Crassula ovata, universally known as the Jade Plant, Money Plant, or Friendship Tree, is one of the most popular and recognizable succulents in the world. Native to South Africa and Mozambique, this plant is celebrated for its tree-like appearance, thick woody stems, and fleshy, oval-shaped leaves. Its longevity and resilience make it a cherished houseplant, often passed down through generations.

 

 

Detailed Description

 

The Jade Plant is a succulent shrub that, with proper care and time, can grow into a small, tree-like form with a thick trunk and a branching canopy. It can reach heights of 3 to 6 feet in a container, and much larger in its native habitat. The stems are thick and woody, turning brown with age, while the young branches are a soft green.

 

The leaves are its most prominent feature: they are thick, glossy, and a vibrant jade-green color. They are typically oval-shaped and can develop a reddish tint on their edges when exposed to bright sunlight or cooler temperatures, adding to their visual appeal.

 

Mature Jade Plants, especially when grown outdoors, can produce clusters of small, star-shaped, white or pale pink flowers in the fall and winter. These blooms are a lovely sight and can fill the air with a sweet fragrance.

 

 

Growing Tips

 

The Jade Plant is a fantastic low-maintenance plant, but a few key tips will ensure it thrives and grows into a beautiful specimen.

  • Sunlight: The Jade Plant loves bright light. For the best growth and color, provide at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. A south or west-facing window is ideal. While it can tolerate lower light, it may become leggy and the leaves will be less vibrant.

     

  • Fertilizing: Feed the plant sparingly. During its active growing season (spring and summer), you can apply a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer once every two months. Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.

     

  • Pruning: Pruning is beneficial to maintain a compact, tree-like shape and to encourage a bushier appearance. You can prune off leggy stems and leaves at any time of the year. The cuttings can be used for propagation.

     

 

Temperature and Hardiness

 

The Jade Plant prefers warm, dry conditions and is not frost-tolerant.

 

  • Temperature: It thrives in average room temperatures between 65°F and 75°F (18°C to 24°C).

     

  • Hardiness Zones: It is hardy in USDA zones 10-11. In colder climates, it is best grown as a houseplant and moved outdoors during the warm summer months.

     

 

Water Requirements

 

Overwatering is the most common cause of problems with Jade Plants. They are highly drought-tolerant and store water in their leaves and stems.

 

  • Watering Frequency: Use the "soak and dry" method. Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. The leaves may feel soft or slightly wrinkled when the plant is thirsty. Water thoroughly and deeply, allowing all excess water to drain from the bottom of the pot.

     

  • Seasonal Changes: Reduce watering significantly in the cooler, dormant months of fall and winter.

     

 

Soil Preparation

 

Well-draining soil is essential to prevent root rot.

 

  • Ideal Mix: A commercial succulent or cactus potting mix is a perfect choice.

     

  • DIY Mix: You can create your own gritty mix by combining regular potting soil with inorganic amendments like perlite, coarse sand, or pumice. A mix with at least 50% inorganic material is recommended for optimal drainage.

     

  • Potting: Always use a pot with a drainage hole. Terracotta or clay pots are an excellent choice as their porous nature helps to wick away excess moisture.

     

 

Propagation

 

Propagating the Jade Plant is incredibly easy and has a very high success rate.

  • Stem Cuttings: This is the fastest and most common method.

    1. Using a clean, sharp knife or clippers, take a stem cutting that has at least two leaf nodes.

    2. Allow the cutting to "callous over" or dry out for a few days to a week. This prevents rot.

    3. Plant the cutting in a pot with well-draining succulent soil.

    4. Water sparingly until roots have formed.

  • Leaf Cuttings: You can also grow a new plant from a single leaf.

     

    1. Gently twist a healthy, plump leaf from the stem.

    2. Allow the leaf to callous for a few days.

    3. Lay the leaf on top of well-draining soil. Roots and a tiny new plant will eventually emerge from the base of the leaf. Be patient, as this can take several weeks or months.

