Caring For The Pachira Five Braid
Here are the key points for planting and caring for a Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) in English:
Planting a Money Tree
Potting Soil: Use well-draining, peat-based soil mixed with perlite or sand to prevent waterlogging.
Pot Selection: Choose a pot with drainage holes to avoid root rot.
Planting Depth: Place the tree at the same depth as its original container, ensuring the trunk base is slightly above the soil.
Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light (e.g., near a window with filtered sunlight). Avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
Care & Maintenance
Watering:
Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry.
Reduce watering in winter to prevent overwatering.
Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity (mist leaves occasionally or use a humidifier).
Temperature: Keep between 65°F–80°F (18°C–27°C). Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Fertilizing:
Feed monthly in spring/summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10).
Stop fertilizing in fall/winter.
Pruning: Trim yellow or dead leaves and shape the tree in spring to encourage bushier growth.
Pests & Problems:
Watch for spider mites, mealybugs, or scale (treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil).
Yellow leaves → Overwatering or poor drainage.
Brown tips → Low humidity or underwatering.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years in spring if roots outgrow the pot.
Symbolic Tips
Braided trunks are believed to "lock in" wealth (gently twist stems when young).
Place in the "wealth corner" (southeast) of a room for Feng Shui benefits.
By following these steps, your Money Tree should grow healthy and lush, symbolizing prosperity!
