Crassula argentea variegata 'Money Tree'
Crassula argentea variegata 'Money Tree'
Crassula argentea variegata 'Money Tree' Highlights:
- 'Money Tree' is a variegated jade plant with oval green and cream leaves that develop red margins when stressed. This impressive jade can reach up to 8' wide.
- Produces tall bloom stalks with white, star-shaped flowers.
- Easily propagated from leaf and stem cuttings.
- Hardy to Zone 9b (25°-30° F). Jade will not survive a hard frost. However, succulents can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 35° F. If there is only a risk of freezing temperatures for a few days, most succulents do just fine outside if they are covered by frost cloth or a sheet until temperatures increase (I'm talking to you, Zone 9 friends).
Jade Care: As with all succulents, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. Succulents should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drain holes. Jade will display wrinkled leaves when in need of a deep watering and black spots when given too much water.
PLEASE NOTE that this jade plant has been found to be mildly poisonous to animals such as cats, dogs and horses and mildly toxic to humans. Be sure to keep your jade plant away from any curious pets or children.
