Milky Way Variegated Money Tree
Pachira Glabra Albo

NOTE: **Not all plants will ship with majority-white leaves and will require pruning.**
White growth will fade over time and requires pruning. When leaves begin growing in green, higher variegation can be initiated by pruning the apical growth. New growth appears white/green and matures to more green/white. 

 The variegated money tree features palmately compound leaves displaying irregular splashes, sectors, and margins of white variegation across the glossy deep green leaflets — each leaf a unique composition that transforms an already handsome plant into something genuinely collector-worthy. It is worth noting that variegated Pachira specimens are relatively rare in the market and may include both naturally occurring mutations and chemically induced variegation; stability can vary between individuals. The braided trunk remains the signature feature — ornamental, structural, and culturally meaningful all at once.

This cultivar performs best in bright indirect light — good light supports both vigorous growth and the most vivid variegation expression, while direct sun scorches the lighter variegated sectors rapidly. The variegated form requires slightly stronger light than the standard green Money Tree to maintain its pattern. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2" of soil is dry, allowing full drainage each time; like all Pachira, it is sensitive to root rot from waterlogged conditions and should never sit in standing water. Use a well-draining potting mix with added perlite. Moderate humidity of 40-60% is sufficient, though higher humidity reduces leaf tip browning. Maintain temperatures between 65-85°F and protect from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations, which trigger leaf drop. Non-toxic to humans and pets.
