Pachira aquatica (Money Tree) is a tropical tree grown indoors for its braided trunks and lush, hand-shaped leaves. It’s hardy, forgiving, and often gifted as a symbol of luck and prosperity.
Foliage: Glossy, palmate leaves with 5–7 leaflets; fresh growth is bright green.
Habit/size: Typically 3–6 ft indoors (much taller outdoors); trunks are often braided when young.
Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light—avoid harsh midday sun.
Water: Let the top 1–2 in of soil dry, then water thoroughly; dislikes soggy roots.
Humidity & temp: Prefers ≥50% RH and 65–85°F; keep away from cold drafts/heaters.
Soil: Well-draining mix (potting soil + bark/perlite); pot with drainage.
Care notes: Rotate for even growth; prune to shape. Braids are easiest to maintain while stems are flexible.
Feeding: Light fertilizer in spring–summer.
Pet safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
