Money Tree

Pachira aquatica

  • This intriguing and fun plant, which has its origins in Asia, is thought to bring good fortune and luck to any home in which it resides.
  • It is said that the 5 braided stems signify $$$ coming into the home and the 5 leaves on each branch symbolize the 5 fundamental Feng Shui elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
  • Grow this plant in medium-to bright light and allow it to dry out between waterings. Vigorous and fast growing, control size by pinching off the growing tips. Works well when shaped as a Bonsai.
  • Water when soil is dry to the touch (about once a week).
