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 delightful Money Tree has a central trunk of several stems braided together to lock in the good fortune. The top of the Money Tree has the 5-lobed leaf arrangement also considered lucky. Other names include Malabar or Guiana Chestnut, French Peanut, Saba Nut, Dollar Plant and Provision Tree.

MAGNIFICENT, I HAVE NO WORDS, I didn’t expect it to be like this at all, the plants with you always arrive clean and in excellent condition, unfortunately I have terrible experiences from other nurseries with more doors infested with parasites and shipped very badly, it is always a thrill to receive plants in perfect conditions like yours 😍💘
