A mini jade sized for terrariums
Crassula ovata · also known as Jade plant, money plant, friendship tree
Native to Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
A young South African jade in a 7.5cm grow pot, ready to plant into a terrarium or keep on a sunny sill. It is believed that while a jade thrives in your home, you'll never be short of money.
- A small jade in a 7.5cm grow pot, the right size for an open terrarium or dish garden.
- Slow growing, so it stays neat in a mixed succulent display for a long time.
- Easy care: bright light near a window and water only once the soil has dried out.
