After some water a beautiful plant.
When my daughter opened her gifted money tree plant, the plant leaves appeared weeping as if it needed water. Some leaves had fallen off, looked sad, but after some water and the following morning it perked back up.

Featured Questions
Can Braided Money Trees be grown outdoors?
Braided Money Trees (Pachira aquatica) are tropical plants typically grown as houseplants. They prefer warm temperatures, high humidity, and indirect sunlight, which are challenging to replicate outdoors in many regions.
However, in regions with a warm and humid climate, the Braided Money Tree can be grown outdoors in a protected area, such as a covered patio, where it can be protected from frost and strong winds. It can also be grown in a greenhouse where the temperature and humidity can be controlled to suit the plant's needs. If you plan to grow your Braided Money Tree outdoors, it is important to keep in mind that the plant may require more frequent watering and protection from the elements.
It is important to note that it may not survive cold temperatures when grown outdoors.
Are Money Trees pet-friendly?
Yes, Money Trees are non-toxic and safe for pets.
How do I prune my Money Tree?
Prune your Money Tree by cutting off any dead or yellowing leaves and trimming branches to maintain its desired shape.
What is the ideal temperature for a Money Tree?
Money Trees prefer temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) and should be kept away from drafts and extreme temperature changes.
What kind of light does a Money Tree need?
Money Trees thrive in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Is the braiding of the money tree natural?
No, the braiding of the money tree is not natural. The stems of the money tree (Pachira aquatica) are manually braided while they are young and pliable. This creates the decorative braided appearance that many people find appealing.
How can I continue to braid my money tree?
To continue braiding your money tree, follow these steps:
- Select the Stems: Choose young, flexible stems for braiding. It is best to start with at least three stems.
- Prepare the Plant: Ensure the plant is well-watered. This makes the stems more pliable and less likely to break.
- Start the Braid: Begin braiding the stems as you would braid hair. Cross one stem over the other in a consistent pattern.
- Secure the Braid: Use plant ties or soft twine to secure the braid at the top. Be gentle to avoid damaging the stems.
- Continue Braiding as the Plant Grows: As the plant grows, continue to braid new growth in the same pattern. You may need to adjust the ties as the plant expands.
- Regular Maintenance: Keep the plant healthy by providing adequate water, light, and occasional fertilization. This ensures the stems remain strong and flexible for continued braiding.
- Monitor for Damage: Check regularly for any signs of stress or damage to the braided stems and adjust care as needed.
