How long does it take for the money tree to adapt to the pot?

Money tree acclimatization time

After repotting, it doesn’t take long for the money tree to acclimate to the new pot. It usually takes about 7-15 days for it to fully acclimate. If the maintenance conditions are good, the acclimatization time can be shortened.

After the money tree is repotted, it will quickly grow leaves and new buds until the root system is well grown, which takes about a month.

After the money tree is potted, it usually takes about 15-20 days of careful care for it to take root, and after it takes root it will begin to grow rapidly.

Money tree has the performance of acclimatization

You can tell whether the money tree has adapted to the pot by touching its leaves and the stems of the large leaves. If it has adapted to the pot, its leaves will feel very textured, not soft, but smooth and moist. The stems of the large leaves will be plump and not rough, without a strong sense of bumps and depressions.

How to make money tree adapt to the pot quickly

When repotting the money tree, check whether the roots are rotten. Cut off the rotten roots, then soak its roots in rooting solution and carbendazim water for about 15 minutes before planting. After planting, water it thoroughly, pour the remaining rooting solution and carbendazim water directly on it, and place it in a place with scattered light and good ventilation for maintenance.

How to care for money tree during its acclimatization period

After repotting the money tree, place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance. As long as there are no yellow leaves and no obvious symptoms of stem water loss, just wait patiently. Once you are sure that the tree has adapted to the pot, consider fertilizing and providing appropriate light.

1. Watering: Money tree should be watered about 1-2 days after repotting. It cannot be watered immediately after repotting because its wound has not completely shrunk and dried. Watering can easily cause wound infection and increase the chance of the plant becoming diseased. Therefore, it is best to wait until 1-2 days after the wound is completely shrunk and dry before watering.

2. Fertilization: Do not apply fertilizer within half a month after the money tree is potted in summer, because the temperature of the plant is relatively high at this time and the growth rate is not very fast. Fertilization at this time is likely to cause fertilizer damage.

3. Sun exposure: It will take 4-6 days after the money tree is repotted before it can be exposed to scattered light, but avoid strong sunlight as it will burn it.
