Taking care of your garden is also like taking care of your own child, you must give them your time and effort as well as tender, love and care especially those who require much attention like the succulent plants that I have indoors. But there is that one plant which I also received during our housewarming party and until now is very healthy and does not wither or die easily. And I have learned through my friends that it is actually an extremely popular succulent houseplant, most of my friends and neighbors have these type of plant. It is sometimes called as the money plant or dollar plant and it was once though to bring good luck to their owners, that is the reason why they were often given as housewarming gifts.
The plant is commonly known as the Jade plant, it is inexpensive, fast-growing, under demanding and amazingly resilient plant which is usually available at most garden outlet center, and local nurseries. Although these jade plants are very easy to grow they are also very susceptible to mealy bugs and fungal diseases , so the owner or the care taker of the plant must make sure that it is watered properly and has enough sunlight for these fungal problems not to worsen. This type of plant is commonly grown indoors and excels as one, it can also survive for decades in the same pot as long as not over watered too often. However, it is recommended to change the soil every 2 to 4 years because the soil needs to be very well draining.
You must always remember to never let your jade plant sit in the water and with proper conditions, the Jade plant will soon have white flowers making it an attractive and mildly fragrant display. Also, from time to time gently wipe the leaves of Jade plants to remove the dust and like all houseplant it adds oxygen to the room or house and helps clean the air.
