The money tree is usually repotted every 1-2 years, and the time should be in spring. When repotting, prepare the pot first and put broken tiles and soil on the bottom for later use. Tap the pot to separate the walls from the soil, then tip the plant out. Check if there are any rotten roots. If there are any, cut them off and disinfect them. Then just put them in a pot and fill them with soil. When changing pots, use loose and well-organized acidic soil, not alkaline soil.

1. Repotting method

1. Time: Repotting the money tree should be done once every 1-2 years. However, if the growth condition is not very good, it needs to be repotted every year. The time for repotting should be chosen in spring, because the climate is very suitable and it will recover quickly after repotting.

2. Preparation: Prepare a new flower pot. The diameter of the pot is larger than the original one, so that the plant will have more space to grow. Place a few broken tiles on the bottom of the pot and put soil into it.

3. Remove the pot: knock the flower carefully After the pot is separated from the soil, hold the main stem of the plant and take it out of the pot. The soil around the roots should be shaken off. And check to see if there are any rotten roots. If there are any, they need to be pruned. Any roots that are not growing well should also be pruned. After root pruning, it is generally necessary to disinfect and sterilize, otherwise it will be easy to get infected after potting.

4. Potting: Place the plant in the middle of the pot, slowly fill it with soil, and then press it lightly until there is no gap. Don't damage its root system when potting it, and finally put it in a cool environment to enhance ventilation.
