How to handle a money tree right after bringing it home

I. Pre-potting care

After a newly purchased money tree has changed environments, it needs some time to adapt to the new environment. About one week is enough. During this period, observe its condition often. If the soil is dry, give it water once. After that is done, you can repot it.

II. Repotting

Before repotting, prepare the soil for the pot. The money tree is drought-tolerant and likes warmth, so the soil has relatively high requirements for air permeability. You can use acidic soil to grow the money tree, then mix in some ceramsite to increase air permeability. After planting, do not water for now. Wait until it adapts to the new potting soil for a few days before watering. Before watering, make sure the soil is completely dry. Water thoroughly in one go, but do not let water accumulate in the pot. Standing water will cause the money tree's roots to rot.

III. Care after repotting

The money tree does not particularly like fertilizer. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to fertilize, but during the growing season, the nutrients in the potting soil are limited and can hardly meet the money tree's needs. At this time, you can add some fertilizer with little irritation and sufficient nutrients, such as animal manure. Fertilizing twice a month is enough.
