The Botany Bay Jade plant, known as the Crassula ovata 'Botany Bay', is a popular Jade plant known for its unique foliage and low-maintenance care. This Crassula succulent is one of the most widely distributed flowering succulents out there. Additionally, "Botany Bay" is the name of a location in Australia where significant botanical discoveries were made.

This image features a lush, mature Botany Bay Jade plant with tightly packed, glossy green leaves forming a dense, bonsai-like canopy.

In Chinese culture, Crassula ovata is known as the "money tree" or "feng shui money tree" and is believed to bring good luck and financial prosperity to those who grow it.

This money plant is often given as a gift during the Chinese New Year or other auspicious occasions.

Native to South Africa and Mozambique, this evergreen beauty can grow up to 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, depending on its conditions (so make sure you give it plenty of root space!).

During summertime, those glossy green tubular leaves shine brightly, but as we head into cooler temperatures, those edges start turning red - talk about stunning! 

The star-shaped flowers of the jade plant bloom in late winter to early spring with white flowers that create an eye-catching contrast between open blossoms and closed buds. These pollinated flowers produce seeds enclosed in these buds.

Money tree plants are exceptionally easy to propagate by leaf or stem cuttings, so you can quickly grow your collection with just a few simple steps.

The jade succulents typically go dormant during the winter months, from late fall to early spring. During this period, the plant will stop growing and may lose some of its leaves. This is a natural process and is not harmful to the plant. To encourage its growth during dormancy, the plant should be kept in a cool, dark location and reduced watering. 

So, whether you call it a jade plant, lucky plant, or money tree, Crassula ovata is definitely worth adding to your collection! 

When and How to Water Your Botany Bay Jade Plant 

The Botany Bay Jade plant succulent is naturally drought-tolerant, having evolved to store water in its thick, fleshy leaves. This makes it particularly well-suited to indoor environments where frequent watering isn’t ideal. Like most succulents, it thrives when watered using the soak-and-dry method, thoroughly saturating the soil and allowing it to dry out completely before the next watering. The Crassula ovata ‘Botany Bay’ prefers watering 10-14 days once every growing season, and once every 3-4 weeks in the dormant season.

In spring and summer, during the active growing season, the jade plant will appreciate slightly more frequent watering once every 10 to 14 days. Always check the soil moisture before watering. If the top 2 inches are dry and the pot feels noticeably lighter, it’s time to water again. Bright, indirect light and warm indoor temperatures will also cause the plant to use water more quickly during this time.

In fall and winter, during the dormant season, growth slows considerably, and so should your watering routine. Watering once every 3 to 4 weeks is often sufficient, especially in cooler homes where evaporation is slower. Be extra cautious during this period; moist, cold soil is a recipe for root rot. Reduce watering frequency and avoid misting or adding humidity, as this succulent prefers dry air year-round.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Jade Plant 

When grown indoors, place your Jade plant in the brightest sunny place in your house, where it gets 4-6 hours of bright light daily.

Direct sunlight can scorch the new leaves off, so placing them near a window that receives filtered or indirect light is best. 

The amount of light the plant receives can affect the color of its leaves. The money tree grown in bright light will have more vibrant, deep green leaves, while the foliage of those grown in lower light conditions may have a lighter, yellow-green color.  

When grown outdoors, the jade plant thrives best in full sun to partial shade, for at least six hours of strong light each day to survive. However, partial shade in the afternoon is often preferable - especially in hotter climates where the plant might become stressed by the intense heat of the afternoon sun.  

The red coloration on the margins of the leaves of a Jade plant is a sign of stress; it's usually not harmful to the plant and will often disappear once the plant is returned to the bright sunlight.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Botany Bay jade plant prefers sandy, well-drained soil and should be fertilized once a year in the spring. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your new plants and succulents thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing your Crassula ovata, it only needs a small amount of fertilizer applied once a year in spring. Succulent plants prefer a fertilizer with lower doses of NPK, with a maximum ratio of 5-10-5, higher in phosphorus than nitrogen.

Hardiness Zone & More

In the United States, this Botany Bay Jade Plant is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

The jade plant, on the other hand, cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45 degrees F in its environment. 

As desert dwellers, the jade plant enjoys hot temperatures and high humidity, but can tolerate lower humidity as well. They prefer constant temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your succulents get too hot.

In terms of coloration, Jade plants can display different colors depending on the temperature. When the plants are exposed to cooler temperatures, the leaves may turn reddish or purplish in color. This reddish tint on smooth, fleshy leaves is a natural response to cooler temperatures and is not harmful to the plant.

