Pachira Aquatica (Pachira twisted trunk)
Pachira aquatica, commonly known as the money tree plant, is a popular ornamental houseplant that is said to bring good luck, prosperity, and good fortune according to the Chinese Feng Shui. This type of money plant is usually seen with a braided or twisted trunk and has lush green foliage growing at the top. Money trees are popular indoor bonsai plants due to their reputation for inviting wealth and being easy to care for and look after. To care for your Pachira aquatica, grow it in bright indirect light and plant it in well-draining potting soil. Only water when the topsoil is completely dry and keep high humidity levels. The ideal temperature range is between 53°F and 77°F (12°C – 25°C). Fertilize twice a year in spring and fall. Pachira aquatica is a tropical tree species in the family of plants named Malvaceae. This means that money trees are related to hibiscus, cotton, and cacao plants. Other names for this type of money tree include Malabar chestnut, Provision tree, Guiana chestnut, and French Peanut. In the wild, Malabar chestnuts (Pachira aquatica) can grow up to 60 ft. (18 m) tall. As an indoor ornamental plant, it is grown as a bonsai tree where its height and growth can be regulated with care and pruning. When growing outdoors, money trees have distinctly showy flowers. As an indoor houseplant, money trees rarely, if ever, flower. Usually, an indoor money tree grows to between 1 and 6 ft. (0.3 – 1.8 m) tall.
