Money Tree Braid - Live Plant in an 10 Inch Growers Pot - Pachira Aquatica - Low Maintenance Pet Friendly Indoor Houseplant

Pachira aquatica, better known as the money tree plant, has a reputation for being one of the easiest trees to grow indoors. Money trees are a tropical tree commonly used to add some green in homes as well as offices, lobbies, restaurants, and other public spaces. A money tree is a low-maintenance, pet-friendly plant with hand-shaped leaves. It grows large, green pods containing edible chestnut-like seeds and is native to Central and South America. Money trees prefer bright, indirect light and moderate-to-high humidity. Direct sunlight can lead to leaf-scorching, but the plants can do relatively well in low light. Exposure to too many drafts, though, may cause leaf loss. Heater vents and hot, dry air also need to be avoided. Money trees can survive outdoors in USDA zones 10 through 12, but otherwise need to be houseplants. Money trees are a favorite houseplant in feng shui, thought to bring good financial fortune when placed in the southeast section of your home—the area associated with money. In feng shui, it’s bad luck to place a money tree in your bathroom, as its positive energy may be drained away. From shiny, hand-shaped leaves to pretty braided trunks, the money tree is a can’t-miss indoor plant. It delivers lush good looks in any setting.