MUST Read for any age.
Format: Paperback
I read this book as a sophomore in college for a unit on banned books. Knowing that there is a generation of students who won't get to read this book and think about/discuss the themes Lo presents is devastating. Despite the debates surrounding the book’s appropriateness for younger kids, I believe this book is EXACTLY what children need to be reading. Specifically, I think middle school-aged children could gain a lot of value in reading this book to help them understand sexuality, relationships with family and friends, and that not everything is as black and white as some people may believe. Lily and Kath’s relationship is written so beautifully, and as a reader, it felt real. Even though I would categorize this as a YA novel, anyone at any age can gain a lot from reading this. The story is captivating and real. Lily (the main character) doesn't get everything she wants, and while the ending is somewhat satisfactory, it leaves the reader wanting to know more, which I think has its pros and cons. Personally, I liked the general ending, but to be honest, I wanted to know more about what ended up happening regarding some of the storylines of the book. For example, Lily’s father had some issues regarding his immigrant status. We hear bits and pieces here and there, but we never really find out if/how it gets solved. Relationships like Lily and Tommy’s (a performer at the Telegraph Club) spark interesting conversations about power dynamics and where the line is between nurturing and overstepping. I understand parents, guardians, and teachers may be worried about “exposing” children to “difficult” content and discussing things like sexuality with young individuals. But in my opinion, books like this are the perfect way to lay the groundwork for those types of conversations. We are delivered messages and lessons through an interesting story with layers about what it is like to be a teenage girl in a World of uncertainty– something I think many can relate to. Please read. Please give to your children to read. Please don't let this book be erased.

sweet tale of a child of immigrant parents figuring out her own truth
Format: Kindle
1950's San Francisco Chinatown is complicated enough for second generation Chinese teenagers, what with racism whenever they leave their safe neighborhoods, the Nationalists vs Communists entangling families in politics, and the ever present Red Scare excusing blatant police and enforcement inequities. Imagine falling in love with a white person of your own gender at that time. Lily is fascinated by the ad for a male impersonator at a local club. When she realizes the only other girl in her advanced math class also likes that ad, she begins sneaking out of her house and her "good Chinese daughter" persona to hang out in a club where terms like "butch" and "dyke" show her another world where women like her live and love. Lily is naive, and loving, and just wants to do the right thing, but she'll have to face the constant choice of living true to herself or telling lies to appease her family. The romance in this is understated and reserved, and its far more a historical exploration of 1950's Chinatown culture and the most interesting (to me ) intersection of cultures where the second generation children of immigrant parents must negotiate their identities within conflicting expectations. Lily is part of a large extended family that includes close knit families of Chinatown and her actions have repercussions on many people-- including her non-citizen father. I didn't personally care for the sudden changes in POV to Lily's mother and Aunt...they added little to the tale I thought and their voices were too similar to Lily's to be interesting to me. I found myself skimming those bits to get back to Lily. The addition of timelines with historical and Lily's family events were interesting, but also confusing as the flashbacks jumped back and forth. Very historically interesting, sweet, tale that keeps you anxious for Lily's welfare but never goes down a truly dark path.

Historically accurate, coming of age queer love story.
Format: Paperback
A beautifully written, historically accurate coming of age queer love story. The author even includes in the end a section discussing why she uses the language she does. This is a really good glimpse into the realities of queerness in the '50s and it wasn't all pretty. The unique viewpoint of Asian American life in the '50s prompted some history deep diving on my end and I love when a book prompts further interest in topics you realize you knew very little about. We're all so absorbed in our own worlds and it was a pleasure getting to glimpse into another world that wasn't actually another world at all. Wonderful young adult read.

An amazing story not to be missed!
Format: Kindle
This just might be my most favorite book of the year! I know we’re only in February, but still! This has long been waiting on my TBR pile and I could kick myself for taking so long to pick this up. This is a YA historical sapphic tale set in 1950s San Francisco. Lily a high school senior is the epitome of a “good Chinese girl” responsible and respectful. Her world is thrown into a tailspin when she realizes that she likes girls. Accompanying her in this discovery is Kath, a fellow senior and together they find “themselves” under the heady atmosphere of the Telegraph Club. There was so much to love about this book from the authenticity of the backdrop to the incredibly sweet romance playing out. Malinda Lo has clearly done a ton of research (check out her Author’s note, it’s amazing), you can see it come to life in the rich description of the city, the smokey club, the character mannerisms and interactions. All of which have that ring of reality to it and serves to completely immerse you in that time period. I loved how Lo slowly built out Lily’s affirmation of who she is from feeling initially guilty about her attraction, to being brave enough to seek out the Telegraph Club to proudly standing up to her beliefs and her love for Kath. There are lots of side characters and side stories, all serving the purpose of highlighting the political climate, drama and mental makeup of the characters. But my favorite was Lily’s aunt and role model Judy. Her last line “I don’t understand what you’ve been going through, but you’ll just have to put up with me until I do understand.” was just perfect and you know inside that Lily would be okay with Judy in her corner. That last portion of the book is a lip wobbler so get ready coz it packs a punch and that epilogue was just pure class. No saccharine HEA but something filled with lots of love and hope. The hype is well deserved! So don’t put it off anymore just go read it! Easily 5🌟s
