Jade Hanging AKA lucky plant, money plant or money tree. Jade is an evergreen plant with very thick stems and also its leaves are thick, smooth, shiny, and juicy. Light Jade plant grows best in a mix of direct sun and bright indirect light for best vigour and foliage colour. Allow at least 4-6 hours of direct sun, providing protection during the hottest part of the day to prevent leaf burn. Water Jade plants die far more often to overwatering than underwatering. Their fleshy leaves act as a water reservoir. Water thoroughly and allow to dry out completely in-between watering.
