Here’s a guide to caring for a Pachira aquatica with a thick trunk, also known as a Money Tree:

Pachira aquatica - Thick Trunk

 

Light

  • Pachira aquatica thrives in bright, indirect light.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
  • They tolerate some shade, but growth may be slower.

Water

  • Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry.
  • Allow excess water to drain completely.
  • Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.

Temperature

  • Average room temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) are ideal.
  • Avoid placing the plant near drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Humidity

  • Pachira aquatica prefers moderate to high humidity.
  • Mist the leaves regularly, especially in dry environments.
  • Use a pebble tray filled with water to increase humidity around the plant.

Soil

  • Use a well-draining potting mix.
  • A mix designed for cacti or succulents is also suitable.

Fertilizer

  • Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Do not fertilize during the fall and winter months.

Repotting

  • Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound.
  • Use a pot slightly larger than the current one.

Pruning

  • Prune to control size and shape.
  • Trim any leggy growth or unwanted branches.

Pests

  • Watch for pests such as spider mites, aphids, and scale insects.
  • Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.

Additional Tips

  • Rotate the plant regularly to ensure even growth.
  • Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust.
  • Be patient, as it may take time for your Pachira to acclimate to its new environment.

Troubleshooting

  • Yellowing leaves: Could indicate overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency.
  • Brown leaf tips: Often caused by dry air or inconsistent watering.
  • Leaf drop: May result from stress due to temperature changes, drafts, or low light.

With proper care, your Pachira aquatica with a thick trunk will thrive and bring you joy for years to come.
