    Pachira. Brief exposure to sunlight and weekly watering will be enough to make the plant thrive.
    The amount of water you give your plant is critical and one common mistake that many beginning plant owners make is over watering. This can actually kill your plant! You want to be sure to water so that the soil is moist but you don’t want to put so much in so that there is standing water in the planter.
    There are many Money Tree varieties,but this is normally the one used in Bonsai.

    The leaves will be smaller and only at the plant of water almost to death then the crown which gives it that bonsai look.
