Pachira glabra Variegated (commonly sold as Variegated Money Tree) in the houseplant trade—whether labeled Pachira glabra or Pachira aquatica—almost always refers to the same variegated form known as ‘Milky Way’. This highly sought-after variety is characterized by spotted variegation, with crisp white to cream flecks and streaks scattered across glossy green, palmate leaves. These plants are grown from seed, and the variegation is considered stable rather than the result of a temporary sport. Like standard money trees, it develops an upright, tree-like form over time and performs best in bright, indirect light with well-draining soil, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings under warm, stable conditions.
