    They need bright sunlight, as bright as you can give them if you are growing it indoors. They do not like to be in wet soil, but also they need to have water available. So, look for a well draining soil, but check the soil frequently and water it if it dry to the touch on top. Fertilize it once every 3-4 months or so.

    How tall is your monkey puzzle tree and what size pot is it in now? a tree that is a few feet tall would probably do well in a 7 to 15 gallon pot - the bigger the pot the more years of growth it will have in that pot.

    The best soil for monkey puzzle trees is a very well-drained soil containing a high proportion of bark, coconut coir, expanded clay, and such materials in addition to a smaller amount of organic matter. You can start with a smaller container and repot in larger containers as the tree grows. This article has more information on fertilizer:
