Pachira aquatica

Pachira aquatica is a tropical wetland tree with palmate green leaves, smooth young stems, and a tree-like outline. Each leaf is divided into long leaflets arranged like fingers from a central point, giving the plant a lush but still tidy shape in a pot.

In the wild, Pachira aquatica grows in freshwater swamps, estuaries, riverbanks, and tropical rainforest habitats from Mexico into northern South America. Indoors it behaves as a manageable woody houseplant: it needs bright indirect light, regular moisture with oxygen around the roots, and a container that never traps stagnant water.

Indoor tree traits

  • Growth habit: A woody tropical tree that stays container-sized through pruning and restricted root space.
  • Leaf shape: Glossy palmate leaves carry several narrow leaflets from one central point.
  • Stem detail: Young stems are green to smooth brown and thicken gradually as the plant matures.
  • Wetland origin: Natural wetland habitats mean the plant dislikes total drought, but potted roots still need air.
  • Common names: Often called money tree, Malabar chestnut, Guiana chestnut, or saba nut in horticulture.

Wetland roots in a pot

Pachira aquatica is an accepted species in Malvaceae, the mallow family. Outdoors in frost-free tropical regions it can become a sizeable evergreen tree, but container plants remain far smaller and tolerate pruning well. New leaves usually appear from the stem tips, so cutting back a leggy shoot can encourage a fuller outline when the plant is actively growing.

Its native habitats are consistently moist, but indoor pots need a balance between water and air. In freshwater swamps, riverbanks, and estuarine edges, moisture is paired with moving water, open ground, and oxygen around the roots. In a closed pot, heavy wet substrate can turn sour quickly. A free-draining mix, a pot with drainage holes, and a steady watering rhythm keep moisture available without leaving the roots stagnant.

Care for steady palmate leaf growth

  • Light: Give bright indirect light, with soft morning or evening sun where available; very dim corners lead to weak, sparse growth.
  • Watering: Water when the upper part of the substrate has dried, then let excess water drain fully from the pot.
  • Substrate: Use an airy houseplant mix with bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice, or similar drainage material.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually tolerated, while stable warmth and airflow matter more than constantly wet leaves.
  • Temperature: Keep above 15°C and protect from cold drafts, especially after watering.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during spring and summer when new leaves are forming, then reduce feeding in slower winter growth.
  • Pruning: Trim overlong shoots in active growth to keep the plant balanced and encourage new side shoots.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, moving only one pot size up to avoid excess wet substrate around the root ball.

Leaf and stem warning signs

  • Yellowing leaves: Check for a pot sitting wet for too long, poor drainage, or cold roots after watering.
  • Drooping leaflets: Often points to dry roots or a sudden change in light, temperature, or watering rhythm.
  • Leaf drop: Can follow relocation, cold drafts, or repeated drought; stabilise conditions and avoid moving the plant often.
  • Soft stem base: Inspect immediately for root or stem rot, especially if the substrate smells sour or remains wet for many days.
  • Brown leaflet tips: Check watering consistency, mineral build-up, and hot direct sun through glass.

Flowering and fruiting indoors

Pachira aquatica may flower and fruit outdoors in tropical climates, producing large flowers and woody capsules with seeds, but indoor plants rarely reach that stage. As a houseplant, it usually shows its leafy crown and woody stem growth rather than flowers.

Pet safety and plant handling

Pachira aquatica is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Treat indoor plants as ornamental houseplants, and keep fallen leaves or pruned stems away from pets or children that chew plants.

What aquatica refers to

Pachira aquatica Aubl. was first published by Jean Baptiste Christophore Fusée Aublet in 1775. The genus name Pachira is derived from a Guyanese name, while aquatica refers to the plant’s association with water and wet tropical habitats.

Pachira aquatica develops the familiar money tree form through palmate green leaves, woody stems and steady indoor tree growth.

