Money Tree Pachira Stump Bonsai, 4-Inch Pot

Give a bright desk or shelf a little tree-like character with this Money Tree (Pachira aquatica) stump bonsai. Green, hand-shaped clusters of leaflets rise above a short, sturdy trunk, creating a compact miniature-tree silhouette. This is a stump-style plant, not a braided-trunk form.

Points of interest and size

• One live Pachira stump bonsai listed at approximately 10–12 inches tall in a 4-inch nursery grow pot; trunk texture, leaf count and exact height vary.
• Estimated mature indoor height if allowed to grow: about 4–6 feet with suitable space and care; regular pruning can maintain a smaller bonsai-like form.
• Glossy green leaflets radiate from each leaf stem above its stout trunk.

Care guide

• Light: Give bright indirect or filtered light; gentle morning sun can suit an acclimated plant. Rotate occasionally for balanced growth and avoid harsh afternoon sun.
• Water: Water thoroughly once the upper 1–2 inches of soil dry, then let excess drain. Avoid keeping roots soggy, especially in cooler months.
• Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor potting mix with perlite in a pot with drainage holes.
• Humidity and temperature: Moderate household humidity supports fresh foliage. Keep warm and away from cold drafts or drying vents.
• Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, apply balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted according to its label every 4–6 weeks. Reduce or pause in winter.
• Pruning: Trim a long shoot just above a leaf node with clean scissors to keep the canopy compact and encourage branching; remove damaged leaves as needed.
• Repotting: Check roots every 1–2 years. If crowded, move up one pot size in fresh draining mix while keeping the stump at its original planting depth.
• Propagation: Take a healthy new-growth stem cutting with several nodes and root in warm, humid conditions in lightly moist propagation mix. Pot once roots are established; the resulting plant will develop its own trunk over time.
