The braided Pachira Aquatica, also known as the Guiana chestnut, is a beautiful green plant with a braided tree trunk which might remind you a bit of South American mangroves. Despite her Latin American roots the Pachira Aquatica is most famous in Asia, where her five-pointed leaf is regarded as being very symbolic in feng shui. She is a real asset as a large domestic plant, because she grows fast! In nature it can even grow up to 25 metres high.
The braided Pachira Aquatica might come from the wet areas of South America but in a pot she does not like wet feet- indeed, it is better to let the soil dry a little before you water it again. She also likes some light, but like so many plants she doesn't like the full summer sun. In summer it is best to place it a metre or two away from the window and move it onto the windowsill in winter. Brown leaves are best cut out, and once a month in the spring and summer months some organic PLNTS nutrition will make the leaves even greener.

The plant was a bit damaged on the stems. I expected it to look nicer.

Nice plant, with lots of new growth, but since it's fragile it arrived with some broken leaves. (also because the delivery guy turned the box upside down...)
Your order will be hand picked and packed in our strong and sustainable packaging as soon as possible, after which it will be delivered straight from our greenhouse to your door by your chosen carrier. You can follow the journey of your plants via the tracking link you receive in your mail. If you have any questions regarding your order and its shipment, you can get in contact with our support team.
We expect every order to arrive in tip-top shape. We take intensive care of the plants in our greenhouse and use special and as sustainable as possible protective packaging to ship our plants. We also wrote an extensive blog about how to unpack and prepare your plants for growth after shipping. However there are rare occasions where our plants don’t meet their full potential. That’s why all plants are guaranteed for 30 days after arrival, if still in its original nursery pot.
