Can You Save a Broken Limb on a Pachira Aquatica (Money Tree)?

A 6‑year‑old, 5‑foot Pachira aquatica had a heavy limb crack halfway up. The owner asked if the limb could be fused or rooted.

Fusing the Break

Apply a firm tourniquet on each side of the crack and cut back several inches from the break on both arms to reduce weight. Keep the tree in the brightest possible light. Healing is possible but not guaranteed.

Rooting the Removed Limb

Rooting a large woody cutting indoors is highly unlikely unless you can maintain very high humidity and bright light. The expert advised against expecting success.
