Also known as the money tree, Crassula ovata is a succulent sub-shrub with small pink or white flowers. Native to South Africa and Mozambique, it's commonly grown as a houseplant in cooler regions.
Crassula ovata has thick branches and thick, shiny, succulent dark green leaves. The leaves of some cultivars develop a red tinge when exposed to sunlight. Given a warm and humid environment, Crassula ovata bears small, star-shaped pink or white flowers in spring.
Grow in pots indoors in bright, airy conditions, in cactus compost. Water sparingly and feed fortnightly with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce watering in autumn.
