Hug A Plant | Malabar Chestnut (Pachira glabra) – Live Fruit Plant

Scientific Name: Pachira glabra

Common Names: Malabar Chestnut, Saba Nut, Money Tree, Guiana Chestnut

🌱 Overview

The Malabar Chestnut, also known as Pachira glabra, is a stunning ornamental and fruit-bearing plant native to Central and South America. With its glossy green palmate leaves and large green fruit pods, this plant is often associated with prosperity and positive energy, especially in indoor spaces. Its strong adaptability to varied climates and minimal maintenance needs make it a favorite among gardeners and landscapers alike. The plant is also a great air purifier and serves as a conversation starter in any garden, balcony, or landscape.

Known as the "Money Tree" in Feng Shui, this tropical beauty is often kept indoors or in semi-shaded balconies to enhance green aesthetics and bring in luck and wealth. Hug A Plant proudly grows and supplies high-quality Malabar Chestnut plants that are healthy, disease-free, and suitable for both personal and professional landscaping needs.

🌿 Landscaping Uses

Malabar Chestnut is an excellent choice for urban landscaping, terrace gardens, courtyard centers, poolside decor, and lawn borders. Due to its upright growth and elegant canopy, it adds vertical green texture to spaces. It can also be featured in designer planters near entrances, office corridors, or hotel lobbies. The plant’s tropical appeal makes it ideal for resorts and wellness retreats across Kerala, including Kochi, Thrissur, Calicut, Trivandrum, Kottayam, Alappuzha, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kollam, Kannur, Wayanad, and Pathanamthitta.

🪴 Care Instructions

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate partial shade but avoid deep shade for extended periods.
  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
  • Soil: Well-draining loamy or sandy soil is ideal. Ensure proper drainage in the pot or planting site.
  • Humidity: Thrives in medium to high humidity. Mist occasionally in dry indoor environments.
  • Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once every 3-4 weeks during the growing season.
  • Pruning: Trim occasional leggy branches to encourage bushy growth and shape.
  • Pests: Relatively pest-resistant, though watch out for mealybugs and spider mites.
