Plant Bio
Though native to Mexico and South America, Money Tree rose to fame in East Asia, where it is cultivated as one of the luckiest ornaments, symbolizing prosperity. Its trunk is believed to hold within its folds good fortune, and its palmate leaves resemble open hands offering great abundance. Despite its outstanding appearance and symbolic meaning, this evergreen is very easy to care for, and makes for a great indoor plant.

Frequently asked questions
What are other common names for Money Trees?

The money tree received its name when a poor man prayed for prosperity and encountered the money tree instead. While he didn’t stumble upon a pot of gold, he did find a fortune selling the tree’s seeds. Among the other common money tree names:

  1. Pachira aquatica
  2. Malabar chestnut
  3. Guiana chestnut
  4. Provision tree

While the money tree might sometimes be referred to as a money plant, it should not be confused with its sibling plants, the crassula ovata and the pilea peperomioides (commonly known as the Chinese money plant).

Where should I place a money tree in my house?

For ideal light, seek spaces with bright, indirect sunlight where it can soak up the sun for at least six hours. For the best feng shui, place your money tree in the southeast corner of the home and avoid placing it in a bathroom. Otherwise, consider putting it in your “wealth corner,” which is considered the far-left corner from the entrance of a room. More broadly, these are popular plants in a workspace as a constant reminder of — you guessed it — money.

Is a money tree easy to take care of?
How do I care for a money tree? Fortunately, with a few exceptions, these are fairly easy plants to care for. A balance of light and water will keep them a manageable six-to-eight feet in height. Money trees are also difficult to overwater and take a standard quick-draining soil mixture and fertilizer. Just make sure the pot has drainage.  For those who want to manage the size of the plant to be a bonsai, make sure to prune the lower leaves regularly. This has the added benefit of promoting new and healthy growth.
