The Jade Plant (Crassula ovata), also known as the Lucky Plant or Money Plant, is a resilient succulent native to South Africa. With its thick, fleshy, oval-shaped leaves and sturdy stems, it is often associated with good fortune and prosperity. Indoors, it grows slowly and can reach up to 3 feet tall, developing a miniature tree-like appearance over time.
SIZE: Dimensions (including pot): Approx. 10.5" x 8" x 8" ; Pot width: 7". Pot style shown in picture
LIKES: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun. Prefers warm temperatures and dry conditions, making it an excellent low-maintenance houseplant.
DISLIKES: Overwatering is the biggest threat—too much moisture can cause root rot. Also dislikes cold drafts and prolonged exposure to low light, which can lead to weak growth.
HEALTH BENEFITS: Helps improve indoor air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide at night. It also adds a calming and aesthetically pleasing touch to any space.
WATERING AND FEEDING: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
LIVING WITH PETS AND CHILDREN: Mildly toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and small children. Ingestion may cause mild stomach upset.
