Pachira aquatica, commonly known as the Money Tree or Malabar Chestnut, is a tropical plant native to Central and South America. In cultivation, it is often styled with multiple young stems braided together while still flexible, creating the well-known Braided Money Tree form that has become a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in many cultures.

The tree produces glossy, palmate leaves, typically arranged in groups of five to seven leaflets that resemble an open hand. These bright green leaves are lush and vibrant, giving the plant a fresh, tropical look. When grown indoors, the braided trunk adds architectural interest and makes the plant particularly popular as both a decorative feature and a Feng Shui element, where it is believed to bring wealth and harmony.

Outdoors in its native range, Pachira aquatica can grow into a large tree producing edible nuts. Indoors, in its braided form, it usually reaches 1–2 metres in height, making it a manageable statement plant for homes and offices.


Braided Pachira aquatica – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It will tolerate some lower light but growth may slow. Avoid direct harsh sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

Watering

Water thoroughly when the top 3–5 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure excess water drains away and never allow the plant to sit in water, as this can cause root rot. Overwatering is the most common issue with Money Trees. In winter, reduce watering slightly.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–26°C. Keep away from draughts and protect from cold temperatures below 12°C.

  • Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity. Misting the leaves occasionally or using a humidifier will keep them looking fresh.

Soil and Potting

Use a peat-free, free-draining houseplant compost, ideally with added perlite or sand to improve aeration. Repot every 2–3 years in spring when roots outgrow the container.

Feeding

Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser. Feeding is not necessary in winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune to control height and encourage branching by cutting back stems just above a node. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s health and appearance.

Growth and Maturity

Indoors, the Braided Money Tree typically grows 1–2 metres tall. Growth is steady but not rapid, making it easy to maintain as a floor plant.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Usually caused by overwatering.

  • Brown leaf tips: Often due to low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Leaf drop: Stress from sudden environmental changes, such as moving location or draughts.

Background and Benefits

In Feng Shui tradition, the Money Tree is associated with good fortune, prosperity, and positive energy, especially when placed in living rooms or offices. Its braided trunk is said to “trap” good luck within. Beyond cultural symbolism, it is a resilient and attractive houseplant, with air-purifying properties and a strong tropical presence.

Durable Valet Tray
Color: Black, Color: Black
LOVE this leather valet tray. It’s a very well structured piece that seems like it’ll last. The leather looks flawless and is rather durable. I couldn’t be happier to finally have a place for my husband to drop all of his stuff from his pockets when he gets home from work.

Understated valet tray
Color: Gray, Color: Gray
I like the clean lines and simple shape and the unobtrusive stitching. I'm not crazy about the seam of where the sides of the tray meet, but if the tray is filled, it's not as noticeable. It's a nice catch-all to keep my desk clutter-free!

Great Tray For Storing My Everyday Carries
Size: 8.5" x 5.8" x 1.9", Color: Black
My everyday carry items (wallet, keys, etc.), used to just get thrown around wherever when I'd get home, but this little tray makes a great, defined, space for me to keep those things when I don't need them on me. The soft lining reduces the obnoxious sound of throwing keys on a hard surface, and of course keeps me from scratching up a surface. The build feels quality and I haven't seen any damage to it yet. Also the all black version with gold buckle looks quite good and adds a subtle touch of luxury. Absolute recommend for the price.
