    VERY COOL! Thank you for making a video for this variegated variety. Are they actually naturally-occurring varieties or are they cultivated? I acquired a an aurea variegated at my local Home Depot. It was hidden in a 5-branch braid of regular pachiras. I've since cut down the other four and only allowed the variegated trunk to grow. It's still young so I'm not sure what the variegation will look like when the leaves get larger. Also, what root-stock are you using - regular Pachira? I'm scared to graph using your tongue and groove method (as my prior attempts on figs have resulted in the graphs drying out), I've only tied branches (trunks) together and allowed them to fuse, then I cut the bottom off, keeping the top fused to the other tree.

      I am glad that you liked it. I think the variegated ones are cultivated but I am not so sure. There is an aurea variety that turns green as the leaves mature and can be mistaken as a regular pachira. I think that is what happened to your braided pachira.

      We are using regular pachira trunk and we are doing tongue and groove. You can use any method that goes well with you.

      I will try to create a video of the two aurea varieties that I have here so you can see what both of them would look like when they grow. I hope very soon.

      @@brainarabia8468 BTW, there are many dupes out there selling/marketing Pachira ‘aquatica’ when it’s really Pachira glabra. I have a regular (albeit) 6ft tall braided tree and I planted outside in the ground and it flowered a year later… with white flowers :-( Pachira aquatica’s flowers are brilliant red. But with your beautifully variegated leaves, I suppose it’s all about the leaves and less the flower -lol.

      That is indeed very difficult to spot as they totally look the same. Unless of course you will wait for the plant to flower and bear fruit.
