The Best Crassula Varieties for Your Collection

While Crassula ovata is the classic money tree, many exciting relatives can complement or offer a fresh look to your succulent display:

Crassula arborescens – Known for its silvery blue leaves and tree-like form, it makes a stunning companion plant.
Crassula sarmentosa Comet – This charming variety displays cascading stems with variegated green, yellow, and red foliage.
Crassula pellucida variegata – Its heart-shaped, pink-and-cream foliage suits hanging baskets and window sills.
Crassula ovata minima – A petite, compact variety perfect for small pots or terrariums.
Crassula argentea (Jade Plant) – Another beloved jade, distinguished by its robust growth and thick, glossy leaves.

How to Care for Your Money Tree

Caring for your money tree is a breeze, making it a great gift or starter plant. For best results, position your Crassula ovata in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. These succulents prefer a well-draining cactus mix and minimal fertiliser during the warm growing months. Avoid overwatering—roots prefer to stay slightly dry.

If you’d like to expand your succulent garden, consider pairing your money tree with striking specimens like Agave celsii, Agave parrasana, or Sedum 'Silver Blob'. For a pop of cheerful colour, Mesembryanthemum Gold and Agave havardiana are outstanding choices.
