  1. Hello, thank you for this article. I have recently purchased a 13″ Money Tree in a 4.5″ – 5″ disposable plastic pot. I would like to put the tree in a ceramic pot, but I’m wondering if it needs to be an unglazed ceramic pot to allow for proper drainage/air circulation. The ceramic pots in the link you shared are beautiful (also unavailable), but they are fully glazed, which would greatly reduce their ability to dry out the soil like a terracotta pot would. Can you advise regarding whether the ceramic needs to be unglazed to be healthy for the money tree? And do you have any recommendations for unglazed, bright white ceramic pots, if so?

    1. For your Money Tree, proper drainage is more critical than whether the pot is glazed or unglazed. Ensure the ceramic pot you choose has drainage holes at the bottom. Glazed pots can work well if they allow excess water to escape, preventing root rot. If you prefer the look of white ceramic, you can certainly find both glazed and unglazed options with adequate drainage. Just monitor your watering practices, as glazed pots retain moisture longer than unglazed terracotta.
      If you are looking for something unglazed, i would rather go for terracotta pots like this one:https://amzn.to/3wH0jsR
