O' Beautiful Jade Tree - an exceptionally beautiful succulent with particularly appealing leaves. Affectionately known as the friendship tree, lucky plant, or even the money tree, is notoriously low-maintenance and difficult to kill.
Jade plants have long been thought to bring good fortune to their owners, so make great housewarming gifts.
Additionally, these resilient succulents can live for a long time and are often passed down from generation to generation. Another great reason to gift.
The Jade Tree likes having plenty of light, but not scorching direct sun. Preferably indirect as when behind a window.
Excess water is what most often kills this plant.
The Jade Tree is best grown indoors in most growing zones. You can set it in a pot.
Jade plants can grow to up to five feet tall, so they may become top heavy with time. You may need to transfer the plant from its original pot to one that can better accommodate its growth. It is best to repot jade plants during the warm season.
The Jade Tree is also easily trimmed to a bonsai shape.
