Description: Native to central and South America, the Money Tree is a braided tree that can grow up to 6-8 feet indoors or be trained as a bonsai. In east Asia, the Money Tree is often used by those who practice Feng Shui to bring positive "Chi", or energy, into the room, thus being a popular housewarming gift. On top of that, it is a hardy plant that requires relatively low maintenance. It can tolerate direct sunlight, but prefers bright indirect light, lots of water, and warm temperatures.

Air Purification: Indoor plants act as natural air purifiers by absorbing pollutants and toxins, such as formaldehyde and benzene, through a process called phytoremediation. They release oxygen and improve air quality, creating a healthier living environment.
- Stress Reduction: Studies have shown that the presence of indoor plants can reduce stress and enhance overall well-being. The visual appeal of greenery and the act of caring for plants can contribute to a calming atmosphere, promoting relaxation and mental clarity.
- Humidity Regulation: Indoor plants release water vapor during a process called transpiration, which helps regulate humidity levels in enclosed spaces. This can be particularly beneficial in dry indoor environments, providing a more comfortable and balanced atmosphere for occupants.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Indoor plants add a touch of nature and aesthetic appeal to interior spaces. Whether it's a vibrant flowering plant, a cascading vine, or a lush foliage plant, they contribute to the overall decor, making rooms more visually appealing and inviting.
The Money Tree, also known as the Guiana Chestnut, is a Pachira aquatica live plant that adds natural beauty to any indoor or outdoor space. Its braided trunk adds visual interest and its durable nature makes it easy to care for. Perfect for house plant décor with its unique and stunning appearance.
