Commonly known as the Water Chestnut, or the Malabar Chestnut, this easy-to-care-for, fast-growing plant is native to Central and South America. With its deep green, star-like leaves and full, luscious, tree-shaped nature, the Money Tree will bring the outdoors into your space! It is also said to bring some luck your way, with the 5 leaves representing each element; earth, fire, water, wind and metal!
Being that it’s from a swampy, wetland environment, it thrives in high humidity, warm temperatures, slightly moist soil, low to indirect bright light and will grow up to 6 to 8 ft. tall indoors. This makes them great for just about anywhere in your home, as they can tolerate many different lighting levels! Over time this plant may drop some of its lower leaves, but don’t be alarmed, this is just a natural occurrence in the plant’s life cycle.
