The classic Jade Plant, Crassula ovata, is a beloved, easy-care succulent with thick, glossy, oval-shaped green leaves. Often associated with good luck and prosperity, this plant is a timeless addition to homes and offices. With proper care and bright light, its leaves may develop striking red edges, adding extra charm to its appearance.

Scientific Name
Crassula ovata (thick-leaved plant, ovata refers to the oval-shaped leaves)

Native to South Africa and Mozambique, Crassula ovata has been cultivated for centuries and is often called the “Money Tree” or “Friendship Tree” due to its symbolism in various cultures.

Common Name(s)
Jade Plant, Money Tree, Friendship Tree

Origin
Native to South Africa and Mozambique, thriving in rocky, arid regions.

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate full sun. A sunny south- or west-facing window is ideal indoors. Gradually acclimate it to direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch.

Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, as overwatering is the most common cause of problems. During winter dormancy, reduce watering significantly.

Humidity
Thrives in low-humidity environments. Avoid misting and ensure good airflow around the plant to prevent rot.

Soil
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added sand or perlite. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Food
Feed every 6–8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced fertiliser suitable for succulents. Pause feeding in autumn and winter.

Temperature
Thrives in temperatures between 18–26°C. Protect from frost and avoid exposure to temperatures below 5°C.

Pet-safe
Toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

Sprouts Top Tips
When a Jade Plant receives full sun, the tips of the leaves can turn a vibrant red. This is a sign of healthy stress and adds an attractive pop of colour. To enhance this effect, place the plant in bright light and reduce watering slightly.

Extras
The thick, glossy leaves of Crassula ovata store water, making it a highly drought-tolerant and forgiving houseplant.

Did You Know?
In feng shui, Crassula ovata is considered a symbol of prosperity and wealth. It is often placed near entrances or in the “wealth corner” of a home or office to attract good fortune.

 

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.
