🌱 Meet the Plant! Pachira aquatica / Money Tree / Care + Propagation
The Money tree is a gorgeous large tropical plant or as I like to call my big plants :: living furniture!
☝🏽 But first, let’s clear up what it is & what it isn’t! Watch as I show you a number of the plants ALSO commonly called ‘Money’ & emphasize (again) why we should use botanical names whenever possible!
I show how to care for this low maintenance beauty AND then I propagate it with you!

I currently have two sets myself. The older had one tree die so I unbraided them and let them grow as they wish. The other is still braided but took the band off so they can stretch and thicken without many problems. Both pots are so bushy, I love'em. Just recently started a couple from seeds so they can grow naturally without the cut offs. There's another grower on youtube, she got one from her neighbor that had been growing it for ten years and it is fricken huge

I have three humongous money trees. I pruned them two weeks ago. They already have little roots. I took the leaves and put them in water also and they have little nubs coming in. Amazing. I guess they are different. Don’t have to wait months for roots. I have about 10 new plants coming. So happy. I know some of my friends will be happy if they all grow roots.

I am growing aquatica with thick trunks, new greenery and lack of braid. I am a new grower. I also have a pothos in soil and water. In-water WAS thriving; now barely hanging on yet with new rootage. In-soil still is. I lowered it's water level and given ALL the "$trees" an aloe rub down.

Was watching this to find out exactly how to prune the money tree, but then you showed us before and after but left out the part where you actually trim it = the most important part! (I’m referring to 6:50 ) So I still have no idea how to trim it properly. Do you have any other video showing how/where to prune it?

It could be underwatering, it could be dry soil. Money trees like the soil moist, so spray it regularly. It could also be lack of nutrients, particularly calcium or magnesium. For calcium, add cruched egg shells. For magnesium, add some Epson salt into the water.

Hi my dear, Thank you for making the video❤. I have many new grows just grew out of the trunk, how do I propagate them, where should I cut? And when I cut them out, should I put them in water and wait for the roots to come out first, before I plant them in soil? Is it because of the new grows are taking too much nutrients from the trunk, causing some new leaves on the top of the tree curled and dried out from the tips? Would really appreciate your insights.🙏

Perhaps it needs more humidity? That is often a cause of dry tips. Winter can be tough on plants b/c of the dry indoor air. I would try adding a humidifier nearby .. or just waiting it out until it gets a little more humid naturally.

Alot of these are sold in nurseries or stores that have a rubberband on the bottom of the root stem hidden underneath the dirt. This chokes the plant and eventually just kills the plant slowly leaving us all wondering wth we did wrong when it kept dying. Speaking from first hand experience. Not many people will check the roots but if you remove the dirt, you may find a rubber band wrapped around the bottom of the plant. I saved my poor plant from dying when I finally uncovered the root cause of why my money tree wasnt doing well. Hope this helps.

Thank you for kind words! You can take cuttings & propagate them in water. When they have sufficient roots you can transfer them to the base of the plant & that will fill in the bottom o the pot. Also, be sure that the plant is getting enough light.

Merhaba, pachira bitkisini görüntüsünü beğendiğimden aldım fakat aldıktan sonra türünü ve adını öğrendim. Bitkilerden hiç anlamadığım için yanlış bakım sonucu bitkinin gövdesinin, aldığım günden farklı olduğunu fark ederek bir terslik olduğunu düşündüm. Toprak çok fazla ıslak, drenaj yok, su içinde günlerce durmuş, yapraklar her şey sağlam ama kökleri sapsarı! Toprağa gömülü gövde tamamen sararmıştı bende sarı kısmı yani ıslak ve nemli olan kısmı kestim ama şimdi ne yapmam gerektiğini bilmiyorum hatta keserek doğru mu yaptım onu da bilmiyorum yardımcı olur musunuz ne yapmalıyım? nasıl köklendireceğim? hemen yeni toprağa mı dikmeliyim? eski toprağını kurutup kullanmalı mıyım? köklenmesi için suya mı koymalıyım? ölmesini istemiyorum :(
