Succulents have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with houseplants being no exception. Jade plant (Crassula ovata) has long been a favorite of houseplant enthusiasts for its round fleshy leaves, distinct tree-like form, and undemanding nature.

Also known as lucky plant, money plant or money tree, jade plant signifies luck, prosperity and friendship in many Asian cultures. It’s considered good feng shui to keep a jade plant by the front door to welcome money into the home. These revered plants are often given as housewarming or congratulatory gifts.

Though jade plant is grown primarily as a houseplant, it will also thrive outdoors as an evergreen perennial shrub in warmer regions. Learn how to grow these easy-care plants and explore different varieties here.
