You can spot the money tree in a gray planter for $8.99; they’re usually located with the floral bouquets near the checkout lines.

Pachira aquatica, the scientific name for the money tree, is native to Central and South America, and it is believed to bring its caretaker luck and prosperity. Similar to pothos plants, they’re also quite easy to look after (as long as you don’t overwater them). The low-maintenance plant thrives in bright environments with indirect lighting and moderate-to-high humidity, so keep them away from direct sunlight to protect the leaves. Be sure to check for drainage holes in your plant pot, so the soil can avoid root rot.

Last year the money trees arrived in stores during the summer, which was the perfect time to begin taking care of one so it would blossom in late fall.

Its thick, braided trunk might make it appear more difficult to maintain, but it’s fairly easy for a beginner plant parent. And if you’re attending a housewarming party, this plant could be a thoughtful and fruitful gift for a loved one. Now’s the time to begin your wealth and prosperity for the rest of the year.
