How to pair a decorative pot

For no fuss or mess you can place the plant in its growing pot (the pot it arrives in) inside a decorative one. This allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.

For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot. Here is how we measure and list pot sizes:

Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in a rounded pot.

We recommend using a liner to protect your decorative pot and prevent leaking (whether placing the nursery pot inside or repotting directly into the decorative pot).

Care Instructions

When your plant arrives, follow these simple steps to help it settle into its new home.

For plant specific detail read our full Money Tree care guide.

  • Choose a suitable place with appropriate light - check our Light Guide
  • Carefully remove the plant from its packaging and allow it to adjust to its new environment.
  • Before watering, check the soil with your finger. If the top few centimetres feel dry, water lightly. If still moist, allow the soil to dry before watering.
  • Ensure the plant sits in a well-draining pot or nursery container, allowing excess water to drain away. (If planted follow our potted plant advice here)
  • Avoid moving the plant frequently during the first few days, allowing it time to acclimatise to its new surroundings.
  • Check your plant regularly and adjust watering and light as needed.

Following these simple steps will help your plant establish and thrive in its new space.

Plants often take 7–10 days to begin adjusting to a new environment -  light and temperature conditions - and some leaf movement or drop during this period is completely normal.

Best space & place

It requires bright indirect light, but direct sunlight will scorch the leaves and result in white patches.

When to water & feed

Also known as the Guiana Chestnut, this intriguing specimen grows by the water, hence the addition of 'Aquatica' but doesn't need as much watering as you would expect. Storing water in its bulbous trunk. 

Need to know 

The stems are incredibly delicate so moving around your home may mean some are bent, and these should just be clipped away. They are incredibly fast growing so are replaced very quickly. 

Pollutant Absorption Credentials

The Money Tree has been shown to help remove benzene and formaldehyde from the air. These toxins are given off by plastics, synthetic fibers and dyes, but can also be found in tobacco smoke, paint and furniture wax, making it perfect for your living room.
