Her braided or upright stems and bright green leaflets bring a calm, tropical feel while staying refreshingly simple to care for. Stylish, unusual and full of character, she is a brilliant choice for adding something special to the plant shelf.

The Formal Name: Pachira aquatica
The Nickname: Money Tree
Roots: A tropical wetland tree from Central and South America, grown indoors as a compact foliage plant.
Natural Vibe: Bright indirect light, warmth and even moisture without leaving the roots waterlogged.

Care Guide

Care Guide:

Sunlight: Bright indirect light keeps the plant looking its best.

Best Room: A bright shelf, windowsill set back from harsh sun or plant display works well.

Snacks: Feed lightly in the growing season with a balanced houseplant fertiliser.

Tropical Feels: Average to moderate humidity is fine for most homes.

Cosy Factor: Keep warm and avoid cold draughts.

Thirst: Water when the top layer starts to dry, adjusting for season and room temperature.

Safety First: Pet-friendly – generally considered a safer choice around cats and dogs, though nibbling is still best avoided.

The Bedding: Use a free-draining peat-free houseplant mix.

Family Tree: Propagation is usually by stem cuttings when growth is active.

Space Needs: Trim or train as needed to suit your display.

Speed: Usually moderate in bright warmth.

Uninvited Guests: Watch for aphids, mealybugs and spider mites on new growth.

Moving Day: Repot when roots fill the pot or watering becomes difficult.

Haircut: Pinch or prune to keep growth bushy and tidy.

Fresh Air: A decorative foliage plant for adding colour, shape and texture indoors.

Plant Lore: Regular turning helps decorative foliage plants grow evenly rather than leaning toward the light.
