Pachira Money Tree

A braided-stem favourite with glossy green leaves and a strong, upright presence.

Pachira

Pachira aquatica, commonly known as Money Tree, is grown for its palmate foliage and distinctive braided trunk. Naturally a tropical tree, it adapts well to indoor conditions and maintains a tidy, structured shape. Its clean lines and manageable size make it a popular choice for homes and offices.

Caring for Pachira Money Tree

 Light Needs

Bright, indirect light is ideal, though Pachira will tolerate medium light. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

 Watering

Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings. Money Trees prefer consistent moisture but should never sit in water.

 Feeding

Fertilize once or twice a month during spring and summer with an all-purpose houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter as growth slows.
