🌿 Pachira aquatica ‘5 Plaits’ (Five-Braid Money Tree) Care Tips

Pachira aquatica ‘5 Plaits’ is a decorative version of the classic Money Tree, featuring five braided trunks for enhanced symmetry, structure, and symbolic meaning. It’s often associated with good fortune, balance, and prosperity, especially in feng shui traditions. The glossy green leaves, elegant vertical form, and easy-care nature make it perfect for modern homes, offices, or gifting.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light.

• Tolerates medium light, but best foliage comes with good lighting.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn leaves—especially through glass.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 3–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil is dry.

• Water deeply until it drains, then empty saucer.

• Reduce watering in cooler months.

• Do not overwater—this is the top cause of leaf yellowing and root rot.

🌱 Soil

• Use well-draining potting mix (general indoor plant soil with added perlite or coarse sand works well).

• Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

💦 Humidity

• Enjoys moderate humidity (40–60%).

• Mist occasionally or place near a humidity tray if air is dry.

• Avoid placing near heaters or air conditioners.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–26°C (65–80°F).

• Sensitive to cold—avoid temps below 10°C (50°F).

• Protect from sudden temperature changes and drafts.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength.

• No fertilizer needed in winter dormancy.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune to maintain shape and remove leggy or yellowing leaves.

• Trim leaf tips if browning appears from dry air or fluoride in water.

• Wipe leaves regularly to remove dust and encourage healthy growth.

🪴 Repotting

• Repot every 2–3 years, or when rootbound.

• Use a slightly larger pot with good drainage.

🧧 Symbolism Tip:

Each braided stem symbolizes strength and unity, while the five sections represent the five elements in feng shui—wood, water, fire, metal, and earth—making this version especially lucky and meaningful.

Elevate your space with the Pachira 5 Plaits—a living symbol of growth, harmony, and good fortune.
