Money Tree Torture

οΏΌHey Guys! So I had posted a question a few days ago regarding this plant. I was told to check for a rubber band. There is none. Should I still repot it with regular potting soil and chunky perlite? Should I remove all of the old soil? Please help I don't want another plant to die after just getting it 😩 Blessings β˜€οΈπŸ€πŸ’– #MoneyTree
12ft to light, indirect
10” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 weeks ago
Oh my, there's almost no soil left there. You should definitely give her a bigger pot (I'd say 30 cm diameter, with drainage). Do not remove the old soil, just shake some old soil off gently (to not disturbe roots too much).
@SvelteKingfern well I had to see if there was a rubber band holding the tree together for that's what everyone suggested. I just put it back in the pot and that's it lol
So perty
@SUNSHiNEPLANTS it’s all gooooood 🀩✨🌱 eek! Congratulations btw! What a beauty! If you can dump out the free soil, I would! The new stuff is what will help the roots uptake nutrients and it will better absorb water. New soil is always better! :) best of luck!! Let us know if you have any more questions! :)
You do as you please, of course, but the tree needs a bigger pot, Sunshinegirl.
