Light and position in the home
The money plant prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Strong light can cause leaves to turn purple.
Flowers and foliage
Jade plant leaves are fleshy and succulent-like. It is possible for white or pink star shaped flowers to emerge at the beginning of winter when days are darker and colder. However, flowers aren't common on these plants and usually only occur on very established plants.
Watering and humidity
Allow the soil to dry out a little between watering but not too much and do not allow to sit in water for too long. Jade plants are normally dormant over the winter period and generally require less water.
Temperature
Room temperatures are ideal for the Jade plant avoid anything lower than 5 degrees Celsius and any warm or cold drafts..
