Common Name(s): Guiana Chestnut, Money Tree
- Description: Native to central and South America, the Money Tree is a braided tree that can grow up to 6-8 feet indoors or be trained as a bonsai. In east Asia, the Money Tree is often used by those who practice Feng Shui to bring positive "Chi", or energy, into the room, thus being a popular housewarming gift. On top of that, it is a hardy plant that requires relatively low maintenance. It can tolerate direct sunlight, but prefers bright indirect light, lots of water, and warm temperatures.
(For best results and care of your Kokedama, immerse it in water for 1 or 2 minutes in a tray every 2 or 3 days. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, place it in a ventilated place.)
