Common problems:

1. Root rot: Pachira aquatica is susceptible to root rot if overwatered or if the substrate does not drain properly. It is important to allow the substrate to dry slightly between waterings and use a well-draining substrate.

2. Yellowing leaves: Yellowing leaves on the Pachira aquatica can indicate watering problems, such as overwatering or underwatering. Make sure to water the plant properly, avoiding both waterlogging and underwatering.

3. Growing Problems: Some aquatic Pachiras may exhibit slow or stunted growth if not provided with the proper conditions. Make sure to place the plant in bright, indirect light and provide adequate watering and nutrition to encourage healthy growth.

4. Sensitivity to Extreme Temperatures: The Pachira prefers moderate temperatures and can be sensitive to extreme temperatures, both cold and hot. Avoid placing it near cold drafts or exposed to excessively high temperatures.
