| Joanne's Jade Plant |
It's a descendant of the enormous Jade plant we used to have in our back yard; Cindy gave Joanne a cutting from ours the last time she came to visit, and she has carefully nurtured it ever since then.
Since she lives in Minnesota, succulents like Jade take some care to keep them alive.
In our San Diego climate, Jade (Crassula ovata) needs very little encouragement to grow. In fact, the back 40 was pretty much covered with Jade and other plants gone wild before we cleared it out to increase the defensible space around our house and garage and cut down the danger of wildfire.
Since these plants are also called dollar plants or money plants, it might be a good thing to have a few of them around.
