My first Pachira Aquatica. Not gonna lie, I’d never even heard of this before I saw it and bought it. But I had to have it! Anyone have any good tips for this cutie? Thanks!

That's so cute! I've never seen a money tree so short and stout. I woulda bought that up too lol I know they like a lot of water.

Thank you! Yeah I guess I’ve seen the braided trunks and had no interest. Didn’t realize this was the same thing until now. This little thick stump got me, lol.
