money tree
Lucky braided houseplant
A money tree is a houseplant (*Pachira aquatica*) with braided trunk and palm-like leaves, believed in some traditions to bring financial luck.
Figuratively, a money tree is an imaginary source of unlimited funds: Do you think I have a money tree in the backyard?
The phrase often appears sarcastically when someone spends freely or asks for money.
