Pachira aquatica — Money tree
The Pachira aquatica, also called money tree or Guyana chestnut, is an elegant tropical plant, famous for its braided trunk and lush foliage. A symbol of prosperity and harmony, it brings a zen and balanced touch to any interior.
Adapted to city life, it thrives in bright spaces without direct sun — perfect for a living room, office, or entryway. A strong, gentle, and soothing plant presence, ideal for creating a natural and harmonious atmosphere.
Exposure & location
The Pachira aquatica likes soft, filtered light, without direct exposure to sunlight. It enjoys ambient warmth and adapts perfectly to our modern interiors.
- Exposure: indirect light or bright partial shade.
- Location: bright room, office or quiet living room.
- Ideal temperature: between 18 and 26 °C.
- Outdoor: possible in summer, in the shade and sheltered from the wind.
Verdeia tip: regularly turn the plant so it maintains balanced growth.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the surface of the soil dry between waterings.
- Drainage: essential: avoid any stagnant water in the planter cover.
- Misting: light and regular to maintain good humidity.
- Care: wipe the leaves with a soft cloth to maintain their shine.
In winter, space out watering: excess water is riskier than a slight forgetfulness.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
The Pachira aquatica is an architectural plant that draws the eye with its elegant shape and palmate foliage. It fits equally well in contemporary decor as in a more bohemian or zen atmosphere.
- To pair with: Zamioculcas, Monstera, or Ficus lyrata for a harmonious tropical ensemble.
- Ideal planter cover: large matte ceramic planter cover or natural woven basket.
- Atmosphere: relaxation corner, bright living room, or calming office.
In feng shui, it symbolizes luck and prosperity — a positive energy to cultivate at home.
Verdeia tips
- Water sparingly: its fleshy roots store water.
- Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.
- Repot every 2 to 3 years in a light and well-draining mix.
An easy and majestic lucky tree, perfect for bringing calm and balance to an urban interior.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
