🌿 Pachira aquatica ‘Basket’ (Basket Money Tree) Care Tips

Pachira aquatica ‘Basket’, often referred to as the Basket Money Tree, features a braided trunk planted in a woven basket-style pot, creating a warm, natural, and gift-ready presentation. Like all Money Trees, it symbolizes prosperity, positive energy, and financial growth, making it popular for homes, businesses, and gifting occasions.

☀️ Light

• Best in bright, indirect light.

• Can adapt to medium indoor light, but avoid prolonged low-light settings.

• Keep out of harsh direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

💧 Watering

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

• Water thoroughly, allowing excess to drain.

• If the plant is in a basket without drainage holes, water with extra care—use less water and check moisture often.

• Do not let the soil stay soggy—root rot can occur easily.

🌱 Soil

• Use well-draining potting soil (indoor mix with added perlite or sand is ideal).

• Ensure proper drainage—if the basket doesn’t allow it, consider placing a plastic grow pot with drainage inside the basket.

💦 Humidity

• Prefers moderate humidity (40–60%).

• Misting occasionally is helpful, especially in dry indoor environments.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal temperature range: 18–26°C (65–80°F).

• Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

🍃 Fertilizer

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

• No feeding needed in fall and winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune lightly to shape and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves.

• Clean leaves regularly with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and vibrant.

🪴 Basket Care Tips

• If your plant is directly potted in the basket, line the inside with plastic to protect against moisture damage.

• Avoid overwatering to keep the basket from rotting or molding.

🎁 Styling & Symbolism

• Perfect as a housewarming or business-opening gift.

• The basket adds a natural, cozy aesthetic that suits boho, rustic, or minimalist interiors.

• Symbolizes luck, wealth, and new beginnings.

Elevate your space with the Pachira Basket—a thoughtful gift and beautiful accent that speaks of luck and natural grace.
