PACHIRA AQUATICA PLANT CARE

Pachira aquatica, commonly known as the Money Tree or Guiana Chestnut, is a tropical tree that is often grown indoors as a houseplant. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you care for your Pachira aquatica:

Sunlight

  • Indirect Light: Pachira aquatica prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much can scorch its leaves.
  • Low Light Tolerance: It can also adapt to lower light conditions, but growth may slow down.

Watering

  • Moderate Watering: Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, but make sure the soil is not constantly soggy.
  • Watering Frequency: Water your Money Tree when the soil feels dry to the touch. Adjust watering frequency based on environmental conditions and the plant's needs.

Humidity

  • Humidity: It can adapt to average indoor humidity levels but appreciates higher humidity. Mist the leaves occasionally or use a humidifier if the air is dry.

Temperature

  • Temperature: Pachira aquatica prefers temperatures between 18-24°C. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost.
