Today, let's introduce a popular indoor foliage plant - Pachira aquatica. Some flower shop owners also call it Polyscias guilfoylei. It has rather round leaves in appearance, so it implies that there can be countless amounts of money placed at home. Feng shui masters suggest that flower lovers place it in the "wealth position" of the family, which can enhance the effect of attracting wealth and treasures.
As a very unique evergreen shrub, Pachira aquatica not only has a beautiful meaning but also has the effect of purifying the air. After buying it from a flower shop, daily maintenance is relatively simple. Its suitable growth temperature is between 22-28℃. It can be placed in a place with sufficient sunlight on a daily basis. But note that when it is above 35 degrees in midsummer, it needs to avoid direct sunlight to avoid the leaves being easily burned by excessive light. When the temperature is lower than 15℃ in winter, it will enter a stage of slow growth. When the temperature is lower than 10℃, it will start to shed leaves.
In terms of watering, Pachira aquatica likes moist soil. Therefore, when watering, it should be thoroughly watered. When the weather is dry, a little water mist can be sprayed around it to increase air humidity. When supplementing water, it should be noted that do not leave stagnant water at the bottom of the flowerpot to avoid root rot.
In terms of fertilization, if you want its leaves to be shiny, you need to apply a thin organic fertilizer every half a month. But note that do not add strong fertilizers. Fertilization can be stopped in winter.
