Thompson and Morgan Pachira Aquatica Tree Braided Stem Plant in Pot 12cm

Embrace the allure of the Pachira Aquatica, a fast-growing indoor tree distinguished by its large, palmate leaves. Each leaf divides into five glossy leaflets, forming a captivating crown of foliage atop a woody, plaited stem. Despite its exotic appearance, this houseplant is remarkably easy to care for. For optimal growth, position in a warm, bright location, shielded from strong, direct sunlight. A superb houseplant, it creates a stunning focal point in any conservatory or well-lit room at home. This variety also thrives under fluorescent lighting, making it ideal for office environments. Grow in a bright or lightly shaded area, avoiding the scorch of hot, direct sunlight. The Pachira Aquatica flourishes in average temperatures of 16-24°C (60-75°F), tolerating occasional dips to a minimum of 12°C (53°F). Keep away from radiators and cold draughts. Water and feed regularly from March to September during active growth, ensuring thorough drainage after watering. A humid environment is appreciated; place the plant on a tray of pebbles and water to boost humidity as the water evaporates. Please be aware that some houseplants can be toxic or harmful to pets if ingested; seek immediate veterinary attention if consumption is suspected, and bring a sample of the plant.
