The Pachira aquatica, commonly known as the Money Tree or Braided Stem plant, is a popular indoor houseplant admired for its distinctive braided trunk and lush, glossy green foliage. Native to Central and South America, it features palmate leaves that radiate in elegant clusters, giving it a fresh, tropical appearance. Its sculptural form and association with good fortune and prosperity make it a favourite for both homes and workspaces.
This particular plant stands approximately 150cm tall and is presented in a plastic house plant pot measuring 32cm deep and 32cm wide. Its upright yet airy growth habit makes it ideal for bright living rooms, offices, hallways, or any indoor space that benefits from a calming, natural statement.

Please Note: Measurements given are approximate. Depending on the season, the appearance of the plant may vary. The plant you receive may differ slightly in size and shape from the photo if it has grown or been pruned since.
Pachira aquatica thrives indoors year-round. It prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions better than many tropical plants. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as this can cause leaf scorch.
Position in a warm room away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes. Rotate occasionally to encourage balanced growth and maintain its symmetrical canopy.
Watering
No strict schedule — watering needs vary depending on light levels, room temperature, humidity, and pot size.
Allow the top 2–3cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly until excess drains from the bottom, and never allow the plant to sit in standing water. Reduce watering during autumn and winter.
Feeding
Feed every two to four weeks from March to October with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding during the dormant winter months.
Prune during the growing season (spring and summer) to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Simply trim above a leaf node using clean, sharp tools.
Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their natural glossy appearance.

Repot every 1–2 years in spring using a well-draining houseplant compost. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
