Crassula Jade
Crassula Jade is a classic succulent prized for its thick, glossy, oval-shaped green leaves and sturdy, tree-like growth habit. As the plant matures, its fleshy stems gradually become woody and develop a miniature tree appearance, allowing older specimens to become impressive statement plants. With strong light, the edges of the leaves may develop attractive reddish tones, and mature plants can occasionally produce clusters of small star-shaped flowers.
The proper botanical name is Crassula ovata, commonly known as Jade Plant, Money Plant, Lucky Plant, or Money Tree. It is native to southern Africa and has been cultivated as a houseplant for generations. It should not be confused with Pachira aquatica, another unrelated houseplant commonly sold under the name Money Tree.
Care
Crassula Jade does best in very bright light with several hours of direct sunlight. Indoors, place it near a bright, sunny window. Strong light encourages compact growth, sturdy stems, and attractive red coloration along the leaf margins. Gradually acclimate plants to intense direct sunlight to reduce the risk of scorching.
Allow the potting mix to dry completely or almost completely between waterings, then water thoroughly and allow all excess water to drain. Its thick leaves and stems store substantial moisture, making overwatering a much greater concern than occasional drought. Reduce watering during cooler months and periods of slower growth.
Use a very well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix in a container with drainage. Adding pumice, perlite, lava rock, coarse sand, or other mineral amendments can improve drainage and airflow around the roots. Avoid dense soil that remains wet for extended periods.
Crassula Jade prefers warm temperatures and low to moderate humidity. Typical household humidity is generally suitable. Protect it from prolonged freezing temperatures and avoid combining cool conditions with wet soil.
This succulent develops a slow to moderately growing, upright and branching habit. Regular pruning can encourage branching and create a fuller, more tree-like shape, making Jade Plants popular for bonsai-style training. Mature, well-established plants may produce clusters of small white to pale pink, star-shaped flowers, particularly when they receive strong light and experience appropriate seasonal conditions.
Pet Safety
Crassula Jade is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Eating the plant can cause symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy, weakness, or loss of coordination. Keep Jade Plants out of reach of pets and small children.
