That\u2019s why it\u2019s widely used to decorate offices, homes, shops and shopping centres across Asia. Apparently, having it nearby brings good energy, and the origin of this belief lies in its leaves: palmate with five leaflets, easily linked to the 5 elements of Feng Shui: earth, fire, wood, water and metal. Besides this link to luck\/happiness, this plant\u2014native to swampy areas of Central America, northern Brazil and Peru (and in our climate it should be kept indoors)\u2014is low-maintenance, elegant and eye-catching. Make sure you place it somewhere with plenty of indirect\/filtered light, check that the air inside your home isn\u2019t too dry, keep it away from heating\/cooling systems, don\u2019t overwater, and never forget that standing water (in the saucer or in decorative pots without drainage holes) can rot the roots. With its braided trunk and large, glossy, pointed green leaves at the top, the <em>Pachira aquatica<\/em> will help create a little oasis in any indoor space, and also help purify the air and remove toxins around it. Need more reasons to buy this plant? It\u2019s also an excellent gift, whatever the occasion or celebration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific name<\/strong>: <em>Pachira aquatica<\/em><br \/><strong>Common name<\/strong>: Money Tree<br \/><strong>Family<\/strong>: <em>Malvaceae<\/em><br \/><strong>Origin:<\/strong> Central and South America<br \/><strong>Category<\/strong>: Indoor plant<br \/><strong>Approx. height<\/strong>: 1 m<br \/><strong>Di\u00e2metro vaso<\/strong>: 19cm<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUIDADOS<\/strong><br \/><strong>Light<\/strong>: Prefers plenty of indirect light, but also tolerates light shade.
