Crassula, commonly known as jade plant or money tree, is a popular pot plant favored for its sculptural beauty, low maintenance, and long-lasting appeal. With fleshy, glossy leaves and a compact, upright growth habit, Crassula is ideal for modern indoor designs, seasonal plant arrangements, or long-term gifting. This succulent thrives in bright conditions and dry environments, making it a reliable choice for both garden centers and floristry businesses.
Why Choose Crassula?
- Low Maintenance: Crassula requires minimal attention. It prefers bright, indirect light
and infrequent watering. No misting or fertilizing is needed on a regular basis. - Varietal Diversity: Available in many striking varieties including Crassula ovata (Jade
Plant), Crassula perforata (String of Buttons), and Crassula arborescens (Silver Jade),
each offering unique leaf shapes and colors perfect for mix-and-match plant
displays. - Year-Round Availability: Crassula is not limited by seasonality. Its year-round
resilience ensures constant stock turnover and display value.
Care tips
Place Crassula in a well-lit area, preferably with 4–6 hours of indirect sunlight daily. Allow the soil to dry completely between watering. Avoid overwatering, as succulents are sensitive to root rot. No frequent repotting is needed, the plant thrives when slightly root-bound. Remove any dry or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance.
