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.

Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grown in, depending on availability or time of year.
Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered
light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do
NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour
off any excess water after a few minutes.
The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot
area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended
periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
