The money tree (Pachira aquatica) is a houseplant native to Central and South America. It's an easy-growing plant that grows quickly—up to 24 inches a year. It will eventually reach 6 to 8 feet tall in maturity. This hardy plant likes bright to medium indirect sunlight for six hours per day and should be watered when the top inch of soil dries. With proper care, this long-living plant can live for up to a decade. The tree is believed to give you good luck and fortune.
Most commonly, money trees are sold as small plants with a braided trunk made up of three, five, or seven stems. Braiding is thought to trap good fortune in its folds. The trees are braided at the nursery when they are young and will continue to grow this way as they mature.
- Where to Put it: Choose a location where it gets at least six hours of bright to medium indirect sunlight every day.
- What Type of Soil: Use well-draining potting mix high in peat moss.
- When to Water It: Water it regularly to keep it evenly moist but reduce watering in fall and winter.
- When to Fertilize It: Feed monthly during the growing season in spring and summer.

from 100 reviewsMel is an awesome plant parent. Her plants are well taken care of and healthy. She has a wide variety to choose from. I will be ordering more of my wish list plants from her in the future.

My plant arrived secured in peanuts, cling wrap at the base, a heat pack in the box also!!! It was cold here in Ohio. It is the perfect bonsai and exact one in the picture. I love it, I’m so happy.

Mel sent the most beautiful Alocasia I have ever seen! Packaged so well and very healthy! Highly recommend!

I ordered the subscription box and was able to pick which plant I wanted for the dollar value of my subscription. Mel helped me find a good plant to help with my air quality in my main living space. She was knowledgeable about the plants’ care and when it arrived the plant did NOT disappoint! It arrived just as gorgeous as it was when I picked it. She shipped it out on Monday and it arrived today, Tuesday. The shipping was crazy fast! The plants were very well packaged with fragile labels on almost every side. There was dirt kicked around in the box, but not as much as I would expect when shipping a pot full of soil. I definitely will recommend 1000 times again! Oh! Also she ships with heat packs! My new babies didn’t have to suffer the cold! ☺️
Had some typical USPS shipping issues and my peperomia arrived missing a few leaves... Mel is amazing and has kept up with me ever since to make sure it recovered! Plant arrived like it was preparing to go to war and has been thriving ever since. Will definitely be ordering again!!
I am super happy with my order and will only buy plants from The Rooted Plant Shop!! My plants are stunning!
The rooted plant shop has been more than amazing! This is my second purchase through the rooted plant shop. Couldn’t be any happier. My first purchase was a boobie cactus and my second is a Verigated Frydek. They included complimentary heat packs so the plant baby’s stayed warm! I would recommend this shop for any needs! The owner is very helpful with questions also!
