American Plant Exchange Money Tree Easy-to-Grow Live Plant 4 inch Pot 1.5 Tall Indoor/Outdoor Air Purifier

The Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) is an evergreen tree native to the wetlands of Central and South America. They are also called the Malabar or Guiana Chestnut, French Peanut, and Saba nut. They are an easy care tropical plant that thrives indoors above 65 degrees and outdoors in zones that stay above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Although they prefer a combination of direct and indirect bright light whenever possible, they can also handle relatively long periods in low light conditions. You can keep your potted plant indoors during the winter and then move it to a sunny spot outdoors in late spring and summer. They are a fairly drought tolerant tree that should only be watered when the soil in the pot is mostly dry. However, as a tropical plant, they do like humidity. During dryer cooler temperatures they should be misted and kept over a small tray of water filled with pebbles so that their roots do not sit in the water. During the growing season feed with a little bit of weak liquid fertilizer. When potting up your Money Tree you need to use a peaty, sandy potting mix that drains well. Because this is a relatively slow growing plant, with maximum heights of 3 to 6 feet, you may only need to repot every other year. Shipping and handling can be very tough on live plants so please be sure to open and check your plant right away. Mist the foliage and check the soil for moisture. Our plant team gives each plant a drink before they are individually shipped and wrapped so they may not need to be watered right away. Overwatering is one of the most common causes of decline with indoor plants. We are unable to ship this plant to California due to restrictions by the California Department of Agriculture. Please be aware that if your pet is a plant chewer this plant can be mildly toxic. There are no other authorized sellers of American Plant Exchange plants.
