Please note, we unfortunately cannot post the 24cm and 30cm potted plants due to their size. They can be ordered for collection or local delivery in Brighton and Hove.
The 27cm pot Pachira has been reduced as it has some leaf damage.
The Pachira aquatica is also known commonly as the 'Guiana chestnut, Kapok tree, Saba nut or the Money tree'. The tree is native to the tropics and thrives when close to swamps and wetlands. The trunk of this little tree has been braided and is topped with large green ribbed leaves that are positioned in a star formation. It is rumoured that this plant brings good fortune and prosperity into your house! This tree will grow very tall if cared for correctly.
RATING- Easy
LOVES- Water- as its latin genus 'aquatica' hints at, this plant loves moisture. Water 1-2 times a week keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged and mist frequently.
HATES- Dry soil and air. Direct sunlight- keep this tree in a semi-shady to bright position.
