Why you'll love it

Several trunks plaited together as they grow, with a wide palmate canopy.

The braid is done while the trunks are young and green, then they thicken and hold it. It reads as a proper small tree rather than a houseplant, which is why it works so well in an office or a hallway.

Available in several sizes, from tabletop to floor height. Ask us what is in stock.

Common questions.

What is a braided pachira?

Several young Pachira trunks plaited together while they are still soft enough to bend, then grown on so the braid sets as the plant thickens. Above the braid the trunks open into one wide palmate canopy. It is often sold as a money tree.

Is a money tree the same as a money plant?

No, though the names get used interchangeably in India. The money tree is Pachira — a thick braided or single trunk with broad palmate leaves. The money plant is a trailing vine with marbled heart-shaped leaves. Both are given for prosperity, which is where the confusion starts.
