Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) or Guiana Chestnut

The Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) or Guiana Chestnut is an elegant and durable evergreen tree for indoor or outdoor beautification, either planted in pots or in garden soil in areas with mild winters. It has a spherical canopy shape and large, palmately compound leaves with a bright green color. It is offered with 3 to 5 trunks intertwined between them, like a braid, which contribute an additional decorative element. The Guiana Chestnut is an easy-to-grow plant that has no problems with pests or diseases, and when placed at home, in the office, or generaly indoors, it needs bright sites but not direct sunlight on its leaves, as it can cause burns. In English, the common name Money Tree is not because the plant itself "generates" money, but according to the Feng Shui view, it is believed that the leaves bring money home and the tangled trunks keep them as savings.

► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large shrubs are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
