Money Tree (Pachira) Trunk Damage: Wait for Regrowth, Try Rooting Branches

All branches broken off your 6-ft, 5-year money tree. The trunk may resprout—keep it in bright sun for 3 months before giving up.

Branch Propagation (If Leaves Still Green)

• Place in water immediately.
• Dip in rooting hormone, plant in soil.
• Cover with plastic bag (humidity).
• Bright light. Monitor for roots.

Reality Check

Money trees are woody trees—like maples. They don’t root easily from large branches. But the trunk has dormant buds. Patience is key.

If trunk resprouts, you’ll have a multi-branched tree. If not, start fresh.
