Advice for beginner

[Green777]

I’ve inherited a huge indoor chestnut tree, ‘plant’, while being transported it became uprooted. So i moistened the soil and arranged it back as well as I could.

What type of pot will I need for it to stabilise it and then there’s so many types of pot, should I get one with a drain or holes? What type of pot will also help the root not to rot?

That is, if it isn’t already irreparably damaged.

Looking for any advice from you green fingered ladies!

Pot with drainage holes, inside a waterproof pot or on a saucer. Not sure how well a chestnut would do indoors though. It's a big outdoor tree. Will need lots of light, and probably isn't keen on central heating.

Thank you so much, I managed to get one.

Apparently it’s a money tree but it’s huge, and very well established so I think moving it in the first place may have been a mistake.

I’ll do my best to keep it alive and have been reading up on the best conditions for it.

Ah that makes much more sense than chestnut. Good luck with it.

How's your Money Tree doing now @Green777?

Thank you for asking!

I repotted and used some highly recommended plant food to give it a boost and it’s doing well!

The original owner assured me it’s very hardy and low maintenance which is great.

It’s a beast of a tree over 10 feet tall - my ceilings are high thankfully!
