Instructions d'entretien

The Money Tree thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers warm, humid conditions. It should be watered regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. It does well in moderate temperatures and high humidity, making it an excellent choice for indoor environments.

Sol

Pachira aquatica prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and standard potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom.

Engrais

Feed the Money Tree with a balanced liquid fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Rempotage

Repot the Money Tree every two to three years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.

Propagation

Propagate Pachira aquatica through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least two leaf nodes, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a moist, well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.

Taille

Prune the Money Tree to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.

Toxicité

Pachira aquatica is generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.

Supplémentaire

The Money Tree is often associated with good luck and prosperity, making it a popular gift plant. It is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.
