Pruning is an essential aspect of maintaining a healthy and attractive money tree (Pachira aquatica). By selectively removing certain branches and leaves, you can encourage new growth, improve the plant’s shape, and enhance its overall vitality. Pruning also helps promote better air circulation, allowing sunlight to reach the inner parts of the plant and reducing the risk of disease.
The ideal time to prune a money tree is during the spring or summer months when the plant is actively growing. Before you begin, gather the necessary tools, including sharp pruning shears, gloves, and a bucket or container for discarded cuttings. It’s also important to wear eye protection to safeguard yourself from any flying debris.
