According to feng shui, the fat tree, or money tree, is a symbol of the well-being of the family, therefore this plant can be found in many homes. Given the importance of the plant in human life, one can understand why the issues of caring for it attract close attention. A beautiful and healthy plant, the bastard needs regular replanting to recreate a comfortable environment. Knowing how to transplant a money tree at home, you can ensure prosperity, love and well-being of the family for many years.
In principle, the money tree is not demanding and does not need special care. It can be replanted once every two years. The health of the plant is ensured by properly selected soil, lighting regime and watering. The most optimal time for transplanting is spring. When choosing a pot for transplanting, it should be borne in mind that the root of the bastard is located on the surface. Therefore, the pot is selected shallow, wide and flat. At the same time, in a pot that is too spacious, the growth of the plant slows down. The diameter of the pot will be optimal, coinciding with the diameter of the crown of the plant, and the ceramic or clay container is red.
At the next stage of the transplant, a soil mixture is prepared, which you can buy ready-made or prepare it yourself. When self-preparing the soil, sod and leafy land is taken in equal proportions, to which ¼ part of river sand is added. It is also possible to add ash, humus for looseness. Drainage is laid at the bottom of the pot, for which you can use broken brick, crushed walnut shells or expanded clay. It should be noted that the fat woman does not tolerate excess moisture, which is removed through the hole at the bottom of the pot.
When transplanting, it is necessary to carefully examine the roots for their disease. If rotten roots are found, these parts are removed and an open root system is left for a day to dry it a little. Despite the fact that the leaves of the plant look very strong, in fact they are fragile. Therefore, you need to handle the plant carefully and carefully. After transplanting, the healed money tree is recommended to be watered for two weeks. Taking the plant out of the old pot, together with the soil adhered to the roots, carefully place it in the center of the flower pot and cover it with soil mixture. Immediately after transplanting, it is watered with settled water at room temperature and, if necessary, the soil mixture is poured. To avoid stress, it is recommended to return the plant after transplanting to its original place.
