Variegated Jade Plant

The Variegated Jade Plant (Crassula ovata ‘Variegata’) is a stunning succulent known for its fleshy, oval-shaped leaves with creamy white or yellow streaks alongside rich green. Native to South Africa, it is a slow-growing, low-maintenance plant, ideal for both indoor and outdoor settings. Its thick stems and compact growth make it a popular choice for bonsai. The variegated foliage adds ornamental value, especially when grown in bright, indirect sunlight, which enhances its color contrasts. Like other jade plants, it stores water in its leaves, requiring minimal watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so well-draining soil is essential. In favorable conditions, it may produce small star-shaped white or pink flowers. Considered a symbol of prosperity and good luck, the Variegated Jade Plant is also commonly called the “money plant” or “friendship tree.” With proper care, it can thrive for many years, making it a cherished addition to homes and offices.