These are very nice but limited life
Size: 1pack, Color: Black, Size: 1pack, Color: Black
I got a couple of these for my wife's iphone 8+. They really are great in all charging respects when fed with a high power supply. But be aware they probably will not have long life. It depends on how often you plug/unplug the charger cord, and how you manhandle the charger itself. What I hate about these is the use of the USB micro charging port. If Anker were to use a USB type C charging port -maybe the lifespan would be greater. But I doubt it. This is why a 5 star item becomes a 3 star. The problem with USB ports as a power connector is that most people are rather klutzy with this connector while plugged into the charger's port. The USB micro connector socket is a very flimsy structure and not suited to heavy use (many plug/unplug or move cycles). If you are clumsy with plugging in the cable, you bend the outer metal housing that both guides the connector in while plugging, and also holds fast the connector so the contacts mate and remain in contact. Same is true if you move the charger body...it flexes the power cord which in turn wobbles the connector. Another great way to mangle the connector is moving or dropping the charger's body while the cord is connected. Anything that wobbles the cord while connected tends to waller out the USB port and after enough slop, the charger can become inoperative. Once the geometry of the housing is compromised, the electrical power connection becomes flaky (intermittent) and then you have a charger that may or may not work. So then you have a phone without the expected recharge. For most people this forces them to discard and re-purchase the charger. Call it designed-in obsolescence (shortened lifespan). I have seen this across a wide range of electrical items. Anything that uses the USB mini or micro port as an electrical path for the sole purpose of energy transference will eventually fail. USB type A (large rectangular) is less affected by this due to the heavier, robust structure. For me, I repair these by simply installing a permanently connected power cord. Soldered directly to the charger's circuit board. This is not something most people can do, and it requires intrusive access to the charger. On this model there are no screws to gain access to the connector and PCB...the case is permanently glued together. If Anker wanted to provide a better solution, they would deploy these with a barrel connector/power pack, but they play this game with the consumer forcing them to buy a separate, high-power pack that must be USB. bleah! Update 10 July 2023 Anker was graceful in contacting me the day after submitting this review and offering a full refund. Admittedly, I wrote this, feeling a bit frustrated that the product failed, but surprised with Anker's response with a request they be given another chance. Very commendable in today's world. +1 star for their diligence. Re: Duly noted. I'm sorry to have reported my experience with this product but it is the truth. Thanks but no thanks for the refund offer. I hardwired a power cord to the charger and now it works without intermittent behavior thus sustaining its use. Another chance? Of course. I like the product (and Anker) but do not like the micro USB connector it uses. I may follow up with a secondary comment on the rapidity of your response. This was a generalized comment for the industry to consider. I only apologize that it was targeted solely at Anker. You are not alone. Many of your competitor's products use the same connector so the consumer has little choice but to accept the limitations -or choose a product that does NOT use the mini or micro USB connector. Good luck with that.

Anker is the only option for your charging needs
Size: 1pack, Color: Black
The Anker 313 charging stand is a simple, reliable wireless charger that works great for my everyday use with my iPhone 16 Pro, especially for overnight charging. It’s a straightforward iPhone-compatible stand that may not be the best for speed, but this actually makes it ideal for bedside use. One of the best features is that it charges through thicker cases. My phone has a fairly bulky case and it still charges without any issues. Its magnet isn't strong, but it will do the job. As I noted, charging speed is moderate rather than fast. So it won’t top up your battery quickly during the day, but that’s actually perfect for overnight use since it charges steadily without generating excessive heat concerns. The stand design is also convenient because you can keep the phone upright for notifications or Face ID, and it can even charge in landscape orientation if you want to watch videos while it’s docked. Overall, the Anker 313 is a great budget-friendly wireless charger that does exactly what it needs to do. It is dependable charging, good case compatibility, and a stable stand design. It’s not meant to be the fastest charger, but for a nightstand setup with an iPhone 16 Pro, it’s a practical and reliable option. You can't go wrong with this one.

it works and it hasn’t failed me!
Size: 1pack, Color: Black
i’ve had this phone charger for a year and it works well! it charges decently and even flashes a little blue blinking light when it’s not placed on properly so you know if it’s charging or not. i will say the speed at which is charges is average, so it’s not a super fast charger.

Awesome product will not disappoint
Size: 1pack, Color: Black
This is something like the 5th+ one of these Anker 313 Wireless Charger Stands that I’ve purchased. Why 5+? Because these are really great wireless charging devices. I have bought myself a few, bought them for my sons and even, bought my ex-husband one. I’ve yet to have one not work, they just keep on providing a great charging system and having the cell phone sitting up like it does in the charger is a bonus. While cell is charging, if a call or text comes in, you can see that without picking up your cell. Also, you can be charging your device while you’re using it since this charging device props up your cell. On a side note, I did have a problem just recently with my cell not charging while on the stand, *BUT I found out it was the *charging cable that I had purchased separately that was defective. I replaced the cable with a new one and the Anker 313 Wireless Charger (Stand) was immediately charging again. If you are thinking about buying this charger, I recommend that you do. You will not be disappointed in this charger…

Good charger, great customer service
Size: 1pack, Color: Black
Charger is simple and works well. Stopped charging after a year, which is not very common for Anker, but I contacted support and they sent me a new one without a hassle, it has an 18 month warranty. I always liked this brand and this experience only reinforces their commitment to customer service.
