Instructions
1
Take the money tree out of the plant pot you bought it in, holding it over a trash can or bag to collect the old soil. Shake the plant slightly to loosen the roots and break off any rocks glued to the top of the roots. Soak the roots in room temperature water to clean them while you prepare new soil.

2
Make a mixture of equal parts of dampened peat moss, perlite and potting soil to create a soil that drains well but still holds moisture for the roots. Fill a plant pot about one-third of the way with this mixture.

3
Lift the plant from the water and trim off any dead or broken roots. Trim the root mass back by about a third using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears.

4
Set the trimmed roots into the prepared pot, setting them gently on the soil. Pour the rest of the soil mixture in over them and tamp it down gently to make good soil-to-root contact.

5
Water the repotted money tree with enough water to drain from the bottom of the plant. Water the plant often so that the soil stays moist but not waterlogged, which causes the roots to rot.
