hi world ! My name is Na’kerea and I Just recently got a Pachira aquatica ( Money tree ) this is my first plant and I just really want to take care of her ! I’ve already named her vaylani and I talk to her already ! I don’t want to repot her and I want to keep her in the same soil and I HATE BUGS please give me any advice or tips … Here’s some pictures I took of vaylani so far !
Good luck!!

This is an excellent hot tip right here! Knowing the weight of damp soil vs dry will be very helpful!

Fairly new but I removed the ribbon from mine to help mine grow more and she has significantly!

i just got one today and she is my 30th plant no name yet
What I did was get these little shape fly trap like they came in stars and heart and stuff like that to get rid of the ones flying around than I went in with an alcohol neam oil and water mix and I just had to shake it up before use
