Lucky Jade Plant

The Jade Plant, known scientifically as Crassula ovata, is a succulent with round fleshy leaves that look like jade coins. In both Chinese and Indian traditions, it is believed to attract wealth, prosperity, and positive energy. That is why you see it at the entrance of shops, offices, and homes across India. It is also called the money tree in some cultures.

The Jade Plant stores water in its thick leaves. It only needs watering once every 2 to 3 weeks in summer and once a month in winter. The self-watering pot prevents overwatering, which is the number one reason jade plants die in India.
