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.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.

Stunning Gentleman's Watch
Color: Grey
This is my second Tissot watch. It's quite stunning in person. The online photos don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive gentleman's watch which makes this purchase a great bargain. Tissot is a great reliable Swiss made watch brand. My first Tissot watch which is probably more than 20 years old still runs great. Very pleased with this purchase.

Good Tissot Watch
Color: Grey
Arrived on time, in its original box, include a 2 year international warranty, into the box include a book with the Tissot brand history in Switzerland. Algo a second book with a whole catalog of Tissot watches men and women. The watch looks better when you put in on your wrist. The “naval” blue really gives the clock a classy look. The stainless steel workmanship is really good, the metal is bright and perfectly polished. The metal wristband quality is very good, did not have any problem to adjust the size , I went to my preferred clock workshop for this job, they extracted a few pieces of the band to fit to my small wrist size. Have to get used to the butterfly latch, but after a few days, now I learned to open and close it without any effort. The clock it’s very accurate, I’ve been using my Tissot for near a month and it just increased a few seconds per week. I do the setup and check accuracy with my pc clock. In short, It”s a good value watch, nice, good looking, accurate.
