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.

Sturdy, supportive, wish they were a bit more breathable
Bought these for my seven year old after he tore through a cheaper pair of tennis shoes in a month. These have held up very well, still looking decent after several months of heavy use, just a few minor scuffs. The fit is great and they are very comfortable for him. My only complaint is that they are not as breathable as I would expect and my son’s feet get hot and sweaty very easily inside. Overall, they’ve been very durable and I would buy again.

Favorite shoe for my picky kid
Size: 3.5 Big Kid, Color: Navy/Red
My picky child loved these. Worn a hole in them because he lived in them even when his feet grew and didn’t want to give them up. Finally convinced him to give them up. Now looking for his next favorite shoe. These were not Merrill brand like the name states. These were Saucony Kinvara.

HOLES IN 6 MONTHS. Huge disappointment, what happened to Saucony??
Size: 2.5 Big Kid, Color: Pink/Navy, Size: 2.5 Big Kid, Color: Pink/Navy
What has happened to Saucony kids shoes?? I've been purchasing this brand for all my kids' shoes since they were toddlers, my oldest is now 10.5 and she's had this pair for six months and they have huge holes in both the uppers. My kid hasn't even fully grown INTO this size, forget about growing out! I really expect more from this brand, I thought it was worth the extra cost you pay versus no name brands on Amazon. What a disappointment.

Cute and practical
Got these for my 8 year old for the school year. They fit as expected with good traction on the bottom. She's had them about a month and they are still holding up well. She loves them because they look cute and I love them because they keep her supported all day long!
