Recovering A ‘Money Tree’

Question

I am looking for some help regarding a ‘money tree’ which has lost most of its leaves. I have had one suggestion, and that is to remove the rest of the branches and leave the main stems (or what seem more like trunks. The tree is about 2. 5 ft tall. ). I don’t know if any of it will regrow then. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer 1

Money Tree, or Pachira aquatica needs to be pruned when it gets too tall. If your plant is 2.5 feet tall, prune the stems back to within 1-1.5" of the top of it's braid or twist. New stems will sprout out. You will find more information at the following site: http://www.guide-to-houseplants.com/money-tree-plant.html
