More information
With its beautiful large leaves and finely woven stems, the Pachira is a beautiful and special plant. It grows a relatively thin and pliable stem, which can be braided. In East Asia, the Pachira is seen as an element that brings prosperity and happiness to the home according to the teachings of Feng Shui. The 5 leaves on each branch symbolize the 5 basic elements of Feng Shui: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Furthermore, the Pachira is a plant with many nicknames. It's most common name is the 'Money Tree'. The plant gets this name from the fact that in the Far East it is believed that the leaves could catch money. This makes this plant an ideal gift for a birthday, housewarming or wedding. The Pachira is a true tropical plant. It is native to the swamps of eastern Brazil, Panama and Costa Rica. Here the plant can grow up to 20 meters high.
Care
The Pachira is ideal for people who sometimes forget their plants, because it does not make many demands. And the braided stem makes the Pachira look very special! The Pachira likes a bright spot, and not too close to the window. It stores water in its trunk, so the soil must be dry before it is watered again. In winter the plant likes to be watered, this prevents leaf loss and stimulates the production of new leaves. Old leaves can be cut out quietly. In summer, the plant will need watering about 2 times a week.
Size
The plants have a height of 60-70cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 17cm.
