Pachira aquatica – Thick Trunk – Money Tree With Ceramic Pot

Pachira aquatica is a sought-after tree that adapts extremely well to being grown indoors. Under fengshui, a properly placed Pachira aquatica in the home or office will create positive energy/chi, bringing prosperity and good luck. As a result, the Money Tree is a fashionable gift for birthdays, weddings and housewarmings.

This thick-trunked Money Tree has one large stem for a striking look and even greater resilience to environmental stresses. The top of the Money Tree has the 5-lobed leaf arrangement which is considered lucky. Other names include Malabar or Guiana Chestnut, French Peanut, Saba Nut, Dollar Plant and Provision Tree.
