Plant guide
Money tree
Pachira
Light
Bright indirect light or partial shade. Direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Watering
Keep the soil moist but never leave water in the saucer: standing water rots the roots. If the soil dries out, it drops leaves.
Air
Warmth of 18–24 °C and humid air. If the air is too dry, the leaves may turn yellow.
Toxic?
Cats: Not toxic · Dogs: Not toxic — More about pets
People: The seeds may be poisonous, but indoors the plant almost never produces them.
This is normal
- A pot often holds several plants, their flexible trunks braided together.
- Indoors it rarely flowers — that's normal.
