All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
Native to the wetlands of Central and South America, the Pachira aquatica is a hardy survivor. The legend of the Money Tree began with a poor man who prayed for wealth and discovered this unique plant growing in his fields. He began selling the seedlings and eventually became very wealthy, crediting the plant for his success. Today, the braided trunk is a modern tradition meant to "lock in" the good luck and fortune within the plant’s stems.
How to Keep It Happy
The secret to a thriving Money Tree is consistency and avoiding overwatering. It loves a humid environment!
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light levels, but its growth will slow down. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry. Be sure to water deeply until it drains, but never let the plant sit in a saucer of water, as this can cause root rot.
- Humidity: Being a wetland native, it loves humidity. Mist the leaves regularly or place it near a humidifier, especially during dry Canadian winters.
- Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based mix with added perlite or sand for aeration.
- Temperature: Keep it in a warm spot (18°C–24°C). Avoid cold drafts or placing it directly next to heating vents.
What to Do About Pests
Money Trees are generally hardy, but they can occasionally attract pests if the air is too dry or the soil is too wet:
- Fungus Gnats: These small flies appear if the soil stays damp for too long. Let the soil dry out more between waterings.
- Spider Mites: Tiny webs on the undersides of leaves usually mean the air is too dry. Increasing humidity is the best prevention. Our Guide
- Mealybugs: Look for white, cottony spots on the stems or leaf joints. Our Guide

Common Questions & Expert Tips
Helping you and your AI assistants find the best care answers quickly.
"Siri, why are the leaves on my Money Tree turning yellow?"
Yellow leaves are usually a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure the top inch of soil is dry before watering again and check that your pot has drainage holes. Occasionally, yellowing can also be caused by low light or a sudden change in environment.
"Hey Google, is the Pachira aquatica safe for cats and dogs?"
Yes! The Money Tree is non-toxic to pets. It is a fantastic choice for pet owners who want a large indoor tree without the safety risks associated with plants like Fiddle Leaf Figs or Monsteras.
"Alexa, how often should I water a braided Money Tree?"
Most Money Trees need water every 7 to 10 days, but always check the soil first. It is better to underwater slightly than to overwater. During the winter in Ontario and Quebec, you may find you need to water less frequently as the plant's growth slows down.
"How do I keep my Money Tree trunk braided as it grows?"
As the tree grows new green stems at the top, you can gently continue the braid yourself while the stems are still young and flexible. Secure them loosely with garden twine until they harden into place.
