The Pachira Money Tree, also known by its botanical name Pachira aquatica, is more than just an attractive indoor plant, it is a powerful symbol of good fortune, prosperity, and harmony. With its braided trunk and rich, palmate green leaves, the Money Tree has become a popular houseplant for both its beauty and its association with wealth and positive energy in feng shui traditions.
Native to Central and South America, the Pachira is traditionally associated with good luck and financial success. Its braided trunk, often created by intertwining young saplings, is said to "trap fortune within," while the five-lobed leaves represent the five elements: earth, water, fire, wood, and metal.
Your Pachira Money Tree comes in a 12cm pot and stands approximately 40–45cm tall, including the container. Its braided trunk adds height and structure, while the crown of lush, palmate leaves gives it a full and balanced appearance. Its compact footprint makes it ideal for tabletops, desks, and windowsills—perfect for both homes and office environments.
The braided trunk is sturdy yet flexible, offering a sculptural element that brings vertical interest to any interior. As it grows, the plant will maintain its upward shape with occasional pruning and turning to encourage even light exposure.
