Money Tree (Pachira) Braided Trunk Care
The most beloved feature of the money tree is its braided trunk. Here are some things to keep in mind when caring for the braided trunk:
- The weaving won't continue on its own — twist the young shoots together while they're still tender.
- Do not attempt to unravel the braid once the stem has hardened.
- If the leaves are turning yellow, it may be due to overwatering or insufficient light.
- A healthy Pachira can grow 30-50 cm per year.
