Crassula ovata, commonly known as the Jade Plant. Revered for its symbolic meaning (luck, prosperity, longevity) and remarkable adaptability. Decorating a tiny apartment, filling a sunny windowsill, or curating a succulent garden, there’s a Crassula ovata variety that fits the bill.

Whether you’re caring for a towering saguaro, a tiny ball cactus, or a leafy Christmas cactus, this advice will help you nurture your spiny companions through the colder months—no guesswork required.

It’s less about simple survival and more about understanding and mimicking the dormant conditions these plants naturally experience in their native, arid environments.

That’s the magic of the money tree. It’s not a fancy gift, but it’s a thoughtful one. It’s a way to say “I see you, I’m happy for you, and I hope good things come your way”—all wrapped up in a lush, green package.
