Money Tree
About This Botanical
The Money Tree (Pachira aquatica), shipped in 4" and 6" nursery pots, features a distinct braided trunk crowned with a canopy of bright green palmate leaves. Revered in traditional feng shui for inviting positive energy, it makes an ideal tabletop or floor accent.
How to Care for Money Tree: Prefers medium to bright indirect sunlight and moderate humidity. Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, ensuring all excess water drains away freely. When repotting, use a nutrient-rich peat-perlite potting mix with good aeration.
Identification: Easily recognized by its hand-braided stem structure and clusters of 5 to 7 leaflets per leaf stalk.
Pet Safety: Non-toxic and safe for homes with curious cats and dogs.
