Money Tree ‘Guiana Chestnut’ Pachira Stump brings sculptural form to indoor spaces with a thick, woody trunk topped by a canopy of glossy green leaflets arranged like an open hand. Unlike a braided money tree, this stump form highlights a single substantial base and its branching leafy growth. Warm conditions, gentle light, and careful watering help this tropical tree thrive indoors.
