Description

Pachira Trunk

The Pachira, commonly known as the Money Tree, is a popular indoor plant, celebrated for its distinctive trunk and lush, glossy leaves. The trunk, sometimes formed by weaving together multiple young stems, gives the plant a unique and decorative appearance, making it a favourite in homes and offices alike.

The Pachira’s leaves are palmate, typically comprising five leaflets that fan out from a central point, resembling an open hand. This symbolism, along with the plant’s reputation for bringing good luck and prosperity, has made it a cherished addition to many spaces. Thriving in bright, indirect light, the Pachira prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering, making it relatively easy to care for.

With the potential to grow up to 1.5 to 2 metres indoors, the Pachira adds a touch of greenery and elegance to any room. Its striking trunk and attractive foliage make it an ideal plant for those seeking a stylish and meaningful addition to their interior décor.
