The lucky money tree not only has high ornamental value but also has the function of purifying the air. With the symbol of attracting wealth and continuous prosperity, it is highly sought after in the flower market. Whether for home planting or office pot plants, people always want to bring some good luck, so the lucky money tree is often seen. Today, I will share some issues to consider when repotting a lucky money tree.
I. Repotting Time
The lucky money tree needs to be repotted once every one to two years, and it's best to repot it once a year if you don't mind the trouble. The growing period of the lucky money tree is in summer, and repotting during this time can significantly affect its growth. Therefore, considering the temperature and the plant's growth, the most suitable time for repotting is in spring and autumn, which can reduce the impact of repotting on the plant.
II. Repotting Method
First, select a pot of the appropriate size based on the size of the plant. For the potting mix, it is recommended to prepare a mixture of garden soil, river sand, and sawdust in a ratio of 3:1:1. Before potting, remove all the soil around the plant's roots, as well as any rotten or diseased roots. Place the plant in the center of the pot during potting, taking care not to damage the roots.
III. Post-Repotting Care
Firstly, remember to disinfect and sterilize after potting to avoid wound infection. Secondly, pay attention to ventilation at this stage to promote evaporation of moisture. Do not water too frequently, as it can easily cause waterlogging. Generally speaking, watering thoroughly once every 5 days after repotting is sufficient, and later, it can be transitioned to watering every 3 days. If you want to do a good job of moisturizing, you can also cover the roots of the lucky money tree with plastic film.
