Pachira aquatica 'Money Tree'

With its beautiful large leaves and finely woven stems, the Pachira is a beautiful and special plant. A relatively thin and flexible stem is created, which can be braided. In East Asia, the Pachira is seen as an element that brings prosperity and happiness into the home according to the teachings of Feng Shui. The 5 leaves on each branch symbolize the 5 basic elements of Feng Shui: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Furthermore, the Pachira is a plant with many nicknames. The most common name is the 'Money Tree'. The plant owes this name to the fact that in the Far East it is believed that the leaves can catch money. This makes this plant an ideal gift for a birthday, housewarming or wedding. The Pachira is a real tropical plant. It is native to the swamps of Eastern Brazil, Panama and Costa Rica. Here the plant can grow up to 20 meters high.

Care
The Pachira is ideal for people who sometimes forget about their plants, because it does not make many demands. And the braided stem makes the Pachira look very special! The Pachira likes a light spot, and not too close to the window. It stores water in its trunk, so the soil must be dry before it gets water again. In the winter, the plant likes to be watered, this prevents leaf loss and stimulates the production of new leaves. Old leaves can be cut away without any problems. In the summer, the plant needs water about twice a week.

Format
The plant has a height of 60-70cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17cm.
