  • Native to central and south America, Pachira Stump Money Tree, or Pachira aquatica, is a part of the Malvaceae family. In its natural habitat, this tropical evergreen tree can grow up to 65 feet. Money Tree's long thin five-lobed leaves form an umbrella shape above its trunk.Braided money trees are actually multiple plants that have had their trunks woven together during growth while they're flexible.

    This listing is for a braided money tree (Multiple Pachira Stump with their trunks woven together)

    The most interesting thing about Money Tree plant is that, unlike most tropical houseplants, it doesn't require a lot of water. It stores water in its chunky trunk.

    In Chinese Feng Shui, Money Tree is a symbol of luck and prosperity, as good fortune is believed to be trapped within this plant's trunk, and the number five in its five-lobed leaves is also a lucky number. It is also useful in purifying your indoor air!

    Money Stump Tree isn't likely to bloom indoors, but a matured Pachira aquatica growing in an ideal outdoor condition can produce yellow flowers and edible nuts.

  • Money Tree likes bright, indirect sunlight, as harsh direct sunlight may scorch its leaves. It needs 4-6 hours of light daily, and too little light would stunt its growth. This plant tolerates fluorescent light, so it makes for a perfect office plant.

    This plant needs less water than an average houseplant, as it can store water in its trunk.Water only when the top 2'' of the soil is dry and drain well after each watering to avoid root rot. Water thoroughly and let the soil dry out between waterings.

    This plant prefers well-draining soils. Use a peat moss-based potting mix and add some perlite for a good drainage.

    Money Tree thrives in temperatures between 65°F-80°F. Like most houseplants, it needs a humidity level of at least 50% all year round. Use a humidifier and mist your plant when the weather is dry, especially during winter.

    This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

    This plant is mildly toxic so keep it out of reach of curious children and pets.

    When you purchase online, your plants have to go through lots of stress while traveling so they may need a few days to adjust to their new environment and thrive.

  • It’s advised that you should repot the plant as soon as you get it. After repotting, your new houseplant will most likely struggle with transplant shock. It may appear droopy, faded, or have a slower growth rate than usual during this time. This is completely normal, and it’s also normal for transplant shock to hit especially hard after repotting a brand-new houseplant. To make sure your plant has plenty of time to adjust to its new surroundings, wait a day after potting and water your plant. Make sure any excess water drains completely from the pot afterward. Monitor your soil’s moisture levels daily to start creating a watering routine. To help perk up your new houseplant, we recommend adding a little water-soluble fertilizer, compost, or sugar water to your soil to boost its nutrients and help it grow.
