Money Tree: How to Grow, Trunk Thickening Techniques, & Braiding Tips (Pachira aquatica, P. glabra)

Dec 27, 2025
The Money Tree, or Pachira aquatica, is one of the all around very best houseplants that everyone can have success growing. These lovely indoor trees can live for decades, over time often creating bulbous unique trunks. They often come with pre-braided trunks that look amazing over time. In this video I give a brief background on the plants, talk about their general care, give tips for keeping their braids in tact, and finish up with techniques for generating thick trunks, including root pruning. #moneytree #houseplants #plants Plant Vibes Membership Info: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu0S93Qo1wqIYzbYuI_DrSg/join 0:21 Background & Context 1:48 General Care (Light, Water, Fertilizer, Soil, Pots, Yellow Leaves) 6:20 Braids 7:44 Repotting 9:45 Trunk Thickening Tips 11:53 Root Pruning Find some of my favorite plant tools & accessories here: https://amzn.to/3smII7l Bounty Fertilizer: https://plant-vibrations.com/products/robertas-bounty-all-purpose-plant-fertilizer-with-essential-micronutrients?_pos=1&_sid=3e0604844&_ss=r ******************************* My favorite plants products: Best Deluxe Growlight: https://amzn.to/3Tz3Vm1 Best Inexpensive Growlight: https://amzn.to/3hz2gzV Growlight Bulbs: https://amzn.to/3G3bZIS Clamp On Growlights: https://amzn.to/3TCgqxy Rooting Hormone: https://amzn.to/3Uujxsx Best Fertilizer for Foliage Growth: https://amzn.to/3fUACgi
