The cactus club is back and there’s a new plant waiting to meet you! Good fortune awaits you plant lover, as June’s Barry’s Cactus Club box contains the Jade Money Tree! (Crassula Ovata)

She features thick, green leaves which emerge in abundance from her branches, making this month’s mystery plant a succulent! Curious about what makes her a succulent? Check out our cactus vs succulent blog. The quirky name for this plant refers to how she is said to bring wealth, prosperity, and good luck.

She is a sun-lover and will feel right at home on a sunny windowsill or sundrenched desk. Keep your new gal pal hydrated during the growing season by using the soak and dry method, which you can find out more about in Barry’s watering blog. In the wild, the jade money tree survives with little water and full sunshine making her a low maintenance plant perfect for beginners!

Keep your new Jade friend well out of reach of your furry friends as she is considered toxic to cats and dogs, the most common symptoms are vomiting, lethargy, decreased appetite, and stumbling. If your furry friend ingests your Jade plant keep a close eye on them and see your vet for advice.
