Money Tree 'Guiana Chestnut' Pachira Braid

The Money Tree, or Guiana Chestnut (Pachira aquatica), is a fantastic addition to your home if you want to invite a little good fortune and vibrant, tropical energy into your living space. With its beautifully woven trunk and lush, umbrella-like canopy of rich green leaves, this plant acts as a living sculpture that breathes instant life into a room. Indoors, a braided Money Tree typically reaches a manageable yet striking size of three to six feet tall, making it the perfect floor plant for an empty corner or a standout focal point in a bright office. You will love how this resilient houseplant brings a calming, grounded presence indoors while serving as a daily reminder of growth, prosperity, and natural beauty.

Caring for your Guiana Chestnut is wonderfully simple, making it a highly rewarding companion for any indoor gardener. To keep the foliage lush and robust, place your tree in bright, indirect sunlight, such as a few feet back from an east- or south-facing window, because harsh, direct rays will quickly scorch its leaves. When it is time to hydrate, water deeply until the moisture drains from the bottom of the pot, but always wait until the top two to three inches of soil are completely dry before watering again; this simple step prevents the roots from sitting in stagnant water, which quickly leads to root rot. You will also have total peace of mind bringing this lush beauty home, as the Money Tree is completely non-toxic and entirely safe to grow around your curious cats and dogs.
