Crassula ovata, commonly known as jade plant, lucky plant, money plant or money tree, is a succulent plant with small pink or white flowers that is native to the KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, and Mozambique; it is common as a houseplant worldwide.^[2]

Much of its popularity stems from the low levels of care needed; the jade plant requires little water and can survive in most indoor conditions. It is sometimes referred to as the money tree; however, Pachira aquatica also has this nickname.^[3]

Toxicity

Some sources claim that some species from the Crassulaceae family, including the jade plant are possibly toxic to horses, cats, and dogs, as well as mildly toxic to humans with skin contact, but such claims remain unproven.

Crassula ovata is known to be used as medicinal plant in some regions.^[8][9]
