Common Name: Fortune Tree, Money Tree, Malabar Chestnut, French Peanut, Guiana Chestnut, Provision Tree, Saba Nut, Monguba, Pumpo, Jelinjoche
Scientific Name: Pachira aquatica (possibly the closely related Pachira glabra)
Pachira aquatica is a tropical wetland tree in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to Central and South America, where it grows in swamps. In addition to being used in terrariums, it can also make for an excellent bonsai or house plant, with a large, sturdy trunk that tapers off into a wide canopy of elongated, lush leaves.
These particular specimens feature multiple trunks in the same pot, grown and braided together.
-Care Recommendations By The Dude-
Best for These Animals: Small to medium-sized reptiles and amphibians, including arboreal (tree-dwelling) species.
Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma
Soil Depth: Moderate to deep
Lighting: Bright, indirect light
Humidity & Misting: 40%-100%, can tolerate 20%-40%, but higher humidity is suggested for optimal growth.
Mature Plant Size & Root System: Can grow up to 6-8 feet indoors, with a spread of 2-3 feet, and can grow to a much larger size outdoors in its native habitat. The root system can also become extensive, but is generally okay when contained in an enclosure. Pruning is suggested to keep the plant manageable in an enclosure.
Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures or low humidity may cause leaves to brown. Best used as a back/wall planting; corner placement recommended.
Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: While not always classified as highly toxic, the money tree can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in some reptiles if consumed, however, reptiles and amphibians do not typically ingest them.
