Pachira aquatica, the Money Tree, is a tropical tree typically sold with several stems plaited together into a decorative braided trunk. The foliage is made up of large, palmate leaves with five to seven glossy, lance-shaped leaflets that fan out like an open hand. It is an upright, structural plant that adds a clean, tree-like presence to a room.

Origins
Native to Central and South America, Pachira aquatica grows in tropical wetlands and along riverbanks, where it can reach considerable size. Indoors it stays compact and manageable.
