🌿 Pachira aquatica ‘5 Plants’ (Five-Stem Money Tree) Care Tips

Pachira aquatica ‘5 Plants’ refers to a single pot containing five Pachira stems, often braided together to symbolize unity, strength, and abundance. In feng shui, five is a powerful number representing the five elements: wood, water, fire, earth, and metal—making this plant an auspicious choice for homes and businesses seeking balance and prosperity.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight.

• Can adapt to medium light, but growth may slow.

• Avoid strong direct sun, which can burn the leaves.

💧 Watering

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

• Water deeply, then let excess drain completely—never let the roots sit in water.

• In cooler months, reduce watering frequency.

🌱 Soil

• Use well-draining potting soil, such as a mix of regular potting soil with perlite or coarse sand.

• Always ensure your pot has drainage holes.

💦 Humidity

• Prefers moderate humidity (40–60%).

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

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal: 18–26°C (65–80°F).

• Avoid cold drafts and keep away from temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

🍃 Fertilize

• Feed once a month in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Pause feeding in fall and winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune to shape and remove yellow or damaged leaves.

• Maintain the braided form by trimming side shoots at the base, if desired.

• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and healthy.

🪴 Repotting

• Repot every 2–3 years, or when roots become crowded.

• Choose a pot 1–2 inches wider, with drainage.

🌟 Symbolism:

The five stems represent:

• Wood – growth

• Water – flow and ease

• Fire – passion and energy

• Earth – stability

• Metal – clarity and focus

Together, they attract balanced prosperity, health, and good fortune.
