About this plant
Pachira Mini is a young Pachira aquatica, the money tree, a tropical tree from Central and South America. At this size it has a slender green-brown stem topped with glossy leaves divided into five to seven leaflets, like an open hand.
It is a good beginner plant for Dubai interiors. It handles AC rooms and medium light, and its swollen stem stores some water, so a missed watering is not a crisis. It prefers bright, indirect light; too little light makes it leggy, and direct summer sun through glass scorches the leaves. Overwatering is the main thing to avoid, especially in small pots without drainage.
It works on office desks, reception counters, shelves and kitchen tables, and is a common gift for new jobs, homes and businesses. We offer it as a compact plant of around 20 to 30 cm.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Pachira Mini healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 7–10 days in summer when the top half of the soil is dry; every 2 weeks in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: Free-draining potting mix with perlite or bark. Feeding: Balanced liquid feed once a month from spring to autumn. Common mistake: Watering too often, which rots the roots and softens the stem. Where it works: Office desks, reception counters, shelves and gifting.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses.

Pachira Mini FAQs
Is a money tree easy to care for in Dubai?
Yes. It handles AC and medium light well; just let the soil dry partly between waterings.
How often should I water a small Pachira?
About every 7 to 10 days in summer and every 2 weeks in winter, when the top half of the soil is dry.
Is it toxic to pets?
The ASPCA lists Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses.
Why are the leaves turning yellow?
Most often from overwatering or a pot without drainage. Let it dry out more between waterings.
