Pachira Aquatica with Braided Stem
The Pachira Aquatica is commonly known as the 'money tree' or 'water cacao'. This tropical plant originates from South America, where it thrives in periodically flooded areas.
The plant reaches up to 80 cm in height, perfect for a modest indoor setting. Its unique braided stem adds an intriguing architectural element to any room.
The 'money tree' is not only admired for its aesthetic appeal but also for its symbolism. In Asia, particularly known as the 'Malabar chestnut', it is believed to bring business success and prosperity—hence its frequent appearance in offices.
Care Tips:
- Light: Place in a well-lit spot but avoid direct sunlight.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.
- Humidity: Prefers higher humidity. Consider misting the leaves occasionally.
- Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 18-24°C. Protect from cold drafts.
- Feeding: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every month during the growing season (spring and summer).
This plant is easy to care for and brings a touch of the tropics to your indoor space. Its braided stem is a conversational piece, and its presence adds a sense of calm and well-being.