How to Grow Best Botany Bay Jade Plant Indoors 

Botany Bay Jade plants thrive in temperatures between 65-75°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. Make sure to place them in a bright, indirect light location to encourage healthy growth. Avoid overwatering by allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Wildlife - Jade Plant Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators

Jade plant flowers are known to attract a variety of friendly pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These creatures are drawn to the sweet nectar and vibrant colors of the flowers, helping to facilitate pollination and promote the growth of new plants. Additionally, the presence of these pollinators can contribute to a healthy ecosystem and biodiversity in the surrounding area.

According to ASPCA, the Crassula ovata 'Botany Bay' jade plant is considered mildly toxic to pets and humans. However, it is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for indoor houseplants.

How to Propagate Your Crassula ovata 'Botany Bay' Jade Plant

To propagate your Crassula ovata 'Botany Bay' Jade Plant, you can take stem cuttings from a healthy, mature plant. Make sure the cutting is at least 3-4 inches long and allow it to dry for a few days before planting it in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots develop, then gradually increase watering as the plant establishes itself.

Concise yet thorough treatment of the difficult passages.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Excellent, balanced, thorough treatment of the pastoral epistles. Highly recommended. Note: Customer 7 above is incorrect in stating that Yarbrough doesn’t reference or quote Hubner on 1 Tim 2:12. You will find Hubner on pages 175 and 176.

Another welcome Pillar commentary
Format: Hardcover
The newest volume in the excellent Pillar New Testament Commentary series is another first-rate effort. The American New Testament professor has already done a very good commentary on 1-3 John (BECNT, 2008). His newest commentary adds to a now rather impressive line-up of Pillar commentaries. As to the Pastorals, the four most important and substantial commentaries from a basically conservative, evangelical stance over the past few decades have been these: 1992: George Knight (NIGTC – 500 pages) 2000: Jerome Quinn and William Wacker (ECC – 900 pages) 2000: William Mounce (WBC – 640 pages) 2006: Philip Towner (NICNT – 900 pages) Mention should also be made of two other commentaries. One is the 1999 volume by I. Howard Marshall (with Philip Towner) in the ICC series. It is also 900 pages and looks to be outstanding. But I do not own it (the ICC series is SO expensive), so I cannot comment further on it. Another is the shorter, 300+ page work by Gordon Fee (NIBC, 1984) which can also be added to any list of highly recommended volumes on the Pastorals. Now we have Yarbrough to join these important works. He provides us with a very workable, informed and detailed examination of the Pastoral Epistles. He spends 95 of his 600 pages on introductory matters. As to authorship, it has become somewhat trendy of late to deny Pauline authorship. Even some conservatives have gone in this direction Yarbrough offers ten pages on this, and affirms the traditional stance, saying: “For eighteen centuries, Pauline authorship was never doubted by the churches’ intellectual leaders; even in the last two centuries, many have doubted the doubters.” As to the commentary proper, one tends to first head to well-known, contentious, difficult, or important passages. So let me reflect on a few of these. One of the most hotly debated passages in the Pastorals of course has to do with the matter of women in leadership. Paul covers this in several places, but the most crucial passage is 1 Timothy 2:11-15. This is certainly a difficult passage in many respects, and one that is hotly debated. The two main camps on this have been the complementarians, who argue that men and women are equal in worth and status, but have differing, hierarchical roles, and the egalitarians, who argue that women can fully serve in church leadership positions. This debate has been going on for quite some time now. Because all of 1 Tim. 2 must be considered here (dealing as it does with propriety in public worship), Yarbrough has a lengthy general discussion about these issues first. He then devotes another 20 pages to the actual contentious passage. He offers a “qualified complementarian reading” on all this. Egalitarians may not fully agree, but they should appreciate his careful and gracious exegesis here. And of course he has written on this elsewhere, as in his chapter in the important volume edited by Kostenberger and Schreiner: Women in the Church, 3rd ed. (Crossway, 1995, 2016). Another issue that can be rather difficult to understand and deal with concerns those who “have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme” (1 Tim 1:18-20). Paul says something similar in 1 Cor. 5. Says Yarbrough, “From these two passages it may be inferred that in grave cases of ethical or doctrinal lapse, and perhaps drawing on Job 2:6, Satan was viewed as ‘God’s agent in judicial administration.’ Whereas congregations would normally have prayed for one another, there were evidently cases where petition would shift from divine protection to divine discipline (with Satan as God’s agent). Sometimes harsh measures are required to wake people up (see 2 Thess. 3:10-14).” Since discussions about overseers are found in all three epistles, both Paul and Yarbrough spend much time on the topic. In one of the passages he makes this remark: “In sum, ‘the overseer is to be’ introduces more than a random wish list for the pastorally inclined do-gooder. It points to a quality and depth of godliness that are indiscernible for the magnitude and gravity of pastoral labor that Paul models, expects of Timothy, and hopes to see replicated in generations to come at Ephesus and beyond.” Two more issues that can be contentious for some is found in 1 Tim. 5:23: “Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.” Some teetotallers try to argue that this is not actual wine, but watered down grape juice. And some of the health and wealth gospellers insist that no faith-filled believer should ever get sick. Yarbrough gives short shrift to both of these ideas. Another famous passage dealing with wealth is 1 Tim. 6:6-10 which speaks of false teachers and the love of money. Yarbrough affirms the biblical balance Paul seeks to present here: “Birth and death both illustrate the tenuous relation between life and material goods. Paul wants to relativize (not trivialize or eliminate) the importance of earthly acquisitions, since he observes people tempted to enlist God in their material quest. . . . It is important to note that this is not an adoption of an ideal of Hellenistic philosophy. Nor is it an endorsement of poverty. . . . If God does grant wealth, and if a believer has not sold his or her soul to acquire it, Paul will later give directions for its proper utilization (see on vv. 17-19 below).” Other matters could be mentioned here. But all up this is a very competent and usable commentary, one that will stand the test of time. It offers careful exegesis and helpful theological insights. It is a very welcome addition to the Pillar series. The PNTC series really has become one of the premier sets for evangelicals and those who want the best of biblical scholarship and careful exegesis.

