How truly lovely! It’s one of the prettiest developments in my backyard garden during the autumn. I came home about 30 minutes ago and just gave it a light watering. I really love how the reddish edges as they contrast with the pale green. By December, tiny white flowers dot my jade plant, as if they were snowflakes!
I’ve had this plant for several years now. It started its early years in a stone container in my bathroom. It has grown at least quadruple its original size since I transplanted it into the ground. Loveliness as sweet as this cannot be contained, nor should it be!
CONSUMER ALERT UPDATE: Ingestion of the sap of the jade plant may cause illness and skin contact with the sap may also cause dermatitis. More information on toxic plants can be found here:
