Common Names: Jade succulent, Money Plant

Description: The Crassula ovata ‘Jade’ is a timeless classic in the succulent world, loved for its striking, glossy green leaves and effortless care. 

Native to South Africa, this resilient beauty is often considered a symbol of prosperity and good luck, making it a popular addition to homes and offices alike. Its unique finger-like leaves, tipped with a delicate red outline, give it an eye-catching look that only becomes more vibrant with sun exposure.

Though it’s slow-growing, patience is rewarded—mature Jade plants develop thick, woody stems, giving them a miniature tree-like appearance. During late fall and early winter, this succulent can surprise you with clusters of tiny, pinkish-white star-shaped flowers, adding even more charm to its already stunning display.

Caring for a Jade plant is a breeze! It thrives in bright, indirect light and only needs occasional watering—just let the soil dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Hardy, adaptable, and long-lived, Crassula ovata is the perfect plant for beginners and seasoned collectors alike. Whether placed on a sunny windowsill or grown into an impressive bonsai-like specimen, the Jade plant is a statement piece that brings a touch of nature’s elegance indoors
