$5.95 shipping, free on plant orders $65+. Ships to the contiguous US.
The plant you pass down. The Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) builds a miniature tree out of thick, coin round leaves, slowly enough that yours can outlast apartments, jobs, and decades.
Long considered a symbol of luck and prosperity, jade suits a sunny sill where its trunk thickens year over year into something genuinely bonsai like.
Care level: Easy going. Forgiving if you miss a watering, and happy with a check in every week or two.
Finding the right pot: Your plant arrives in its nursery grow pot. Choose a planter with an opening about an inch or two wider so it slips right in, and our pot size and drainage guide walks you through it. Then browse our planters for one that feels like home.
Jade Plant care
- Light: Real sun, at least four hours. A south window is perfect.
- Water: When leaves lose their firm snap, soak and drain well.
- Soil: Gritty succulent mix prevents the one thing that kills jade: wet feet.
- Pets: Toxic to cats and dogs, so shelf it out of reach.
- Growth: Slow, woody, and permanent feeling.

How do you make a Jade Plant bushy?
Sun and pruning. Pinch the growing tips in spring and the stem branches where you cut, doubling the canopy over time. Leggy jade is almost always a light problem, so move it closer to the window before anything else.
