How to Care for a Pachira Aquatica (Money Tree)

Watering for Pachira Aquatica (Money Tree)

The Pachira Aquatica (Money Tree) prefers an even moisture balance in its potting soil. Water it about once a week, but always check the top layer of soil: if it's dry, add some more water. Ensure excess water can drain properly through the drainage holes; this prevents root rot. For additional watering tips for houseplants, you can also consult our blog post: What to do about root rot in your houseplants?

Light requirements of Pachira Aquatica (Money Tree)

The Pachira Aquatica (Money Tree) prefers a spot with plenty of indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light stunts growth. A bright living room or a partially shaded area offers the perfect balance. Those who prefer plants with slightly lower light requirements might consider our Aglaonema Silver Bay or the charming Sansevieria Zeylanica .

Frequently occurring problems

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves often indicate overwatering or insufficient light for your Money Tree. First, check the moisture balance in the potting soil: adjust your watering routine if the soil remains consistently moist. If necessary, move the plant closer to a window, but avoid direct sunlight.

Plant is dripping

A dripping Pachira Aquatica means there's too much water in the pot. Always let the drained water drain away and water less in the future. Consider investing in a pot with better drainage from our collection of pots for houseplants .

Plagues

Spider mites, aphids, or scale insects can sometimes bother the Money Tree. Rinse the leaves with a gentle spray and treat with an ecological pesticide. Repeat the treatment weekly until the pests are gone. For quick action, you can use our Sticky Traps against fungus gnats for a cleaner pot.

Carrots emerge from the bottom of the pot

When the roots emerge from the drainage holes, it's time to repot. Choose a pot one size larger and use airy potting soil, preferably Potting Soil for Aroids 5L . Repotting is best done in spring so your Money Tree can recover quickly.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown leaf edges are caused by air that is too dry or insufficient water. Maintain humidity by spraying or placing a humidifier nearby. Water regularly but moderately to keep the soil slightly moist.
