Crassula ovata

Often called the Jade Plant or Money Plant, Crassula ovata is a timeless succulent with plump, glossy green leaves that can develop red edges in bright light. Loved for its easy-going nature and classic good looks, it brings a touch of charm and is often thought to symbolize prosperity and good fortune. With its tree-like shape, it makes a perfect addition to desks, shelves, or sunny windowsills.

Care Guide

☀️ Light
Thrives in bright light, including some direct sun. A sunny windowsill is ideal.

💧 Watering
As a succulent, it prefers the “soak and dry” method—water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Less is more in winter when growth slows.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Best in 18–26°C and tolerates average household conditions. Keep away from frost or very cold drafts.

🌱 Soil
Needs a gritty, well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent root rot.

🌿 Extra Tips

• Rotate occasionally for even growth.

• Can be pruned to encourage a bushier, tree-like form.

• In the right conditions, mature plants may produce small star-shaped pinkish-white flowers.

• A long-lived plant that can grow with you for many years.
