MONEY TREE PLANT (Guiana Chestnut)
Money tree plant, also known as Pachira aquatica, is a popular houseplant or indoor bonsai that has become a symbol of good luck and prosperity in many cultures. Native to tropical wetlands in Central and South America, this plant is a member of the bombax family and can grow up to 60 feet tall in its natural habitat. However, as a houseplant, the Money tree typically grows up to 6 feet tall and has a braided trunk that gives it a unique and interesting appearance.
The Money tree is easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of lighting conditions, including low to bright indirect light. It prefers well-draining soil and should be watered regularly, but not overwatered, as too much water can lead to root rot. It’s important to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, and to avoid standing water in the saucer or container.
One of the unique features of the Money tree is its braided trunk, which is created by growing three to five stems together and then twisting them to form a braid. This braided trunk not only adds to the plant’s aesthetic appeal, but also helps it to store water, which allows it to go longer between waterings.
The Money tree plant is also believed to have symbolic and spiritual significance in many cultures. In Feng Shui, it is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune to its owner. The five leaves of the Money tree represent the five elements of Feng Shui – wood, water, earth, metal, and fire – and the plant is often given as a gift to wish someone good luck in their endeavors.
In addition to its symbolic and spiritual significance, the Money tree plant is also valued for its air-purifying properties. It is known to remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air, making it a great choice for indoor environments where air quality may be a concern.
Overall, the Money tree is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for houseplant that adds both aesthetic appeal and a touch of good luck to any home or office. With its braided trunk, attractive foliage, and air-purifying properties, it’s no wonder that the Money tree has become such a popular and beloved plant around the world.
Care
Money Trees are an excellent plant for both indoor and outdoor growth. They have lush, bright green leaves and are super hardy. Caring for a bonsai, including the Braided Money Tree, takes time and attention. To keep your plant healthy and thriving, follow some simple tips.
WATERING
Taking care of a Braided Money Tree is easy – it doesn’t need much water. Once a week is enough for most plants, but some can even go a month with just a cup of water. Spraying some water on the leaves once in a while is also a good idea as it helps keep the plant hydrated and clean.
SOIL
To keep your Money Tree healthy, it’s important to have the right soil mixture in the pot. A good mixture includes a blend of earth and small gravel pebbles, with drain holes covered by mesh to allow proper water flow while retaining the soil. Adding river rock to the mix helps create pores in the soil to improve drainage. Some bonsai enthusiasts even prefer a mix of peat, vermiculite and perlite.
LOCATION
Give your Money Tree a cozy spot with moderate sunlight. This plant can handle a range of light conditions, but it’ll thrive with a mix of sun and shade. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so it’s best to keep it in a spot with bright indirect light. If you’re keeping it outdoors, it’ll love a sunny to partially shaded spot. Just be mindful of the heat and provide some shade during scorching hot days.
In cooler months, remember to bring it inside if temperatures dip below 50°F. This plant is native to a hot and humid environment, so it won’t do well in the cold. For indoor plants, rotate the pot regularly to ensure even growth and leafing. Even if it’s in a low-light area, the Money Tree can still survive for a long time.
FERTILIZING
Taking care of your Braided Money Tree doesn’t require much fertilizer. In fact, it only needs to be fertilized twice a year, in the spring and fall, with a time-released bonsai fertilizer. To help it thrive, just trim off any dead leaves and make sure it gets plenty of fresh air. With these simple steps, your Money Tree can live a long and healthy life!
PRUNE
To promote growth, regular pruning of the leaves is recommended. Trim away any browning leaves if you want new growth or if your plant is wilting. Pruning can be done at any time of the year and new leaves will soon sprout. The Braided Money Tree is often displayed in a braided or knotted form, which is achieved by shaping the stalks when they are young and pliable. By cutting the stem, you can prune the money tree and eventually new growth will emerge at the cut.
REPOTTING
Your Money Tree will be better from re-potting every two to three years, particularly during springtime or when it seems excessively thirsty. Prune the roots gently and provide a soil mix that includes river sand for optimal drainage.
CONCLUSION
These plants are very robust and any issues are likely the result of excessive watering or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If you’re new to bonsai, the Braided Money Tree is an excellent choice as it is beginner-friendly.

Less than four months have passed, and my money trees are already growing splendidly! I would definitely buy them again
Paul B. (Verified Buyer) –
We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent value of this tree. It was evident that the company takes great care in packaging and is proud of their work. Our tree, which measured just over 12 inches, looks fantastic and has found a perfect spot near a window. We are thrilled with our purchase
Robert (Verified Buyer) –
Very fast delivery.
JAVIER (Verified Buyer) –
I gave two as a housewarming gift, but the third one is thriving under my care. The shipping and condition upon arrival were both excellent.
Emily (Verified Buyer) –
This adorable little tree was packaged with great care for shipping, arriving in perfect condition. After repotting it into a suitable container with a humidity tray, it looks even more stunning. I am impressed with the quality of the plant and would not hesitate to buy from this seller again. Many thanks!
Jay Meldrum (Verified Buyer) –
Despite being shipped during winter conditions, the Bonsai tree arrived well-packaged and in healthy condition. After just a week, it is already growing well and took wiring and styling with ease. The only issue was that the tree received was taller than expected, measuring 14 inches instead of the ordered 12 inches.
Alicia Knapp (Verified Buyer) –
The bonsai money trees that arrived at my doorstep were in perfect condition. I was impressed by the quality of the packaging and how it was wrapped for protection during transit. I thought the three trees would be the same size, but this one was a bit different than I imagined. Among the three plants, one stood out as significantly larger than the others. 2 trees on both sides was of medium size, but all three were perfect for my requirements
Timothy (Verified Buyer) –
All three of my money trees arrived in great condition and looked beautiful. I was worried about finding high-quality plants, but the packaging was excellent and kept them secure during shipping
Chantae Martinez (Verified Buyer) –
So excited to receive my three trees today! All three were the same perfect size, except for one that was slightly smaller, but not too far off from the other two. Thank you
Ron Brock (Verified Buyer) –
This suited me perfectly since I have an upcoming housewarming party
Andy Lux (Verified Buyer) –
I was so nervous when my money tree was being delivered on the hottest day of the year, but I got even more anxious when the UPS driver brought it on its side. Luckily, the tree was wrapped up really well, and it survived the trip without too much damage, just a few wilted leaves. I put it up in my skylight where it gets a cool breeze and about 8 hours of sunlight, and it seems pretty happy. A month later, it’s doing great, with lots of new leaves.
Overall, I believe that the tree is worth its price. However, it’s best to quarantine and inspect it for a few days before introducing it to a room with other plants.
kyle (Verified Buyer) –
Despite my initial skepticism due to some negative reviews, the plant arrived on time and in good condition. While there was a minor branch break, it did not detract from the overall health and beauty of the plant. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend it to others.
Ashley Thompson (Verified Buyer) –
It came in very beautiful vase
Arturo (Verified Buyer) –
Unfortunately, some leaves broke off one of the plants but new leaves are springing up now. The other two trees are in perfect condition and growing fat than I expected. They’re perfect to keep on tables inside my house
Arkansas Bob (Verified Buyer) –
