A slender reddish, brown trunk, often braided, erupts into a flurry of large, glossy, bright green leaves in a graceful palmate form. With a vigorous growth habit and low maintenance needs, this makes a great choice for interior decoration, adding height, texture, and a tropical feel to any cluster of houseplants. May also be trained as a bonsai and used as a table plant. For Feng Shui enthusiasts, the five braided stems signify money arriving and the five leaves symbolize the fundamental elements: water, earth, fire, metal, and wood. Pachira aquatica
