What is the Money Plant (Crassula ovata)?

Crassula ovata is an iconic succulent trusted by beginner and expert gardeners alike. With its fleshy, oval-shaped leaves and thick stems, the Jade Plant is incredibly resilient and can live for decades with minimal care. While many people in New Zealand search for "money plant Bunnings" to find this variety, you'll find a wider selection, careful cultivation, and friendly service at specialist nurseries like ours.

Growing Conditions for Thriving Money Plants

One reason Crassula ovata is so popular is its adaptability. The Jade Plant tolerates a wide range of growing conditions and is just as happy on a sunny windowsill as it is in a warm, sheltered spot in the garden. For best results, use a free-draining succulent mix, water thoroughly but infrequently, and provide bright, indirect sunlight. During New Zealand winters, keep your money plant away from frost.

Looking for even more variety? Consider adding Crassula arborescens or Crassula sarmentosa Comet to your succulent collection for different foliage colours and forms.
