Money Tree (Pachira Glabra-Pet Friendly)
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 47 reviewsThis was my first time ordering a plant online, and I would definitely do it again!
I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.
Such a healthy, robust specimen. The color is gorgeous, a peach with pink and orange hues! The owner is a delight.
My new Money Tree was delivered in perfect condition! Very grateful for all the advice. Thank you, Melanie!
This is my favorite place to shop for my plants! I absolutely love the ease of ordering and delivery.
My plants are incredibly healthy! The owner is a delightful person and goes above and beyond for their customers.
The palm is a great addition to my collection. So grateful that Melanie has pet-friendly options. I have a new and very curious kitty! Love the delivery service too!
Customer service and knowledgeability of the plants is 10/10
Very beautiful plant. This plant exceeded my expectations. It is a bit larger than I anticipated. That is a very positive thing. Came to me very well cared for. I was pleased with my purchase.
Alocasia Polly is striking and soft at the same time. I will enjoy her for years to come
I was leery of shipping this plant, however it arrived in perfect condition, travelling from Michigan to California, and was even blooming when it arrived! I am so pleased with this as it was a gift for my niece. I will happily ship a plant from The Rooted Plant Shop again!
We had a great time with friends and new friends. Laughter, coffee, and Plants, BEAUTIFUL plants 🪴 ❤️
