HOW TO CARE FOR
The Money Tree
Pachira aquatica
ABOUT MONEY TREE
In the practice of Feng Shui, the Money Tree is said to bring good luck and fortune. It is a great gift for a new business owner, homeowner or anyone who needs a little luck.
The tree offers shiny, hand-shaped leaves that lend it to a decidedly tropical appearance.
WATERING
When should I water my Money Tree?
Let your Money Tree dry out completely between waterings. The plant stores a lot of water in its stems and roots. To see if your plant needs water, stick your finger about an inch down into the soil. If it feels dry, water. If the soil feels moist, do not water. If you are unsure, check again in a few days.
Never mist your foliage. Misting leaves causes fungal issues and disease. The only plants that are okay to mist are ferns and carnivorous plants.
LIGHT NEEDS
The Money Tree grows best in medium indirect light.
GROWTH
It is possible for your Money Tree to grow up to 6 ft. tall over time.
SOIL NEEDS
The Money Tree thrives in a well-draining potting soil or cactus mix.
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY
The Money Tree appreciates high humidity and warm temperatures.
FERTILIZING
Fertilize your Money Tree March through October. To help it grow optimally and evenly, occasionally dust the leaves, and rotate the pot by a ¼ turn once a month.
IS MONEY TREE SAFE?
According to the ASPCA, the Money Tree is non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the leaves of your Money Tree start to burn brown, it may need more humidity. Yellow leaves are a sign of overwatering.
