Answers:
Chinese restaurants commonly have them, believing that they bring `money luck`, they do not grow Pachira aquatica, but Crassula ovata, the Jade or Money Tree. Pachira likes humidity, stand on gravel tray, or mist spray daily. Avoid direct sunlight, choose filtered light or some shade. Water regularly during summer, add a little liquid feed to water EVERY month. Reduce watering overwinter, keeping compost just moist. Keep AWAY from radiators/hot air ducts/ cold draughts, temperature around 50 F. Wipe leaves and mist spray often, keep pebble tray wet, less so during winter.
