# Cut back my money tree on April 19th. It was over 6ft tall but not…

Cut back my money tree on April 19th. It was over 6ft tall but not full, just very leggy. I repotted it back to a smaller pot. ( yes I know I put it in a pot that was too big) It has already grown a lot in such a short time.

Wait… that’s only 2 months of growth?!?!?

Yes, I was surprised too!! I watched a YouTube video of a guy cutting like this and it only took about 2 months to grow back fully. This is what made me just say I am going to try that. It worked 😊
