Can I repot it? And what kind of soil would you suggest?

Absolutely! If you've had the plant for a while and it's still in the same soil as when you bought it, you definitely want to repot since many of the soil's nutrients have already been flushed out. Also, commercial growers tend to use very moisture-retaining soil, which isn't a good fit for a money plant.

They like a well-draining soil that dries out quickly, but not TOO quickly. Regular potting soil with extra perlite or pumice rock added will work perfectly. Mix approx 3 parts soil, 1 part perlite/pumice. You can also use cactus/succulent soil (5 parts cactus soil, 1 part perlite/pumice). How to check if the soil mix is right for your plant in your environment: if the soil still feels damp after about a week, use a higher ratio of perlite/pumice. If it completely dries out in only a day or two, use a higher ratio of potting soil ๐Ÿ˜Š
