I just bought my first houseplant, a money tree, and I'm not sure what to do next. It's in a pot already, but should I repot it into something bigger right away? Any advice would be appreciated!

Yes, you should definitely consider getting a larger pot if the roots are a bit cramped. When I got mine, I noticed the roots were tied up in the plastic, which held it back at first. I upgraded to a bigger pot, and it’s grown so much over the past year! Just make sure to cut any plastic off before repotting.
Aim for a pot that's about 6 to 8 inches wider than the current one, and try to choose one that's quite full. This gives your money tree plenty of space to spread out. You'll see it thrive in no time!
How much bigger should I go?
Awesome, thanks so much! 🙂
