☑ Provides plant-boosting nutrients, enabling the rapid growth of your money tree plant

Vegan Compost

Our all-natural, aged compost increases the organic matter of the soil mix, creating soil that’s well-draining and better structured — ideal for your money tree plant. 

It’s also an incredible source of plant-boosting nutrients, ensuring your money tree gets the necessary plant food for rapid growth. 

Carbon-Negative Biochar

Biochar is a sustainable and versatile soil amendment that enhances nutrient retention, soil aeration, water conservation, and root development. 

Moreover, it traps atmospheric carbon dioxide in the soil! Every ton of biochar produced captures three tons of CO2 from the carbon cycle — preventing it from adding to greenhouse gas levels. 

So it’s a better resource for money tree plant care than unsustainable ingredients, like peat moss, perlite, pumice, vermiculite, and coco coir.

Root-Boosting Mycorrhizae

Our root-enriching mycorrhizal fungi improve your money tree’s root system, boosting its ability to absorb water and essential nutrients. 

These plant-friendly fungi also help protect your money tree (and other indoor plants) from insects, like aphids, and diseases caused by soil-borne pathogens. 

Step 1: Pre-Moisten

We highly recommend moistening Rosy before adding it to your indoor plants. 

To do so, add this money tree soil to a pot and sprinkle it with water until it holds enough to release a few drops when squeezed. 

Step 2: Pot or repot

Take a container with a drainage hole and fill 1/3 with the premoistened Rosy Money Tree Soil Mix. 

Step 3: Plant

Remove your money tree plant from its current soil or container. Then, clear out any additional debris from the root ball before placing the plant into the new pot. 

Fill the remaining space with more pre-moistened Rosy, leaving an inch or two at the top for the first watering.

Step 4: Water

Money plants require thorough watering. 

Water the plant from the top and let the excess water drain completely. 

But since biochar can retain water for a long time, we recommend bottom watering going ahead, with an occasional top watering to flush salts from the soil.

At Rosy, our mission is to cultivate earth-positivity. So our entire supply chain, from production to delivery, has a net negative carbon footprint

What’s our secret? We consciously curate the most sustainable shipping, packaging, and eco-friendly ingredients, like biochar. 

In fact, each bag of money tree soil captures more than 2 kg of CO2 from the carbon cycle.

About Money Tree Soil & Care

Money tree (Pachira aquatica) is a tropical plant from South America that’s kept as a houseplant for good luck. 

This fascinating plant is also known as Guiana chestnut or Malabar chestnut.

What’s so interesting about this indoor plant?

  • Its five-leaf branches are thought to represent the five Feng Shui elements. 
  • Sometimes, you may find an extra leaf (or two), which supposedly brings good fortune and good luck. 
  • The braided money tree we know as an indoor plant is a decorated rendition of the plant found in the native habitat. The braided trunks are designed by growers when the plant is young to create an appealing bonsai plant. 

Moreover, it’s a low-maintenance plant that you can easily nurture when paired with the right soil.

Let’s now look at the basics of money tree plant care:

1. Find the Best Money Tree Soil

Choosing the best soil is vital for money tree care. 

Why?

Money tree plants can survive in most types of indoor soil, like succulents and cactus soil. However, they won’t thrive in those mixes. 

To maximize their growth potential, they need a soil mix with:

  • Good drainage and water retention to keep the plant’s root system moist but not wet. Retaining excess water can cause root rot in your money plant.
  • Loose and aerated soil to enable root growth.
  • Essential nutrients or fertilizer for plant growth. 

2. Provide Good Money Plant Care

Sure, using the right soil is important. But that’s not the only aspect of money tree care! 

Follow these handy tips to help your money tree thrive:

  • This houseplant needs indirect light. But since it’s a tropical plant, keep it in low light areas with high humidity. 
  • You can keep it in an office with fluorescent light and humidifiers, even if it doesn’t get indirect sunlight.
  • Use a container with a drainage hole 2-3 inches larger than the plant’s root ball.
  • Water the plant only when the top 2-4 inches of soil dry out. While watering, add water until it flows out of the drainage hole.
  • During the growing season (spring to fall), add fertilizer once a month. 
  • For bonsai plant care, prune any leaf or branch that grows too wide. You can use cuttings of stems with green leaves for propagation.
  • Repot the plant every 2-3 years in fresh soil.

3. Identify Money Tree Problems

Address these money plant care issues as soon as possible:

  • Scorched money tree leaves are a common problem when the plant receives direct sunlight. Move it into an area with bright indirect light (fluorescent light or sunlight) and more humidity.
  • Yellow leaves could mean your money plant isn’t getting enough sunlight. So, keep the plant in an area with bright light.
  • Drooping leaves are a common problem with ineffective watering or unsuitable potting soil.  
  • Root rot and brown spots on the leaves can indicate overwatering or bad drainage. So, reduce your watering frequency or add fresh soil to your soil mix to improve drainage.

Interesting soil seems great.

I’ve transplanted all that I could for about 3 weeks now and all of the plants appear very happy. I enjoyed working with it also. I would definitely plant more of my plants in the soil.

My plants love it!

I’m really happy with this soil mix. I repotted four plants with this mix 2 months ago and my plants are very happy. My monstera has grown 6 new leaves sine repotting. I did major surgery on my jade and it has put out so many new little leaves. I do pick out little mushrooms often but it doesn’t bother me. Will be purchasing again.

Repotting my plants

I received my FIRST order on Saturday. The bag was huge! I repotted my neanthe Bella palm and she is adjusting nicely. Then I used the rest to repot a huge sansevieria that I received last month and which was rootbound. This soil was extremely easy to work with and I managed to transfer my sansevieria into a larger pot with no difficulty. I appreciate the time which the team has taken to answer all of my questions regarding this soil. I am highly recommending and will definitely purchase again

Grew a new leaf!

I planted some cuttings from a plant I dropped. At first I was a little apprehensive because the soil is really dark lol….but after 3 weeks she seems to be doing great. She even grew a new leaf 🤗.

Love this soil!!

I got a bag of Rosy just in time to repot a few plants. Loved it so much that I ordered two more bags. I absolutely loved how well my plant babies adjusted, there was no stress or plant shock. They have been rocking it out in Rosy soil for a good 3-weeks now, still doing great and even have new growth on a few.

Plants are thriving.

I've been using ROSY soil for a little over a year now, and my plants have never been happier. I've noticed a significant improvement in the overall health of my pothos, with extremely fast growth. It's very easy to work with and provides everything your plant needs to thrive. I was able to use the abundance of growth to propagate more healthy pothos plants - all potted in ROSY. I would recommend this to any plant parent!
