- Brings Good Luck
- Low Maintenance
- Requires Bright Indirect Sunlight
The Money Tree is said in Feng Shui teachings to bring good luck to those who place one in their home or office. A story about such good fortune led to the common name for Pachira aquatica, a native tree in swampy areas and tropical rainforests around the world. Even if adding a Money Tree to your home or office fails to bring you monetary reward, you will enjoy growing the houseplant and amaze friends or co-workers with its large evergreen leaves.
In the wild, the trees have single trunks and grow as tall as 60 feet. You can control the growth of a Money Tree; some enthusiasts grow these into bonsai plants. The long blade-like leaves appear in a rounded form above a tall trunk. Money Trees add just the right amount of height against a wall and a tropical feel to any plant arrangement.
Money Tree Care
Normal indoor temperatures are perfect for Money Tree care, but they like humidity. Add a pebble tray beneath the container and mist the leaves regularly, or choose a humid location of your home to feature your Money Tree. Give the plant sandy or peat-based soil in a well-draining container. It will stay healthier with by repotting with clean peat moss every couple of years. Other than that, just remove damaged leaves and try not to move your Money Tree plant once it finds a good spot in your home with bright, indirect light.
Money Tree Location
You can grow Money Tree outdoors in zones 10 through 12; place one in a rain garden for show and expect it to grow to at least 20 feet high and wide. Money Tree goes by lots of common names and has no serious disease or insect problems.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
