Your Money Tree (either Pachira aquatica or Pachira glabra) looks healthy. It will want bright light and regular water. An occasional application of a complete fertilizer will be beneficial.

Sometimes known as Guiana Chestnut, or less accurately Malabar Chestnut; Pachira is a genus of trees, in the Bombax Subfamily (Bombacoideae) of the Mallow Family (Malvaceae), native to the New World tropics.

The widespread species Pachira aquatica, native to Mexico, Central America and northern South America, is sometimes sold as a houseplant known as Money Tree. However, another species, Pachira glabra, native to southeastern Brazil, may actually be more commonly grown.
