# Sharing my new addition to the family. Any tips would be greatly…

Sharing my new addition to the family. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Haven’t had the best of luck with money trees in the past. One thing I’ll do differently this time is keeping the soil a tad bit moist \& not allow it to dry up completely.

It will need a bigger pot and more soil for its roots to spread into to support its size! 💚

Thank you 😊 Can you recommend the best type of soil to use?

i'm sorry for the late reply, but pachiras like well-draining soil, which means the soil has chunkier ingredients like pebbles, sand or perlite.

No worries I appreciate the response
