Jade plants have thick, shiny green leaves that look like smooth little stones or tiny green coins! They originally come from South Africa, where it is very hot and dry. Many people keep jade plants in their homes because they are super easy to take care of.
Jade plants have thick, round, shiny leaves that stay green all year round. They can also grow tiny, star-shaped white or pink flowers when they get enough sunlight. If a leaf falls off and lands on some soil, it can actually grow roots and become a whole new plant all by itself!
- Some jade plants have been alive for over 100 years, which means a jade plant could be older than your great-great-grandparents!
- In some countries, people call the jade plant the “money tree” or “lucky plant” because they believe it brings good luck and happiness to the family.
