Remember these points when watering a money tree (Pachira aquatica), and its lush branches and leaves will be the envy of everyone

For a newly purchased money tree, you must first water it thoroughly, be sure to water it thoroughly, but be careful not to let water accumulate. The money tree grows relatively fast in summer and needs sufficient water, so you can water it a bit more as appropriate. In winter, reduce the amount of watering. The money tree is very drought-tolerant, so watering once every one or two months in winter is fine. Better dry than wet.

When a money tree is cared for outdoors, when watering, pay attention to watering as soon as the surface soil looks dry. During the rainy season, reduce the amount of watering. If the flower pot is relatively large, the potting soil will dry more slowly, so to avoid root rot, the amount of watering should also be reduced. If the place where the money tree grows is relatively dry, you can often spray a mist of water on the leaves, which can maintain air humidity.

The money tree likes acidic soil. Ordinary rainwater and river water are both slightly acidic and suitable for watering a money tree. If you use tap water from home to water it, it is best to let it sit on the balcony for two days before watering. If you keep fish at home, it is best to use the water from the fish tank to water the money tree, because the fish water contains leftover fish food and fish waste, all of which can provide nutrients to the money tree.
