A plant enhances the atmosphere much more and becomes more beautiful with a decorative pot that matches both the plant and its space. The recommended diameter of a pot for this is 32 - 48 cm. This is not only an eye-pleasing proportion, but also makes caring for the plant more easy.

The Pachira aquatica likes the soil to be slightly moist, preferably it has a thick bucket full of water once every three weeks. A bit of a small jungle shower!
This plant should be placed in a place where the sun shines a lot. However, the Pachira aquatica can only withstand a lot of direct sunlight so it can get yellow leaves. We recommend to place your Pachira aquatica 2 to 3 meters from the window.
Nutrition is very important for plants. We recommend that this plant is provided with a good nutrient base by using high quality Mediterranean soil. We also recommend that extra nutrients are provided by bacterially activating the soil using our nutrient tablets. This will provide the plant with all the necessary nutrients. The plant will become stronger and remain beautiful.
Pruning a plant is simple. When a leaf starts to dry out, it should be cut with e.g. pruning shears.
Our plant sizes are determined by measuring the smallest plants up until the largest in a field with hundreds of plants. Because a plant is a natural product, it's possible a plant is a little smaller than the mentioned minimum size.
This deviation is 10cm maximum. In our guidelines we keep a margin of max. 10cm regarding the minimum size.
Note: when you order a plant that doesn't stay green in the winter, it's probably (when ordered during the winter months or the beginning spring season) smaller than the minimum size. This is not a problem in any case, because the plant will grow new branches or leaves and the minimum height will be reached within a short period. Your order will have the right size within a short time.
