Saving an Overwatered Pachira (Money Tree)

A soft, mushy trunk means root rot from overwatering—the plant is likely beyond saving. If you try again, repot into a container 2 inches wider using cactus mix for drainage. Water thoroughly, empty the saucer after an hour, then wait until the soil surface is dry and the pot feels light before watering again. This weight‑based method prevents future rot.
