Money Tree 'Guiana Chestnut' Pachira Stump

Money Tree Stump 🌿✨ is loved for its thick woody trunk and lush hand-shaped leaves, giving it a clean tropical look with a sculptural feel that works beautifully on desks, shelves, and bright corners. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the foliage stays full and healthy without harsh sun. This is a generally easy plant that handles average indoor conditions well, as long as it is not kept constantly soggy. Pro tip: rotate it every week or two and let the top inch or two of soil dry before watering again, because uneven light and overwatering are two of the most common reasons it starts to sulk 💧.
