💰 Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) – Braided Trunk, Good Fortune & Easy Care
Description
The Money Tree (Pachira aquatica), also known as the Guiana Chestnut, is a tropical beauty native to Central and South America. Loved for its distinctive braided trunk and lush, palmate leaves, this plant has become a global favorite for both style and symbolism.
In Feng Shui tradition, the Money Tree is believed to attract prosperity, positive energy, and good fortune, making it a thoughtful gift for housewarmings, business openings, or milestones. Indoors, it can grow up to 6–8 feet tall, but it also adapts beautifully to bonsai-style shaping for smaller spaces.
Tough, adaptable, and beginner-friendly, the Money Tree thrives in bright, indirect light, tolerates some direct sun, and brings a fresh burst of greenery to any room.
