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.
