the money tree? Let’s learn more about it below. 1. Time to change pots The best time to repot the money tree is in spring or autumn, when the temperatures are moderate and conducive to the growth and recovery of the plant. 2. Pot soil preparation Depending on the size of the money tree, choose a pot that is slightly larger than the original pot. The material should preferably be ceramic or plastic with good air permeability. The soil should be loose, fertile, slightly acidic and well-breathable. It is recommended to mix garden soil, leaf mold and sand in a ratio of approximately 3:1:1. 3. Remove the pot Before repotting, take the money tree out of the original pot. You can gently tap the bottom and side walls of the flowerpot to help the money tree easily break away from the original flowerpot. If the money tree is too close to the pot to be removed, you can use a knife to gently cut the side wall of the pot, but be careful not to damage the roots. 4. Prune the roots For plants removed from pots, carefully check the roots for diseases, insect pests, root rot, etc. If found, they need to be cut off in time. Apply some charcoal powder or fertilizer to the cuts after pruning to encourage new root growth. 5. Basin operation First, place a layer of drainage gravel or perlite in the bottom of the new pot to ensure good drainage. Secondly, pour in an appropriate amount of new soil and place the money tree in the center of the pot to allow the roots to spread naturally. Finally, continue to add soil and gently pat the soil with your hands to make it tightly combined with the roots and avoid leaving gaps. 6. Maintenance points Do not water immediately after repotting. It is recommended to water thoroughly after 3 days. During the acclimatization period, be sure to place the money tree in a cool and ventilated place to avoid direct sunlight. Gradually increase the light after it adapts to the new environment. Also, avoid over-fertilizing and do not fertilize for at least a week after repotting. In general, the method of transplanting and repotting the money tree is not complicated. If you follow the above operating points, the success rate will be greatly improved. At the same time, pay attention to the later maintenance and management to enable the money tree to thrive in the new environment.
