The Pachira aquatica, also known as the money tree or Water Cacao, is a beautiful and easy to care for houseplant. With its characteristic braided trunk, it is a beautiful plant that will give you years of pleasure. The Pachira aquatica is easily recognized by its shiny, five-parted leaves. In the Far East there is a fascinating myth surrounding this plant: it is believed that it attracts money. Its leaves, which with some imagination resemble green hands, would catch the money. That is why this plant is often called the money tree. Whether the myth is true or not, the Pachira aquatica will always enrich you—not only symbolically, but also literally as a beautiful addition to your interior. Its fresh green leaves and elegantly braided trunk make it a real eye-catcher in your home. Another nickname for the Pachira is water cacao. This name, like its scientific name Pachira, refers to its great need for water. The money tree is native to the swamps of eastern Brazil, Panama and Costa Rica, and can grow to a height of up to 210 cm. This makes this air-purifying houseplant an ideal choice for your interior! The Torun plant basket is a trendy plant basket. Lined with a strong inner pocket and a sturdy natural look. You can place the plant in the basket with or without a nursery pot. It is important to always place a thin layer of hydro granules on the bottom so that the plant does not stand with its feet in the water. The excess water will then be absorbed by the granules.
