'Money Tree' - Pachira aquatica

Light - Money trees like bright,indirect light which means you'll need a sunny east, west, or south-facing window. Direct sunlight can scorch their leaves, especially during the hottest months of the year. That's because the small money trees we grow indoors are juvenile plants, which would be shaded by taller trees in the forest. Turn the plant periodically to make sure it grows evenly. If you don't have sufficient light,  grow light is a great alternative.

Water - Even though money trees grow in wetlands, they don't like to remain soaking wet. Water until it runs out of the bottom of the pot every one to two weeks, allowing the soil to mostly dry out between waterings. You may find you'll need to water more or less often, depending on the conditions inside your home. Poke your finger into the soil, and if it still feels wet, wait a few more days and check again before you give it a drink. Also, dump the saucer underneath your plant when it's finished draining out after you water it.
