When and how do you have to repot a money tree?

When does the penny tree have to be repotted?

Time to repot is always when the old pot is completely rooted. To check this, carefully remove the money tree from the pot.

The best time to repot is spring, when the main growth period of the penny tree begins.

If repotting is not yet necessary, gently shake off the old substrate and plant the money tree back into the previously cleaned pot. Soak up fresh soil so the plant has enough hold.

Choose a sturdy planter

The leaves of the money tree store moisture. They are therefore quite heavy, so that too small and too easy pot tilts quickly. Ideal are planters made of ceramic, which have enough weight.

The pot must be provided with a drain hole, so that excess irrigation water can drain. Waterlogging does not forgive waterlogging.

Therefore, it may be useful to create a drainage of gravel on the bottom of the pot.

So you turn over the money tree

When transplanting into a larger pot, gently loosen the roots. Dry or rotten roots cut off.

Fill fresh pot in the new pot and insert the penny tree carefully. Fill up so much soil that the roots are well covered and gently press them.

Care after repotting

After repotting, do not place the money tree directly in the sun for two to three weeks.

In the first months the penny-tree is sufficiently supplied with nutrients. You do not need to fertilize it for at least three months.

Tips

The money tree prefers a sunny spot where it is sufficiently warm. Ideal are temperatures between 20 and 27 degrees. It should not be colder than five degrees.
