The Pachira Braid Money Tree is a popular indoor plant featuring several trunks intricately braided together and large compound, hand-shaped leaves. This tropical houseplant is believed to bring good luck and fortune, making it especially popular during Chinese New Year celebrations. The plant comes in a 10-inch pot with a 7.09 liter (240 oz, approximately 1.87 gallon) capacity.

This indoor plant thrives in bright indirect sunlight and prefers to stay consistently moist, making it a good choice for those who tend to overwater. The Pachira aquatica is native to swampy areas of Central and South America and is related to hibiscus and cocoa. While it can grow over 50 feet tall in its natural habitat, it stays much more manageable indoors, typically reaching over 10 feet tall over time. The plant adapts well to average household conditions and can be a good alternative for plants that need more light or are more sensitive to watering issues.

You can pinch off the tips of each stem as your money tree grows to keep it full and control its height. Note that this plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested.
