Overview

Originating from Central and South America's wetlands, this striking tree-like plant boasts glossy leaves and a distinctive plaited stem. As a popular houseplant, Pachira aquatica thrives indoors, and while its tropical counterpart can reach towering heights of 20m or more, expect a more modest stature in a pot. Primarily grown for its interesting stem and bright green leaves, mature specimens dazzle with cream flowers spanning 30cm, complemented by over 200 gold and crimson stamens, leading to the formation of fruit housing up to 25 nuts.Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative).

Specifications

  • Position: bright, indirect light
  • Soil: good-quality, peat-free potting compost
  • Rate of growth: average
  • Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
  • Current height: approximately cm (+ or - 10% including the pot)

Care guide

Keep well watered - particularly during the warmer months, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Reduce watering in winter, when the top few cms of compost feel dry to the touch. Maintain temperatures above 10°C and mist with water regularly to increase the humidity around the plant - or site the pot on a tray filled with wet shingle. Repot every couple of years, but avoid repotting into a much larger pot. In spring, cut back shoots as necessary to control size.
