If you’re looking for good luck—and a large houseplant—then look no further. Mr. Money Tree’s beautifully braided, swirling trunk traps good fortune. Not just good luck, but also a good income. Its leaves grow in groups of six, possibly representing six figures. Plus, the whole thing just looks striking.

Money Tree benefits

Some say a Money Tree can even promote healthier sleep, reduce stress, and decrease conflict in the home. We can’t confirm the science behind those beliefs, but research does suggest that the Money Tree is an effective air purifier.

Place this adorable plant beside your bed at night, and take a deep breath. You just might sleep better and feel at ease, and you’ll definitely be breathing in cleaner air!

The Money tree looks cool

Scientifically known as the Pachira Aquatica, the Money Tree is a wetland plant native to Central and South America. Each “Money tree” is actually made up of multiple Pachira Aquaticas, gently hand woven together as they grow to maturity. Thanks to the Money Tree’s umbrella-like foliage, the plant’s swirling trunks look like they’re dancing in the rain, adding whimsy and romance to your indoor garden.

The Money Tree is pet-friendly and non-toxic

Money Trees are non-toxic to cats and dogs. We can’t stop your pet from nibbling on your precious Money Tree, but it won’t end in their demise. (We’ll send all the good vibes to your devoured Money Tree, though).

Lighting

Money Trees love low-light spots, even really low light, and they’ll bring you joyful thoughts even from a shady corner—or in bright indirect light. Money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy plants, which is almost the same thing?

Watering

Most houseplants can’t tolerate much trial and error when it comes to watering. But the Money tree is flexible! Money trees kinda like damp soil (they’re native to swampland after all), so overenthusiastic watering generally won’t kill them.

Money tree benefits

What is a Money tree good for?

The Money tree looks awesome, purifies the air, brightens your home, and—maybe—brings good fortune. That’s a legend, but nobody said legends can’t be based on truth! You should probably test it out, to be on the safe side.

Does the Money tree clean the air or give oxygen?

The Money tree cleans carbon dioxide from the air and replaces it with nice fresh oxygen for us to breathe. It also sucks up chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene, plus other synthetic chemicals from cleaning products, leaving the air cleaner.

Are Money trees easy to keep alive?

Money trees are very low maintenance. They’re not too fussy about their watering schedules or their lighting. However, everyone has something, and Money trees do prefer a narrow range of temperatures (65-75). They also want some humidity. But that’s all.

Money tree care

How often should I water my Money tree?

Water your Money tree every week or two—more often during the spring and summer, and less often in the fall and winter. The Money tree tolerates overwatering better than underwatering, but make sure you’re using well-draining soil.

How do I keep my Money tree happy?

It’s pretty easy to keep a Money tree happy! Water every week or two. Put it anywhere indoors except in direct sun. And sing it a lullaby every night at bedtime. Even easy-care plants don’t mind a little pampering.

Where should a Money tree be placed in the house?

Most importantly, place the Money tree wherever it can get the right lighting—anywhere from bright indirect light to truly low light. But traditionally, for the best luck, the Money Tree is placed in the southeast section of your home.

Do I need to fertilize my Money tree?

Fertilize your Money tree once a month during spring and summer, when it’s really growing. You can use a general-purpose fertilizer—it’s not a picky eater—but dilute it to half-strength and make sure the soil is wet before applying.

What temperature do Money trees like?

The Money tree is a bit fussy, liking a narrow range of indoor temperatures: 65 to 75 degrees. So keep your home at moderate temps year-round. (Finally, you can tell your spouse or Dad to turn up the heat.)

Can Money trees grow without sunlight?

Money trees can live happily in a dark room with little natural light. So if you have a room with teeny tiny windows, or your neighbor’s way-too-close apartment blocks the sun always, it’s ok—Mr. Money tree will be fine.

Should I spray water on my Money tree?

The Money tree does enjoy humidity, and its leaves will get crinkly in low humidity. However, there’s some debate over whether misting helps or not. To be on the safe side, if you live in low humidity, get a humidifier.

Money tree factoids

Why does the Money tree have 6 leaves?

Some say the six leaves symbolize six figures—in other words, the luck from the Money tree might lead to your next promotion. (It’s us, we’re the ones who say that.) No promises, but work really hard just in case.

What is the superstition about Money trees?

Legend says that having a Money tree in your home will bring good luck and possibly even financial fortune. We prefer “legend” over “superstition” because it sounds fancier and makes us look cooler for believing in it.

Is there a difference between a Money tree and a Money plant?

Sadly, the legend that Money trees bring wealth and fortune is more of a metaphor than a practical promise. None of our Money trees have ever grown cash, and if they start, we won’t sell them to you anymore!

Why is it called a Money tree?

The Money tree gets its name from the legend, myth, or superstition that it brings financial luck to its owner or household. However, it’s not literal; Money trees don’t grow money (and no one will pay you to own one).

How long do Money trees live indoors?

Even indoors, a Money tree can live ten years or even longer. Of course, it requires TLC, but it’s an easy-care plant so that’s not a tall order. The Money tree will be your botanical companion for a decade.
