6" Money Tree - Braid

Pachira
 
Money Tree is a fast grower that, in some cultures, is thought to bring good fortune and create positive energy. The braiding of its trunk is thought to trap this good fortune and positive energy in its folds. Money Trees grow best in consistently warm temperatures with no drafts and higher humidity levels. To increase the humidity around your plant, consider using a humidifier in the room, or lightly mist the leaves once a week with water. Avoid placing your Money Tree near any drafts, warm or cold; changes in the temperature around your plant may cause it to start dropping its leaves.
 




Money Trees grow best in bright to moderate indirect sunlight, ideally by a window, for at least 6 hours a day. This plant will also do well under a growing light.


  
Money Trees like to be water regularly, once the top inch of soil is dry. To check, stick your finger into the soil to your knuckle. Water more frequently during the growing season, reducing the amount and frequency during the Fall and Winter months. To avoid overwatering, discard any excess water that has drained out the bottom of the pot.


 
Fertilize your plant monthly during the Spring and Summer with a 50/50 solution of liquid fertilizer and water. Fertilize with the same solution every 2 months during the Fall and Winter.


  
Regularly prune off the lower leaves of your plant to help encourage new growth at the top of your plant. Remove any wilting or browning leaves.
