Otherwise, the tree will draw too much water and can cause waterlogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon receiving your plant, repot it into a slightly larger pot, which must have drainage holes. Avoid saucers that prevent residual water from draining away and promote fungal diseases. Choose fine potting soil, preferably with added perlite or sand to lighten the substrate (do not use garden soil or acidic soil like heather).

Then plan two repottings per year (spring and autumn), gradually increasing the size of the pot and adapting it to the size of the root network (the roots must have space, but not too much as the plant must be able to dry its substrate between waterings). This avoids having to add fertilizer, which always risks burning the delicate roots of the plants and causing the plant to wither as soon as fertilization is stopped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModerate watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e watering should be abundant (the entire root ball should be wet), but wait until the substrate has dried deeply before watering again (you can stick your finger into the soil: as long as you feel moisture, do not water). Your baobab will recover better from water scarcity than from excess water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace it in a warm and bright location, such as a veranda (in summer) or behind a window.

During the dry season, the baobab reduces its metabolism but does not \"shut down\" completely like beech or oak trees in Europe. Its survival of the dry phase depends on the water stored in special cells in the trunk, branches, and roots. However, water storage comes with a disadvantage: baobabs cannot tolerate frost. They freeze to death as succulents would.
