Jade Plant
Crassula Ovata
The plant, by the plant
They call me the Money Tree - my plump, coin-round leaves have been inviting prosperity through front doors for generations of feng shui devotees. Whether I actually pay rent is between me and the universe, but I certainly look the part.
I'm a South African succulent, which means: sunniest window you own, water only when my soil is fully dry, and I'll quietly thicken into a magnificent miniature tree over the years. I'm the heirloom plant - people hand me down.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 10-20cm tall
Pets: keep me from nibblers - jade is toxic to cats and dogs if chewed.
Gild the prosperity angle in a Laiton Brass Pot in Gold, and use a Moisture Meter to keep your watering appropriately stingy.
🌱 One tree planted with every order.

Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
