Time and Method for Repotting a Lucky Money Tree
Today, I will introduce to you the time and method for repotting a Lucky Money Tree, as well as the correct method for repotting in winter, with explanations regarding green plants and flowers. Here are the details:
If you buy "this kind" of Lucky Money Tree, you must repot it, otherwise it will rot the roots and leaves, and each pot you plant will die.
The Lucky Money Tree, as indicated by its name, symbolizes good fortune and is very popular among plant lovers. However, many problems arise after purchasing it and placing it indoors. First, we must remember that the Lucky Money Tree we buy is usually cultivated in yellow soil, especially the larger plants. It is best to repot it after purchasing, as plants grown in yellow soil are not suitable for indoor cultivation. Watering can be difficult to control, easily leading to rotting roots and leaves, or even the entire plant withering and dying.
Repotting a Lucky Money Tree is actually quite simple. First, we need to remove most of the soil from the pot, but not all of it, leaving only the central protective soil, about 10 centimeters, to expose most of the roots, and then prepare good quality soil. The soil mixture should be breathable, permeable, and nutritious. The simplest method is to mix river sand and nutrient-rich soil in a 1:1 ratio. This mixture is very effective and, since river sand is heavy, adding it to the potting soil helps prevent the Lucky Money Tree from toppling over.
After repotting, water thoroughly, adding some root stimulator or carbendazim, and then place the newly potted Lucky Money Tree in a well-ventilated area to recover. Since repotting inevitably damages the roots, it is important to allow the plant to recover. With good ventilation, spray the leaves with a fine mist from a spray bottle in the morning, afternoon, and evening to allow the leaves and stems to absorb moisture, ensuring the leaves do not wilt and the plant can quickly grow new roots. When you see new buds growing rapidly on the main stem, it means it is slowly growing new roots. Once new leaves and buds are growing rapidly, you can return to normal care and move it indoors.
The most important aspect of repotting a Lucky Money Tree and allowing it to recover is proper handling. Additionally, do not fertilize during the repotting and recovery period, as it does not have new roots and cannot absorb too much fertilizer. Excess nutrients in the potting soil can cause root burn. Fertilizing is usually done when it is growing rapidly and the leaves are large. If growth is not normal, do not fertilize after repotting, as this will only have a counterproductive effect. Repotting a Lucky Money Tree is that simple. When done correctly, it can be cared for without issues in your home environment. It only needs 1-2 hours of scattered sunlight, thorough watering when the soil is dry, and regular supplementation with multi-element fertilizers to ensure normal growth.
I hope you enjoy the shared information on the time and method for repotting a Lucky Money Tree and the correct method for repotting in winter.