Great, New Commentary!
Format: Hardcover
This commentary by Robert Yarbrough will become, I predict, a top-rated volume on the Pastoral Epistles. These epistles are ideal for the style of commentary we find in the Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC) series. As respected and valuable as the NICNT volumes by the same publisher are, these Pillar volumes are simply more valuable. They have a better center of focus, are more consistently conservative, and have more value for pastors without sacrificing scholarship. This volume succeeds in reaching that standard too. As you might have guessed, the editorship of D. A. Carson likely keeps this series moored to that lofty perch. BTW, don’t miss the editor’s preface where Carson fawns over Yarbrough’s work here. I was in love with this commentary within a few pages of its fine Introduction. So many commentators lose their way in the Pastoral Epistles. I have long suspected that it has far more to do with the authors dislike of what these epistles say rather than any actual problem found within them. Yarbrough is not sucked into the irrational fear of using the term “pastoral epistles” as so many are today either. It’s a breath of fresh air. He opens the Introduction with eight theses on pastoral heritage in these epistles. To my mind, that was a great way to present introductory issues. Next, he does a section each on Father, Son, and Spirit respectively in the Pastoral Epistles (PE). He was particularly perceptive in discussing Paul as a working pastor, even dispensing some silly critical theories along the way. He then tackles in turn geography, people, and key terms. He ends with a section on authorship and other usual introductory matters and masterfully reaches conservative conclusions. The commentary itself was even better! The phrase “real help” comes to mind. He showed off his skill, for example, in the perpetual battlefield of Titus 2. He gently yet surefootedly takes us where that disliked passage goes. He’s kind to dissenters, careful in scholarship, but not afraid to reach a conclusion. I don’t know about you, but that’s how I like my commentaries. 5 stars all the way!

A Thorough Commentary that Needs Less Neutrality
Format: Kindle
Dr. Yarbrough has addressed the meaning of the Pastoral Epistles with the excellence we have have come to expect from him. However, sometimes he seems reluctant to take a stand on some controversial issues (other than on Pauline authorship and matters of basic Christian orthodoxy, to both of which he is correctly firmly committed). When several possibilities of meaning are possible, for example, it would be helpful to know which hypothesis he favors, and why. While occasionally he does state a definitive opinion, more often he does not, perhaps in a laudable but somewhat overdone effort to avoid controversy with fellow theologians. However, when one reads a 1000+ page commentary written at a scholarly level, one expects the author to give his or her expert opinion on such matters—indeed, it is a major reason that one purchases and studies a commentary. To conclude on a more positive note, Dr. Yarbrough’s observations on Greek word usage, including numerous Old Testament passages from the Septuagint, the Apostolic Fathers and apocryphal works, were very helpful in aiding the reader in understanding fine shades of meaning. His pastoral observations and deductions based on the text are simply excellent. His discussions of the strengths and weaknesses commonly encountered in Christian leaders in Western countries versus those observed in leaders from other nations were fascinating and edifying, not to mention occasionally convicting (in a good way)—even for readers who aren’t pastors, like me.

Unimpressive
Format: Hardcover
Concerning various controversial questions of like Pauline authorship and women in ministry, Yarbrough's commentary is lackluster, polemical, and altogether dismissive of large swaths of evangelical scholarship that run counter to his claims. There are better commentaries from an evangelical perspective (I. Howard Marshall, Philip Towner) that seriously address such questions without resorting to hand-waving. Overall, an unimpressive and polemical work that is superseded by better words.
