Money Tree | Pachira

Money trees make a great gift (for yourself or others!) and are an easy way to add a tropical feel to almost any room. Money tree plants often have their slender trunks braided together, and are a low maintenance option for artificially lit areas. Money tree plant care is fairly easy. 

Light: Medium to bright indirect light turning it every time you water it for even growth and leaf development. This plant will also adapt to low and fluorescent lights. 

Water: Deep but infrequent watering. Water when the top 50%-75% of the soil is dry. Water the plant until it runs from the drainage holes and discard any excess water from the saucer. To prevent root rot, make sure your plant is never standing in water. Remember to rotate it when you water!

A pebble tray or regular misting can help improve ambient humidity, which Money trees like!
