Money Tree aka: Pachira aquatica is a tropical wetland tree in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to Central and South America where it grows in swamps.
Scientific name: Pachira aquatica
Kingdom: Plantae
Propagation
The easiest way to accomplish money tree propagation is through cuttings. Take a six-inch (15 cm.) branch cutting with several leaf nodes and snip off the leaves on the lower third of the cutting, then dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Water
Your Money Tree prefers deep but infrequent watering. Water your Money Tree when the top 50%-75% of the soil is dry. Water the plant until it runs from the drainage holes and discard any excess water from the saucer. To prevent root rot, make sure your plant is never standing in water.
Sunlight
Best Conditions for Growing a Money Tree
Bright indirect light: A money tree needs daily light, but direct sunlight will scorch its leaves. It grows naturally in partial shade beneath the canopy of other trees, so provide a similar environment for it in your home.
