Reasons for transplanting a monkey tree

The monkey tree needs a convenient location if it is to thrive outdoors. If it is in a bad place, it can make sense to replant it.

A favorable location offers the following requirements:

• enough space
• permeable substrate
• lots of light
• Protection from severe frosts

If these requirements cannot be met, it is better to transplant it. This is especially true if the previous location is too dark or there is a risk of waterlogging.

When is the best time to transplant?

The Araucaria is a warmth-loving conifer. Transplanting should therefore never be carried out when it is too cold. It is best to transplant the monkey tree in early summer or early autumn.

So is transplanted

• Dig a new planting hole
• Mix in sand or gravel if necessary
• Dig up araucaria generously
• put in the new planting hole
• Carefully press the earth down
• Water the monkey tree well

Do not forget to water the monkey tree well after transplanting it without the accumulation of moisture. For the first time afterwards, you should water it regularly to prevent the needles from turning brown.

When do you need to repot a monkey tree in a bucket?

It is better to grow non-hardy monkey tree varieties in the bucket so that you can keep them frost-free overwinter can. If the Araucaria is grown in the bucket, you have to repot it occasionally.

It is time for a new planter when the previous pot is completely rooted. Repotting takes place in spring or early summer.

Prepare a slightly larger pot by filling it with fresh substrate. Shake off the old soil before placing the monkey tree in the new container. Water frequently. There is no fertilization in the first few months after repotting.
