Pachira (money tree) trimming, rooting, and replanting.
Comments (133)Hi! I’m sure someone can help me! This tree was full and beautiful. Then I gave it new soil and I think it was over fertilized! From the bottom to about half way up, the leaves turned brown and fell off including the stems. Top I saved somehow. Does anyone know how to get the mid-section to grow back or should I just cut it back down and start over? I cut the second stem a few days ago and waiting for it to bud! What’s the guarantee it will grow back? Help! We’ve had this tree some 2007!...See Moretips for replanting broken large stem- dinnerplate aeonium

Comments (6)I use Rootone with fungicide. Wet the bottom of the broken limb and dip it in the rooting hormone. Cut off all the leaves, leaving only the "claws" at the tip. I would cut off the inflo as well to let the plant put its energy into rooting instead of blooming, but others disagree. I differ from the plumeria101 site in that I put the plant in a minimum of potting mix, about an inch or so on the bottom of the pot and another inch or so more after putting the cutting into the pot. I also put multiple cuttings in a single pot with this method, and let them develop roots before putting them into their own pot. They need plenty of bottom heat. You can put the pot on concrete or rocks in the sun or use a heat mat. You can tell they have developed roots when they have three or four real leaves. Mike...See MoreTips on replanting/potting
Comments (2)I would agree. You can keep the potted plants in the shade for a few weeks until they recover some of their feeder roots. Or sometimes this late in the year you could plant them where they are to go, but make a shade for them with a beach umbrella or a box propped up on sticks. I guess it goes without saying that when digging try to get, and keep intact, as much root ball as you can. Also be sure and cut back the top of the plant by one third to a half to compensate for the tender little feeder roots being broken. I know it's painful to do that, but the plant will lose moisture through the leaves faster than it can be replaced by the compromised root system. Keep the soil damp, but not wet. Using root stimulator, sold at all nurseries and big box stores, will help. I try to keep it on hand for when I transplant larger plants. We are wishing you the best!...See MoreUser
