Care

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 plants have a height of 60-70cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17cm.
