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.

Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves, Pattern Name: 8 Exfoliating Gloves
These are a absolutely excellent pair of gloves and I am very impressed with them. They are a great price for the quantity and quality of the gloves. I have used exfoliating gloves before but they were extremely cheap and of poor quality coming from China and I was never very impressed. These gloves are of another caliber entirely. They feel nice to the touch, aren't scratchy or irritating to be worn on your hand while your exfoliating with them. Some other gloves or exfoliating stones are abrasive and when you are done they leave your skin raw and irritated but these ones did not do that, they gently rubbed dead skin off and I could actually see it coming off in tiny little peices and when I was done my skin was so soft and clean afterwards and I have never had any exfoliating product do that before. I bought some sun laboratiories exfoliating body gel once before and I used it with these gloves and it worked fantastically as well.

I am in love with this mitt
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove, Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
I am in love with this mitt!!! I am a long time user of the sun laboratories sunnless tanning lotion line of products and I use them all the time to give myself a wonderful golden bronze looking tan and generally it comes off easily with soap and water but sometimes it doesn't come off as well and I still look a different color than what I actually am. So I came across this mitt when I was looking online to buy more of the sunnless tanning lotion that I always use and it was reccomended that I try this out. I bought it thinking that this could be what I need to help my skin look better and I was not disappointed when I used this. It gently rubbed all the sunnless tanner lotion off and my skin looked back to normal, there was a major difference in my skin tone from before and after I used it. This mitt also works if you use the sunnless tanning lotion repeatedly for several days or weeks in a row and don't have time to properly exfoliate to get it all off in between each time that you use the sunnless tanning lotion. It easily rubbs off all the built up layers than can get gross and make your skin look off.

Works great!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This mit works great! I used a tanning lotion and as it started to rub off I needed something to help make my skin even again. The shower water was brown as the water rinsed my skin and the mit. So I know it was working! It is a little rough on your skin to hell scratch it off but overall I recommend.

Got me out of a MESS!
Pattern Name: 1 Exfoliation Glove
This thing is LEGIT. I gave myself a less-than-stellar at-home tan and fell asleep while it was developing- woke up 7 hours later to a HOT MESS. It was horrible. (I also tried a new self-tan company and the product did not work my skin tone AT a ALL- lesson learned!) After looking at different options, i saw this mitt and figured “what do I have to lose”... the mitt itself feels like sandpaper. I got it wet and applied a body scrub with it and scrubbed- HARD. It hurt like a mother but I could see the tan coming off of my skin. Dont think it’s going to magically take off your tan... you need to REALLY get in there. I now use this mitt 2x a week for normal exfoliating and it’s amazing... don’t think you only need to use it for a shotty fake tan. DEFINITELY worth your money.
